The Bum La Pass is a border pass between China’s Tsona County in Tibet and India’s Tawang district in Arunachal Pradesh. It is 37 km away from the town of Tawang in India’s Tawang district and 43 km from the town of Tsona Dzong in China’s Tsona County. The pass currently serves as a trading point between Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet. It is also an agreed Border Personnel Meeting point for the security forces of China and India.
Bumla Pass is a high altitude pass situated at the Indo-China border, claiming an elevation of 15,200 feet above the sea level. If you are fond of snow, you must know that thick blankets of snow cover this place throughout the year, making it appear surreal. Visiting Bumla Pass also gives you an opportunity to witness one of the four Indo-China Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) points.
Besides, the place features a high altitude lake, Sangestar Tso which is a sight to behold. If you are in Arunachal Pradesh, exploring Bumla Pass deserves to be a part of your itinerary.
