Zingzingbar is a Border Roads Organization road-building camp and tea house way-station situated 18 kilometres (11 mi) from Bara-lacha-la on the Manali to Leh road in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. It is situated at an altitude of around 14,010 feet (4,270 m). The location has temporary shelters and dhabas that can be used by trekkers and tourists for accommodation[1].
Zingzingbar is the proposed south portal of the 16,000 feet (4,900 m) high Bara-lacha-la pass tunnel[2] approximately 175 kilometres (109 mi) from Manali. The north portal of this tunnel is expected to be at Killing Sarai and is expected to reduce the transit time on the avalanche and landslide prone route by up to 2 hrs[3].
