Kunzam Pass

This is the other point to entry into Spiti, where the road from Manali traversing through Lahaul, enters the valley. 76 km from Kaza Kunzam provides chief access to Lahaul valley by the great kunzam range. The lofty shigri glacier is seen in front in all its grandeur. The crest of the pass has been marked by a chorten  of stones erected years ago. A  temple is built on the top of the pass dedicated to Lord Geypan – the presiding deity of Lahaul. Belief  is every vehicle passing over Kungam pass will have to take a round of this temple to get blessing of the God. The panorama  as viewed from the top of the pass is enthralling and inspiring. The high and mighty Shigri peak can be seen right in front in all its grandeur. There is also another temple which is dedicated to Kali Devi also known as Kunzam Devi. The altitude of this pass is 4551 meters.
