Kang La is a high altitude mountain pass at an altitude of 16373 ft, which lies in between the Kang peak on the left and an unnamed peak on its right, among the remote and rocky terrains of the Sikkim – Nepal border. Although this pass has faded into oblivion, once upon a time it used to be a part of an important ancient salt route.
