Above 4000 m in East Sikkim is this border. The mountains here are rocky with little vegetation in contrast to greener mountains in the Northern part. There is always a lot of wind blowing here. What funny was, we encountered just 1 Chinese tourists as opposed to 100+ Indians. But then, its not easy for Chinese tourists to come here so far traveling through the mighty Himalayas.

On the way to Guru Dongmar lake (5573 m), 40 km still to go, we had to turn our wheels coz the wheels would have skided on the wayback .

This part of the roads in the Himalayas are prone to landslides..we experienced it on our way to Lachung & Yumthung (places of interest in North Sikkim,INDIA).. Tourists & local people often get smashed to pieces & even thrown aside into deep gorge on the opposite sides of the road when large masses of mountain rocks fall upon them..truly horrible!!!! TAKE A LOOK AT THE NIGHTMARE WE EXPERIENCED & FEEL THE CHILL....
