One of the two Bhotia doors out of Garhwal into western Tibet, above 5,000 m at the head of the Dhauliganga.
Salt, borax, wool and goats come down; grain, cloth and sugar go up. Open at best from July to September and worked by the Bhotia families of the valley below, who winter in the low hills and go up with the melt (the campaign board).
