Shingo La
Shingo La (also known as Shinku La) is a mountain pass in India, on the state boundary between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. It connects the Lahaul region of Himachal Pradesh with the Zanskar region of Ladakh. Nimmu-Padum-Darcha road, a strategic road with the unidirectional-twin-tube total-4-lane Shingo La Tunnel which is expected to be completed by 2025 will reduce the Manali to Kargil distance by 522 km, is being built on the pass to ensure an all-weather route to Ladakh, as an alternative to the Leh–Manali Highway.
