border checkpoint, border outpost
Shipki La is more of a spur than a pass, as one side (N) of it plunges straight down to the Satluj about a 1000 mtrs below.
The cloud shrouded peak is of the south face of the Rock Demon better known as Reo Pargial I (22,280 ft). The Satluj thatius seen in a photograph is in Tibet flowing below the Drongmar ridge, which turns the Pare chu into India to meet the Spiti at Sumdo near Shugar.
The pass is India's second border post for trade with Tibet after Nathu La in Sikkim, and Lipulekh in Nepal. The pass is close to town of Khab. Currently, the border is used only for small-scale local trade across the border.
