Nathula Pass - Sikkim

Located in the northeast of India is the quaint little landlocked state of Sikkim. Be not fooled by its size, this small state holds huge amounts of beauty, one of them being the Nathula Pass. An ancient silk route connecting India to China, the pass was closed for 44 years following the Sino-Indian war. When you find yourself on a holiday in Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim and an important Buddhist Pilgrimage site, make sure to get permits to visit the Nathula pass. Its beauty is so enchanting that it is described as serenity in disguise. You can even meet the brave soldiers there. Taking a selfie with these men who protect you day and night is the least you can do.
