Chele La Pass

Viewpoint · Bhutan

Bhutan's highest motorable road, at 3,988 meters between the Paro and Haa valleys, climbing 1,800 vertical meters through blue pine, spruce and rhododendron before opening onto a prayer-flag-strung ridgeline with Jomolhari visible on clear days. October's dry post-monsoon air gives the most reliable views of the year.

Best for: a high-altitude scenic drive from Paro
