Solution

The correct option is C Shipki La pass

Shipki La is a mountain pass and border post on the India-China border. The river Sutlej, which is called Langqên Zangbo in Tibet, enters India (from Tibet) through this pass. It is an offshoot of the ancient Silk Road and is one of the highest motorable passes in the world at 5669m (18,599 feet).
It is located in Kinnaur district in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India, and Tibet, China. The pass is India's second border post for trade with Tibet after Nathu La in Sikkim, and Lipulekh in Uttarakhand.
