THRUMSHING LA (Bhutan) 3744m Shangri La is a fictional place, but if there is a real place that is close to it then that has to be the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. The road from west to east across the country was only built late in the 20th century and is rarely travelled by westerners. Between 16th and 26th February 2008 sixteen Australians (15 muggles and 1 cacher) on ten Royal Enfield motorcycles made the west to east journey along this road. The highest point on the road is Thrumshing La, listed as 3750m, but I only made it 3744m. That's a personal high point for me.
