You can find this pass when you are traveling from Manali to Leh or vice versa on the Leh-Manali Highway.

 

Traveler Tips

 

Not only is the Baralacha La pass one of the highest motorable passes, but it is also extremely cold out there. If you are planning to drive your own car or take a bike ride like most of the adventure seekers, make sure you have all the required gears, a well-maintained vehicle, and enough warm clothes. The roads can be pretty steep and rough. So, drive only if you have experience of driving in the mountains.
