Script error: No such module "Infobox multi-lingual name".

Cho La or Cho-la (Chinese: 卓拉山口) is a mountain pass in the Chola range of the Himalayas. It connects the Indian state of Sikkim with China's Tibet Autonomous Region. It is situated around four miles to the north-west of Nathu La.[1]

The pass was the scene of a clash between Chinese and Indian troops on 1 October 1967.[2]

The road is inaccessible during the colder half of the year.[3] On the Chinese side, there is a border guard outpost at 4,783 metres (15,692 ft) above sea level. Road to the outpost was repaved in 2016.[4]
