India holds the record for the world's highest motorable pass at Umling La (19,024 ft / 5,798 m) in Ladakh. Other extreme high-altitude passes include Khardung La (17,582 ft) in India, Khunjerab Pass (15,397 ft) in Pakistan, and Trail Ridge Road (12,183 ft) in the United States.
Seasonal winter closures in the Northern Hemisphere (European Alps, US Rockies & Sierra Nevada, Canadian Rockies, and Himalayas) generally take effect between mid-October and November after heavy snowpack begins. Passes typically reopen after snowplowing operations in late May or early June.
