Famous mountain passes in India!

Did you know that some of the world’s highest and most strategic roads lie in India’s mountain passes? From the icy heights of Ladakh to the lush valleys of Sikkim, India’s famous mountain passes have shaped history, trade, and security for centuries.

Take Nathu La Pass, once part of the ancient Silk Route, now connecting India with China. Or the Khardung La Pass, one of the world’s highest motorable roads, crucial for the Indian Army’s access to Siachen. Then there’s the Rohtang Pass, linking Manali to Lahaul-Spiti—famous among tourists but also key for the Atal Tunnel.

These passes are more than just roads—they’re lifelines, guarding our borders, connecting cultures, and challenging the limits of human engineering.

In this video, we explore the most iconic mountain passes of India, their historical and geopolitical importance, and how they impact modern infrastructure and national security.
