Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain pass Cho La, also transliterated as Tro La, is a mountain pass across the Chola Mountains in Dege County, Garze Prefecture, Sichuan, China. In Mandarin Chinese, it is known as Qu'er Pass (Шаблон:Zh). The pass reaches a height of Шаблон:Convert and may be snow covered year-round. The pass is an important link between the town of Derge and the rest of Sichuan Province. Historically, it was part of a trade route between Tibet and China through the Kingdom of Derge in Kham.[1] The western flank of the pass is drained by the Zhil Chu (Шаблон:Zh) and the eastern flank is drained by the Tro Chu (Шаблон:Zh). Yihun Lhatso, a glacial-fed lake, is located to the east of the pass.[2]

A tunnel constructed under the Chola Mountains now bypasses the mountain pass and is the world's highest vehicular tunnel.[3] Construction of the tunnel was completed in 2016.[4]
