Pele La

Pele La (Pele Pass; la means pass in Dzongkha) is a high-mountain motorable pass located in Bhutan.

Location
From Wangdue Phodrang, one can travel east to Pele Pass in Bhutan's central region, which is located at an elevation of 3420 m. From its vantage point, on days with clear weather, observers can view Jomolhari soaring at 7326 m, Mount Jitchu Drake at 6662 m, and Mount Kang Bum standing tall at 6526 m.

The pass acts as a demarcation between the western and central regions of the country. Just at the pass, local artisans sell traditional Bhutanese handicrafts and handlooms.
