Pele La is the high point of the journey from Western Bhutan to Bumthang...but only in the geographic sense.  It offers the customary junk tourist tat vendor(s), but even that is pretty unenthusiastic, plus the ubiquitous prayer flags flapping in the gale.

Other than that, even the views are unimpressive; the pictures below were taken several miles before the summit and all along the way you will be tempted to stop and admire the spectacular views.
