Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from Mongar Town and head east on the main highway (National Highway 2). Continue for approximately 18 kilometers. You will pass through Ngatshang village, where you will see signposts directing you toward Korila Pass. Keep an eye on the road signs as you approach the pass, which is situated at an altitude of approximately 2,450 meters. The road can be winding and steep, so drive cautiously, especially if it's raining or foggy.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, you can catch a local bus or shared taxi from Mongar Town to Ngatshang. Buses usually leave from the main bus station in Mongar; make sure to check the schedule as it can vary. The fare is generally very affordable, around 50-100 Ngultrum (BTN). Once you arrive in Ngatshang, it's about a 15-20 minute walk to the Korila Pass. Look for signs or ask locals for directions, as it is a popular destination.

Walking

If you prefer to hike to Korila Pass from Ngatshang, you can do so but be prepared for a moderately challenging trek. Start from the center of Ngatshang and follow the footpath that leads up toward the pass. It will take approximately 1-1.5 hours to reach the pass on foot, depending on your fitness level. Make sure to wear good hiking shoes and bring water, as the path can be steep and uneven.
