The Bum La Pass is a significant high-altitude mountain pass located in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India [2]. Situated at an elevation of approximately 15,200 feet (4,633 meters) in the Eastern Himalayas, it lies about 37 km from the town of Tawang [1]. Historically, the pass is notable as a key site during the 1962 Sino-Indian War and was the route used by the Dalai Lama to enter India in 1959 [2]. Currently, it serves as one of the officially agreed Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) points between the Indian Army and the People's Liberation Army of China to maintain border peace [1]. Access to the pass is strictly regulated, requiring an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Arunachal Pradesh and a special permit from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Tawang.
