While the highest and most famed pass is the Khardung La, at a height of 18,380 feet is the one of the best places to see in Ladakh, there are many passes like Zozi La, Namika La and Fotu La on the Srinagar-Leh Highway, Chang La on the way to Pangong Tso and Taglang La, Lachulung La and Nakee La on the Leh-Manali Highway. If you like to take the road less traveled and like to venture off the beaten track, Ladakh has many more high altitude passes to offer like the Pensi La, Marsimik La, Rezang La or Wari La.
