Pullout at Chele La
A monk keeps quarters at Chele La. Here you see him talking with a tourist, his guide and car off to the right.
Interestingly, to me anyway, are the various altitudes given for the pass summit. The sign here states it is 3988m (13,084 feet), one map I have shows it at 3780m (12,400 feet), and a book states it is 3810m (12,500 feet). Your guess is as good as mine...
By the way, another sign advertises a "Hotel" here. In reality, you would be very hard pressed to find lodging at the vast majority of hotels in Bhutan. Hotel seems to be the Bhutanese word for "restaurant"! Many of them "...cum Bar."
