Kunzum in Summer: When the Pass Comes Alive

Kunzum Pass remains snowbound for most of the year, but come June, it transforms into a vibrant landscape of color and life. The melting snow reveals wildflowers carpeting the slopes, while travelers, bikers, and photographers flock to witness the grandeur. The clear skies offer uninterrupted views of the Bara-Sigri Glacier—the second largest in the Himalayas. Despite the thin air and biting wind, summer brings a sense of celebration to Kunzum. It’s a brief window when nature allows travelers to cross, capturing moments that last a lifetime before the snow closes the pass once again.
