High in the remote heights of the Kumaon Himalaya lies a mountain pass that has shaped history, faith, and geopolitics for centuries—Lipulekh Pass.
Located at the sensitive tri-junction of India, China, and Nepal, this high-altitude gateway is far more than a physical crossing. It is a living corridor of trade, a sacred path of pilgrimage, and a strategic frontier in modern geopolitics.
