It connects the Kullu Valley and Lahaul Valley with the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. The pass offers majestic views of the barren landscape of Spiti Valley along with a panorama of mountains like Chandrabhaga and Spiti ranges. The pass is known for its terrain which offers a challenging yet thrilling experience for adventurers. Traditionally, travelers stop at the temple of Goddess Kunzum Devi here to pay their respects and seek blessings for a safe journey. The region's stark beauty is enhanced by the sheer simplicity of the natural surroundings, dotted with fluttering prayer flags that add a touch of color. Kunzum Pass is often on the itinerary of motorcyclists and trekking enthusiasts exploring the region's remote vistas. However, visitors should be aware that the pass is only open from June to October due to heavy snowfall during the remaining months, making it inaccessible.
