Kaksang La is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 5.436m (17,834ft) above the sea level located in Leh District, Jammu and Kashmir in India. It’s one of the highest roads of the country. Set high in the northern part of the country, near the Line of Actual Control with China, the road to the summit, also known as Kakasang La, is pretty defiant. Locals claim the road as ‘hell’. It’s probably the highest mountain pass foreign drivers can reach in the country. You can access with just the regular Protected Area Pass/ILP. No other permits are required. The drive is very scenic, with picturesque views of beautiful lakes, mountains and valleys.
