Description:
Sach Pass is a high altitude mountain pass located in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated at an elevation of 4,420 m (14,500 ft) above sea level, it connects the Pangi tribal valley with the Chamba valley. The pass offers breathtaking views of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar mountain ranges. It is known for its challenging terrain, snow-covered landscapes, and stunning natural beauty. The road to Sach Pass is considered one of the most dangerous roads in India and is only open during the summer months. The pass is a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers.
History:
Sach Pass has historically served as a vital trade route between the Pangi valley and Chamba. For centuries, local communities traversed this treacherous pass to exchange goods and maintain connections with the outside world. Its remote location and challenging terrain kept the Pangi valley relatively isolated, preserving its unique culture and traditions. The pass gained prominence during the British Raj, but the road remained a challenging endeavor. Even today, it remains a test of driving skill and a testament to the region's rugged beauty.
