Geocache Description:


Chele La Pass hike

(EN) Great hike which I can highly recommend especially in the beginning of May. The trek usually starts at Kila Gompa Nunnery located on the cliffs below Chele La pass at about 3,500m above sea level.

There are seven small temples and several retreat huts built into a dizzying Cliffside. The trail takes you through forest filled with primula, rhododendron and many other species of plants and trees. After crossing the pass, the trail goes along the ridge of Chele La.

If you are lucky with the weather you can experience stunning views of the Himalayan mountain ranges and both valleys: Haa and Paro. The Chele La is the highest pass crossed by a Bhutanese highway.

The cache is hidden at the highest point of the trail. It is a small petling and to get it you do not need to climb anywhere. Terrain rating is strictly related to hike itself. See spoiler picture and be careful when retrieving as there is usually lot of muggols.
