Baralacha La Pass

Straddling the Zanskar and Pir Panjal ranges at 4,890 meters (16,040 ft), Baralacha La is a legendary mountain pass along the Manali-Leh Highway where mountain ridges and glacial runoffs from Lahaul, Spiti, and Ladakh converge. Flanked by the emerald waters of Suraj Tal and rugged snowfields, it delivers one of the most exhilarating high-pass crossings in the Himalayas.
