Umling La, also spelled Umlung La, isn't your average mountain pass. It's a record-breaker, a titan of the Himalayas, and the undisputed champion of the world's highest motorable roads. Towering at a staggering 19,024 feet (5,799 meters), Umling La holds the Guinness World Record for the highest paved road. Imagine cruising above the clouds, with the thin air biting your cheeks and the vastness of the Himalayas stretching out before you.

Every year, Hemis comes alive with the vibrant Hemis Festival, held in early June. This two-day celebration honors Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, also revered as Guru Rinpoche. The highlight of the festival is the unfurling of a gigantic thangka, a religious tapestry, depicting Padmasambhava. Thousands of devotees gather to witness this spectacular display and participate in the lively masked dances and traditional music performances.
