\"Wari<\/a><\/p>\n

Ladakh is a land of high-altitude passes. Some of these are well known and are frequented by tourists, like Khardung La. But there are a lot of other passes that are not so famous and do not receive that many visitors. Wari La Pass is among one of these.<\/p>\n

What is surprising is that this pass is located between three of the most famous destinations of Ladakh – Leh City, Nubra Valley, and Pangong Tso. It also offers a direct route for traveling from Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake or the other way around.<\/p>\n

Still, not many tourists go this way. Even the local taxi drivers will probably either say no or charge you extra for taking this route. The reason behind that is the challenging nature and steep climb of this pass. A 4X4 SUV is considered the best vehicle for this road and even that can struggle a bit towards the top.<\/p>\n

About Wari La Pass<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wari La is a high-altitude pass in the Ladakh region, situated at an altitude of 17,400 feet. It is one of those lesser-known passes that do not get as much attention. It is located at a distance of about 73 kilometers from Leh, 143 kilometers from Pangong Lake, and 80 kilometers from Diskit in Nubra Valley.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned previously, this road can be used to travel directly between Nubra and Pangong. For more details about this route, please take a look at Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso via Wari La Pass<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you are also planning your journey in the same manner, here is a little information on the current road status of the pass.<\/p>\n
