      pass across the Himalayas in the Indian-held part of Jammu and Kashmir state, in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. Situated at an elevation of 11,580 feet (3,529 m), Zoji Pass carries the only road leading from the Vale of Kashmir eastward to Leh, in Ladākh district, and on to Tibet. Heavily forested, the pass is the lowest in the western axis of the Himalayas but is extremely precipitous on the south side.
