  • Marsimik La or Marsimek La, elevation 5,582 metres (18,314 ft), is a high mountain pass in the Chang-Chemno Range in northern India about 100 km east of Leh, further by road. Swedish adventurer Sven Hedin, who crossed the pass on his third expedition, measured its height as 18,343 feet above sea level. Khardung La is widely, but incorrectly, believed to be the world's highest motorable pass. There are higher motorable passes at Suge La, west of Lhasa, 5,430 m (17,815 feet), and Semo La 5,565 m (18,258 feet), between Raka and Coqen in Central Tibet. Both these elevations are supported by GPS and SRTM evidence and the latter was also measured by the Spanish and supported by the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia. Vehicles have been driven over the 5,582 metres (18,314 ft) Marsimik La, in the Indian Karakoram to the north-east of Khardung La, but it is debatable whether this pass should be considered to be motorable.
  • I'm planning to visit it in July on bike. Fingers are crossed.
