'''[[Nathu La|Nathu La Pass]]''' is a [[mountain pass]] in the [[Himalayas]] [[mountain range]]s. It is located on the [[India|Indo]]-[[People's Republic of China|China]] border connecting the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Sikkim]] with [[Yadong County]] in [[Tibet Autonomous Region]] of [[People's Republic of China]]. The pass, at 4,508&nbsp;m (14,790&nbsp;ft) above [[mean sea level]], forms part of an offshoot of the ancient [[Silk Road]]. The name ''Nathu'' literally means "listening ears", and ''La'' means "Pass" in [[Classical Tibetan|Tibetan]]. It can also spelled ''Ntula'', ''Natu La'', ''Nathula'', or ''Natula''.<br />
<br />
Nathu La is one of the three trading border posts shared between China and India. Closed after the 1962 [[Sino-Indian War]], the pass was re-opened in 2006 following numerous bilateral trade agreements. The opening bolstered the economy of the region and is expected to play key role in the Sino-Indian trade. The pass is used for export of 29 goods from Indian side and 15 goods from Chinese side. The opening of the pass also shortens the travel distance to important [[Hinduism|Hindu]] and [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] pilgrimage sites. ([[Nathu La|'''more...''']])</div>WikiDwarf
