Jelep La, located in East Sikkim, is a high-altitude mountain pass at an elevation of approximately 14,390 feet (4,390 meters). It connects Sikkim in India to the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and has historically been a significant trade route, especially during the British era. The name "Jelep La" translates to "The Lovely Level Pass," reflecting its relatively easier terrain compared to other Himalayan passes.
