Accessible by the Shipki La mountain pass which stands at an altitude of 4,720 meters, it stands on an ancient trade route that linked the Tibetan Platue to the lower regions of the Himalayas and beyond, bringing these regions closer together with influence in dress, language and customs traveling freely.
