Sela Pass Stopover

At 13,700 feet, Sela Pass is the gateway to Tawang. It is covered in snow for most of the year. The Sela Lake (Paradise Lake) located near the summit is stunningly blue and often frozen.

The wind here is fierce and cold. Prayer flags flutter wildly, adding color to the white landscape. It is a place of desolate beauty.

Stopping here for a cup of tea at the army canteen is a ritual for travelers.
