The trip starts by driving to Chelela, the highest pass on the entire motor roads in Bhutan. After a brief photo stop at the pass, you will walk along the prayer flags festooned ridges with views of Haa and Paro valleys amazingly becoming more conspicuous as when you climb one ridge after another. On clear weather, you will also be greeted by awesome views of Mount Kanchenjongga in Sikkim and Mount Jumolhari and Jichu Drake in Bhutan.

After hiking for 2 hours, you will reach at the top of the last ridge Kungkarpo situated at 4300m or 12900 feet from the sea level. Buddhists use this place as a sky burial for dead infants. To be more adventurous, you can walk further down the ridges towards Haa Valley.  The view of valleys beneath, yak pastures and near by mountains are breathtakingly superb.
