It is an open trading border post between India and China.
Nathu La connects the Indian state of Sikkim with China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
It is guarded on both sides by Chinese and Indian soldiers.
Nathu La is one of the three open trading border posts between India and China; the other two are in Himachal Pradesh (Shipkila) and Uttarakhand (Lipulekh).
