Captured against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Himalayas, although obscured by the haze that prevented us from seeing the snowcapped high mountains, this photograph beautifully showcases the Druk Wangyal Chortens at Dochu La Pass. The Dochu La Pass is a high mountain pass located on the road that connects Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, to Punakha. Sitting at an elevation of 3,150 meters (10,330 ft), it offers on a clear day excellent views of the Himalayas. Standing tall and proud, the 108 intricately designed stupas create a vibrant and significant display. Set against the backdrop of towering peaks, these chortens hold a profound meaning as a symbol of remembrance for the courageous Bhutanese soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Specifically, they honor the soldiers who lost their lives in the 2003 conflict with Indian insurgents - Druk Wangyal Chortens, Dochu La Pass,  Bhutan
