	Inflated Elevation of Khardung La Road Pass
		Khardung La is a high motorable pass north east of Leh in the Indian Himalaya.
		http://www.bonington.com/argan_news/2708.htm "we drove over the 5,300 metre high Khardung La from Leh into the Shyok Valley, the highest road pass in India and one of the highest in the world".
		It seems to me to be unlikely that Bonington would report an elevation 300m lower than the official elevation, implicitly suggesting that it is not THE highest road pass in the world, without being fairly sure of his information.

	So what's the deal with the Khardung La? - Thorn Tree Forum - Lonely Planet
		The road is nowhere near the 18,380 feet/5602m the indians claim it is. In fact, it's lower than the Tanglang La which is the last pass on the road in from Manali, which by my reckoning puts it outside the top ten highest roads.
		It's nothing new that Khardung la is lower than 5.602m.
		Khardung La is southeast of Nia La, and it has solid contours.

		Hard long climb to the Baralacha La Pass but the rewards are great as you travel through this wild and scenic country.
		We start by ascending the second highest pass on the Manali-Leh highway up to Lachalang La. The road here is likely to be the worst of the trip with a distinct lack of tarmac, it's very gravelly and there are many loose stones.
		When we climb over some of the high passes, you are likely to experience some of the minor symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness (headache, mild nausea, loss of appetite) until your body adjusts to the elevation.

		Just under 40 km north of Leh by road (and a mere 15 km as the crow flies) on the way to the Nubra Valley is the Khardung La, which claims to be the world's highest road pass at 18,380 ft (5,602 m).
		It is probably only 5359 m in reality (see also the brief discussion and links on my home page), making its grandiose claim somewhat debateable.

	Highest Motorable Pass
		Contrary to general public opinion, misinformed by Guinness World Records, a local indicator and countless websites, the world's highest motorable road pass is NOT the "5682m" or "5602m" Khardung La, NE of Leh in the Indian Himalaya.
		There is surely a higher motorable pass than Khardung La, by any definition, at Suge La, 100km west of Lhasa.
		According to a Chinese source, a jeep has been driven up a 5760m pass shown on road maps at Bodpo La, 32.3°/79.0° (if you can read Chinese see here), but access to this area for non-Chinese nationals may be restricted.

		That in short was my day-trip over Khardung La (Khardung Pass) to the Nubra Valley - up, down, up, down across the highest moterable road in the world and to altitudes which are 2/3 of what a 747 cruises at!
