Thrumshing La

Thrumshing La
Thrumshing La (3780m) is Bhutan's second highest mountain pass.
Connecting Mongar in the east to central Bumthang district, the lateral road climbs more than 3000m and has to navigate the most notorious stretch of road in the country at Namling Brak (Namling cliffs).
There the narrow road clings to the cliffside with a 300m sheer drop and no roadside protection to speak of except a few prayer flags above the waterfall. Every Bhutanese remembers the full bus that crashed down the cliff years ago...



No wonder Thrumshing La is covered in masses of prayer flags as everyone wants to say thank you for getting through safely. The incense burner is also well used.

Großen Dank, Karin! Die Schneeberge haben mich fasziniert! Ich hatte nicht erwartet, dass sie noch so weit weg sind....

sehr pittoreske Bilder, macht Fernweh. Die Luft ist in der Höhe schon ganz schön dünn. Braucht etwas Gewöhnung.

Herzlichen Dank, Leo! Als ich dort oben aus dem Bus gestiegen bin, war's mir kurz etwas schwindlig;-) Sonst habe ich die Höhe in Bhutan gut vertragen, bis auf beim Bergaufgehen, da bekam ich echt Probleme mit der Luft.
