ChangLa Pass is located between Leh and the Shyok Valley in the Ladakh Range. In the Ladakhi language, “Chang” means “south” and “La” means “pass,” so ChangLa translates to “Pass to the South.” It is also the world’s third-highest mountain pass, and a must-pass route from Leh to Pangong Tso Lake.
Ladakh, due to its geographical location, has numerous high-altitude mountain passes. Driving through these passes offers not only views of snow-capped peaks, moon-like landscapes, and undulating valleys but also adds to the unique experience of traveling on the high-altitude roads of Ladakh.
Currently, it’s peak season on the mountains, and many people stop here for photos. However, it’s recommended not to stay longer than 30 minutes, as the high altitude of 5,360 m can cause headaches. After all, it’s really high up there!

ChangLa Pass-昌拉隘口-海拔 5,360 m
ChangLa Pass 位於列城和什約克河谷之間的拉達克山脈, 「Chang 」 在拉達克語表“南”方, 「La」表“通往”, 就是「通往南方的通道」 之意。
同時，ChangLa 也是從列城至班公措湖必通過的世界上第三高的高山隘口。
拉達克因地理位置有著最多高海拔的高山隘口，搭著車子穿越這些山口，除可欣賞白雪皚皚的山峰、像月世界的地形風貌和起伏的山谷景色外，也增添了在拉達克高山公路旅行的色彩。
目前正值山上大旺季，一堆人會在此拍照，建議不要停留超過30分鐘，不然頭會很痛~ 畢竟 5,360m…那麼高哩~
