	Mountain pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Topographically, a pass has the general form of a saddle between two mountains (the elevation as a function of two position coordinates is mathematically a saddle point).
		Passes may be very short, consisting of steep slopes to the top of the pass, or valleys of many kilometers, whose highest point is only identifiable by surveying.
		There are thousands of named passes around the world; some are familiar names, such as the Great St. Bernard Pass (2,473 m) in the Alps, the Khyber Pass (1,027 m) between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the Khardung La (5,359 m) in Jammu and Kashmir, India.

		The snow that seals the passes leading to Leh, Ladakh's capital, is only one of many oppressors in the former kingdom's eternal struggle to maintain its identity.
		Traveling to the next valley north, the Nubra, requires driving a wretched track through the Khardungla Pass -- which, at 18,380 feet, ranks as the world's highest motorable road.
		Surveying the valley from the pass leading to Leh, it is hard to regard Ladakh as anything but an arid moonscape: tan soil rising to buff dirt mountains melding into the white snow, and from there into a cobalt sky unhazed by moisture.

		According to a Chinese source, a jeep has been driven up a 5760m pass at Bodpo La, 32.3°/79.0° (if you can read Chinese see here), and there may be an even higher motorable pass over the Nyainqentanghla at Gorun La, 5910m at 30°17' 90°15'.
		Still, Khardungla Pass is definitely higher than 5250m or even 5305m, so this widely reproduced report, reproduced by the Sydney Morning Herald from Sweden's Dagens Nyheter, about a record breaking motorcycle ride up to 5250m, is exposed as misinformation.

		'The Khardungla Frog'- just before one reaches Khardungla Pass, the highest motorable pass in the world at 18380 feet, there comes a rock; a very unique rock so to say.
		The rock is about 3-4 feet (approx) of the ground and is approx 10 odd kms before Khardungla.
