Discover the Majestic Bumla Pass

Getting There

• Car

  Start your journey from Tawang town, which is well-connected by road. Head east on the Tawang-Geshila road. The distance from Tawang to Bumla Pass is approximately 37 kilometers. The road is scenic but narrow, so drive cautiously. The journey takes about 1-2 hours, depending on road conditions. You'll need to stop at the Indian Army check post at Jang to get permission to proceed to Bumla Pass. Make sure to carry your ID and any necessary documentation.

• Public Transportation

  From Tawang town, you can take a shared taxi or jeep that goes to Bumla Pass. These usually depart from the main taxi stand in Tawang. Ensure you confirm that the vehicle is heading to Bumla Pass, as some may only travel to Jang. The fare is typically around INR 500-700 per person. The vehicle will take you to Jang, where you will need to get off and show your identification at the check post for permission to enter Bumla Pass. Afterward, you can either wait for another shared vehicle to continue or hire a private taxi from Jang to reach the pass.

• Hiking

  For the adventurous, if you're already at the Jang check post and have received permission, you can hike the last stretch to Bumla Pass from Jang. It's a steep and challenging trek of about 6 kilometers, so only attempt this if you are physically fit and well-prepared. The hike typically takes about 2-3 hours. Ensure you have proper hiking gear, sufficient water, and food.
