    The Siachen Glacier lies partway up the latter valley. Built in 1976, it was opened to motor vehicles in 1988 and is a popular expedition route expeditions. Maintained by the Border Roads Organisation, the pass is strategically important to India as it is used to carry essential supplies to the Siachen. Double humped Bactrian camels can still be seen at Hundar.

    Vehicles have been driven over the 5,582 metre 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.
