During our 10 day trip to Bhutan, we twice passed over Dochu La (Pass). At the top there is a monument to the Bhutanese soldiers who died in a conflict repulsing Indian insurgents who had crossed the border and were trying to settle along the southern Bhutanese border. One Chorten for each soldier who died. The altitude here is 10.300 feet. When the skies are clear, you can see lots mountain peaks such as: Masagang (7,158m), Tsendagang (6,960m), Terigang (7,060m), Jejegangphugang (7,158 m), Kangphugang 7,170 m), Zongphugang (7,060 m), and Gangkar Puensum, the highest peak in Bhutan at 7,497m.

These photos were taken in October 2008 mostly with a Nikon D3.
