Taglang Pass (Taglang La)

Ladakh, known as the ‘country of high passes,’ is home to the Taglang Pass (Taglang La), which stands at an impressive altitude of 17,480 feet (5,328 meters) in the Zanskar Range. This pass is a significant feature along the Leh–Manali Highway (NH3), stretching for several miles and marked by colorful Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags fluttering at its summit. Travelers on the challenging yet scenic overland route to Leh will traverse this high pass, experiencing the thin, crisp air and the stark, rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape.
