Option 3 : Karakoram Pass

The correct answer is Karakoram Pass.

  • The Karakoram Pass is a mountain pass that connects China and India at a height of 18,176 feet (5,540 metres).
  • On the old caravan route between Leh, Ladakh, and Yarkand, in the Tarim Basin, it is the highest pass.
  • In Mongolic, "Karakoram" literally translates as "Black Gravel."
  • On the approaches to the pass, there is essentially no vegetation.
  • The Ladakh area of India and the Xinjiang autonomous region of China are separated by the Karakoram pass.
  • It also plays a major geographic role in the dispute between Pakistan and India over control of the Siachen Glacier area immediately to the southwest of the pass.
  • The Simla Agreement, which was signed by India and Pakistan in 1972, led to this predicament since the treaty neglected to include the last 100 km or so of the cease-fire line from the end of the Line of Control to the border with China.

  • Khyber pass:
    • On Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, is the mountain pass known as Khyber Pass.
    • It travels across a portion of the Spin Ghar mountains to connect the town of Landi Kotal with the Valley of Peshawar at Jamrud.
    • It has been an important commerce route connecting Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent since it was a component of the historic Silk Road, and it has served as a key military choke point for the many nations that controlled it.
  • Zojila pass:
    • In the Ladakh region of the Indian union territory, Zoji La is a high mountain pass in the Himalayas.
    • The pass, which is situated in the Dras, links the Indus Valley to the east with the Dras and Suru valleys to the northeast and the Kashmir Valley to the west.
  • Pangsau Pass:
    • On the boundary between India and Myanmar, Pangsau Pass is located at the peak of the Patkai Hills.
    • From the Assam plains, the pass provides one of the simplest routes into Burma.
    • It has the name of the nearest Burmese community, Pangsau, which is located 2 kilometres to the east of the pass.
