so Kunzum pass is the gateway to Spiti
from Kulu &
Lahaul. After crossing
Rohtang pass and driving
20-kms, one has to turn right from Gramphoo. While going to this pass, the
panoramic view of Bara-Sigri glacier, known as the second longest glacier
in the world, is enthrilling and inspiring.
There
is a temple at the top of this pass dedicated to Goddess Durga. After
seeing this pass one can drive to Batal for a night stay in the Rest
House. The view from the top is breathtaking. On one side is the Spiti
valley and to the other are numerous Chandra-Bhaga range peaks.
