Kunzum Pass provides chief access to Lahaul valley by the great Kunzum range.
The lofty Bara Shigri glacier is seen in front in all its grandeur.
The crest of the pass has been marked by a chorten of stones erected ages ago.
Recently a temple has been built on the top dedicated to "lord Gyephang' - the chief deity of Lahaul.
The belief is that, every vehicle passing over Kunzum pass will have to take a round (Parikarama) of this temple to get blessing of the God.
Another interesting feature of the stone image of the Lord is that offerings in the from of cash (coin or currency notes) will stuck to the image, if devotee is acceptable to the Lord.
Some people believe that this temple is of goddess Durga.
