Tourists Spots Of Lahaul
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. |
