Answer:

    A V R Public School Jaipur 10th August, 20XX Dear Atul I have just returned from an exciting trip to a remote corner of Sikkim. Our destination was Nathu La Pass, at a height of 14500 feet. This is the land of living yaks and the legendary Yeti. Nathu La Pass is situated on the Indo- Tibetan border. It has been under the control of armed forces. It is however opened to domestic tourists in groups of 8 to 10. Our group was allowed to spend half an hour at the border. We could see the Bhutan watersheds Chumbi Valley, the Jelap la range and the Lungze ridge leading to Cangtok. I can never forget the yak ride at the Tromgo Lake. A yak is just like our buffalo. But whereas the buffalo always looks up, the Yak always looks down. In short, Nathu La, the Roof of Sikkim, presents a beauty of nature that is only to be experienced. Yours affectionately Arpita
