Why to visit Sela Pass
The Himalayas and the Sela Pass combine to fascinate everyone with their magical splendour. Sela Pass, one of nature's most beautiful gifts to the North-East, is a lifeline for the people of Arunachal Pradesh, as it is the only means to connect the state's Tawang district to the rest of the country. Apart from its historical significance, Sela Pass is a breathtaking location that is always covered in snow and offers stunning views of the eastern Himalayan range. The Sela Lake, one of Arunachal's most stunning lakes, is located on the rocky pass. To access Sela Pass, an inner line permit is required due to the delicate nature of the area.
The Sela pass and the Sela lake, which are located at an elevation of 4170 metres, serve as a gateway to Arunachal Pradesh and serve to inform visitors about the treasures that await them within the state. When standing at Sela Pass, gazing into the icy Sela Lake, one cannot help but be awestruck by the Himalayas. Sela pass is located around 80 kilometres from Tawang city and is an excellent area to stop and rest while appreciating the beauty of the surrounds.
