Natu La (English spelling)

Japanese: ナトゥ・ラ[峠](英語表記)Natu La
Natu La (English spelling)
A pass on the border between Sikkim and Tibet in northeastern India. It is 4,310m above sea level and 24km east-northeast of Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. It is on the main trade route between India and Tibet, and leads from Sikkim to the Chumbi Valley in Tibet. Many travelers used to enter Tibet through this pass. However, in 1879, the British completed a road to Jelep La Pass (4,374m) south of this pass as a route to Tibet, which became the shortest route between Kalimpong and the Chumbi Valley.
