Mountain passes (called La in archaic Tibetan) connect one valley from another via a high. often glaciated gully through a mountain range. They offer the quickest and often the most picturesque way of commuting from one valley to the next. Most of these passages lie in the 4500-5000 meter range and offer amazing views and opportunities to climb peaks flanking the pass. For example Ali Malik Peak can be climbed when crossing the Burji La, and unclimbed Thalle Peak can be climbed as a side-trip from Thalle La.
