This video was captured at Nathula during winter. Awesome video. Because of the high altitude at Nathula, oxygen level in the air is quite low. Located at an altitude of 14,140 feet and 52kms from Gangtok, Nathula Pass was the place through which the famous Silk Route used to operate until 1962. This used to be the silk trade route between India and Tibet. Lines of mules used to carry silk, gold and many other items from Tibet to India and take daily essentials back to Tibet.

Nathula is a protected area. Foreign tourists are not allowed here. Indians require a valid Protected Area Permit (PAP) to visit Nathula. You can take a round trip tour package from an authorized tour operator in Gangtok. Vehicles from Sikkim government approved tour operators are only allowed for Nathula.
