Chele La Pass in Paro, Bhutan | Highest Motorable Pass in Bhutan
PARO
The beautiful alpine valley of Paro, located in western Bhutan, is the gateway to the last Himalayan kingdom. Encapsulating a rich culture, scenic beauty and hundreds of myths and legends, Paro is home to over 155 temples and monasteries, some are the oldest in Bhutan and dating as far back as the 14th century, the country’s only international airport and the National Museum.
Paro is situated on the banks of the Paro Chhu river, which gently carves its way through the wide valley, creating beautiful vistas and fertile rice fields. This valley is one of the Kingdom's most fertile, producing the bulk of Bhutan's famous red rice from its terraced fields.
Paro International Airport is the sole international airport of the four airports in Bhutan. It is 6 kilometres from Paro in a deep valley on the bank of the river Paro Chhu. With surrounding peaks as high as 5,500 metres (18,000 ft), it is considered one of the world's most challenging airports, and only a very small number of pilots are certified to land at the airport.
Chele La (Chele Pass, la means pass in Dzongkha) is the highest motorable point in Bhutan, sitting 3,988 metres (13,083 ft) above sea level, between the Haa and Paro valleys. The pass is located 35 km from Paro and 26 km from Haa on the Bondey-Haa Highway. Built in the 1990s, the asphalt road is narrow and steep, with sharp turns and sheer drops. It may be dangerous in winter due to snow and ice and the risk of avalanche.
