A good experience of visiting Inidia China Border, you need to take a permit through any local travel operator, it has a rich history of Inidian army. It's on an altitude of 14k feet and you need to climb stairs to visit the final check point. It's closed on Mondays

The view point is just surreal. By that I mean, imagine half of the mountains you see are from India and remaining are in China. You can clearly see the border and sometimes you can even witness the Chinese soldiers and shake their hands. Make sure you are appropriately dressed up otherwise it could really become hard as again it’s around 15000ft above from sea level. Difficulties- High altitude so it’s hard to breathe as less oxygen. What makes it more difficult is the 80-90 stairs that you need to climb to reach to the view point. The surface could be with black ice so ensure you are wearing good snow shoes. Or atleast be mindful of the floor. Suggestions - Get camphor box which helps in breathing. Walk slowly while climbing the stairs and mindful of breathing, you have to breathe consciously. Do not eat anything prior or during the climb. Consume sugar items, it helps
