Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,100 meters, the Dochula Pass is one of Bhutan's most scenic and significant mountain passes.

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.
