It has an elevation of 13,700 ft and connects Tibetan Buddhist town of Tawang to Dirang and Guwahati. Se La is a critical mountain pass connecting Tawang to the rest of India.
The government of India announced the funding for construction of all-weather Se La transport tunnel in 2018-19 budget. The Prime Minister of India laid the foundation stone on 9th February 2019 for already-announced an all-weather tunnel under Se La which will allow faster troop mobility along the border. Se La tunnel project will take the Border Roads Organization around three years to complete with a cost pegged at Rs 687 crore.
The all - weather tunnel is expected to help impart a much-needed strategic thrust to Indian Army against China. The 12.04 km project, with two tunnels, will provide all-weather connectivity to Tawang and other forward areas. It will reduce the travelling time from Tezpur to Tawang in a major way. The travellers and tourists would be able to avoid the dangerous snow covered Se La top at a height of 13,700 ft.
