Changla Pass
Changla Pass is one of the highest motorable mountain passes in the world, located at an altitude of approximately 17,590 feet (5,360 meters). It lies on the route from Leh to Pangong Lake and is the third-highest motorable road globally.
Named after Saint Changla Baba, the pass is not just a gateway but an experience in itself. As you ascend, you’ll witness dramatic changes in landscape—from barren mountains to snow-covered peaks and icy winds. A small temple dedicated to Changla Baba sits at the top, where many travelers stop for a quick prayer and photo.
Despite its rugged terrain and chilly winds, Changla offers unmatched views of the Himalayas, and the drive is a highlight of the Pangong Lake journey.
Note: Due to high altitude, travelers are advised to spend limited time at the pass and stay hydrated.
