Zingzingbar is a Border Roads Organization road-building camp and tea house way-station situated 25km (16miles) from Darcha on the Manali to Leh road in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. It is situated at an altitude of around 14010feet. 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 Bara-lacha-la tunnel,[2] situated approximately 125km (78miles) from Manali. The north portal of this tunnel is expected to be at Keylong Sarai. The tunnel will reduce the transit time on the avalanche and landslide prone route by up to 2 hrs.[3]
