Taglangla Pass

Soaring to an elevation of 5,328 meters (17,480 ft) across the Zanskar Range, Taglang La is the highest mountain pass on the classic Manali-Leh Highway. Guarded by prayer flag shrines and commanding sweeping vistas over the More Plains on one side and the Indus basin on the other, crossing this high-altitude col provides an exhilarating milestone for overland adventurers.
