Chele La, Bhutan conquered in January 2015 by Aritra Sanyal

Indian Roadie, Aritra Sanyal, an youngster in his early 20s is a resident of Burdwan, West Bengal and a 7th semester B.Tech (Computer Science) student at Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology, Kolkata. His schooling is from Sri Ramakrishna Saradapith School. He rides a Hero Karizma R bike whenever he is at his hometown in Burdwan.

Days 1 and 2: Three friends, including Aritra, in individual bikes left Burdwan in January 2015, rode on NH60, NH34 and NH31 to reach Jaigaon (Indian side of the border with Bhutan).

Day 3: From Phuentsoling rode straight to Thimpu.

Day 4: After getting all the permissions from Thimpu for riding to restricted places, the three bikers rode towards Paro.

Day 5: Started early morning from Paro. There was heavy ice formation on the road after a few kms. Two of his mates could not make it to Chele La because they slipped on the slushy road and aborted the journey ahead. One of them even suffered a serious knee injury.
Only Aritra could make it to ‪Chele La‬ pass (3988 mtrs ASL), which is about 40 kms from Paro.
Haa Valley was just a few kms away, but Aritra too couldn't reach there because of paucity of time.
Aritra and his two friends, then directly road back to Phuentsholing. They exited Bhutan and stayed in Jaigaon for the night.

Day 6: They had planned to ride back to Burdwan. However, since there was an injured rider, they had to make arrangements to ship his bike back to Burdwan with the help of GATI, the logistics company. They changed their plan and stayed back in Siliguri for the night.

Day 7: Started from Siliguri and headed straight back to Burdwan via Malda (NH34 & NH60).

Aritra says that he will make a try for the same location once again, but with sufficient protection viz. ice-chains or ropes.
