Dare to drive the dangerous Chhatang La

Chhatang La is an international high mountain pass at an elevation of 5.674m (18,615ft) above the sea level, located on the Nepal-China border. It’s one of the highest roads of the country.

The road to the summit is unpaved. It’s a military road closed to civilians. The road is usually impassable in winters. There is no road on the Nepali side. The pass links the Mustang District of the Dhawalagiri Zone of northern Nepal and the historical Tsang province of Tibet, in China.
