Sela Pass

It is a high-altitude mountain pass offering tourists some mesmerizing views of the surrounding areas. It is located on the West Kameng District and Tawang border at an elevation of 4170 m (13,700 ft). Most tourists visiting this destination are followers of Buddhism as the pass connects the Indian Buddhist town of Tawang to Dirang. Since it stays covered with snow almost throughout the year, there is scarce vegetation.

Sela Lake is situated very close to the pass and is one of the 101 lakes in that area. It is treated as a sacred lake by the Tibetan Buddhists. You will find it open almost throughout the year as the Pass does not experience heavy snowfall in winter. It can shut down temporarily due to landslides. It is advisable to get in touch with our tour agents before starting your tour as they keep themselves updated with weather predictions.
