ヒマラヤの峠・トップ20

世界で越えられる最も高い峠。それは決して忘れられない体験です。

Ascent between heaven and earth: the Renjo La Pass 🙏 It's one of the three highest passes in the Himalayas at 5360m. We started the ascent on November 13th, 2025, at 5:00 AM, so we weren't walking up through mud, but rather on frozen ice. Due to the amount of snow, we couldn't take the secured route, but instead had to take the direct path up, which was quite strenuous. Finally at the top 🔝 Renjo La greets you not with triumph, but with awe. Lohtse, Makalu, Nupste, Everest—the giants have once again put on a beautiful display and stand still. What a sight! Namaste 🙏 Fanjo

Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,100 meters, the Dochula Pass is one of Bhutan's most scenic and significant mountain passes. Located on the road between Thimphu and Punakha, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the eastern Himalayas, particularly on clear winter mornings when the snow-capped peaks create a stunning backdrop. One of the Dochula Pass's most prominent landmarks is the Druk Wangyal Chortens – a group of 108 memorial stupas erected under the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, to honor the Bhutanese soldiers who lost their lives in the 2003 anti-insurgency operation. Nearby is the Druk Wangyal Lhakhang (temple), built in 2008, a memorial to Bhutan's beloved fourth king and the armed forces, blending contemporary art with traditional Bhutanese architecture.

It's very, very strenuous to hike up there, especially because of the cold, the thin air, and the altitude. But the view is worth it 🤩.

Maybe it has a better view then Poon Hill.

An indescribable feeling to reach the pass.

The highest point of the Annapurna Circuit and also the highest point that can be reached without climbing and without spending a lot of money. We were traveling without a porter or guide. It was a unique experience to cross the pass under our own steam and without assistance.

A wonderful view. Rest and enjoy.
