Takling La (Pass)
This pass was initially used as a trade route between Spiti and Ladakh and was popular throughout the 19th century. Over the years, it diminished in use. In 1993, Romesh Bhattacharjee led a group of students from Delhi through this pass. According to Bhattacharjee, many points along the trail serve as the passage across the ridge known as Takling La (Pass).
