Namikala Pass

About Namikala Pass

‘Land of the Passes’ as it is said - Ladakh is blessed with a number of beautiful and attractive passes. This is perhaps one sole reason why the endurance traveller always seeks for adventure in these regions.

Namikala Pass, or Namika Pas, is a high mountain pass located at a height of 3,700 meters along the Srinagar-Leh Highway. It is famous among the mountain passes of Ladakh because it is one of the highest passes between Leh and Kargil.

The primary attraction here is the landscape which is typical of the region, with brown mountains which are cut by serpentine trails. It is a good place to stop & enjoy some photography.
