Tanglangla is a high mountain pass in Ladakh region of the
Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, it lies at an elevation of
5,328 metres (17,480 ft). The elevation in metres, which is
taken from a local sign, is in agreement with SRTM data. The
sign incorrectly claims 17582 feet, which would be 5359
metres, and incorrectly claims the world’s second highest
motorable pass. It is, however, the second highest motorable
mountain pass in India after Khardung La and is reached via 21
Gata loops. It is located along the Leh-Manali Highway
Tanglang La Pass is regarded as the second highest mountain
pass in Ladakh, it is located in between the snow-clad
mountains of the Great Himalayas. Tanglang La pass cuts
through the Zanskar Range. Icicles hanging from the cliff face
in the shade create an exciting sight while crossing the pass.
