Namika La (

Srinagar-Leh highway.[2]

Namika La is one of two high passes between

Kargil and Leh. The other is the even higher Fotu La Pass.[1]

The western approach to the pass is via the Wakha Rong valley, making a detour to a waterless branch valley of it above the village of

Mulbekh. To the east of the pass is another branch valley (Saraks Lungpa) of the Sangeluma river valley in the vicinity of Bodh Karbu.[3]
