Mana Pass, Mountain pass between India and Tibet in Uttarakhand, India.

Mana Pass is a high mountain pass on the India-China border in the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, 52 km north of Badrinath in Uttarakhand. A well-graded gravel-dirt road built by the Border Roads Organisation reaches 5,610 m on the Indian side, 250 m west of the 5,632 m low point. The pass is the source of the Saraswati River, which trickles through small ponds toward Lake Deo Tal three km southwest.

Portuguese Jesuits António de Andrade and Manuel Marques were the first Europeans to cross this pass into Tibet during their 1624 expedition. This early journey opened a new route for exchange between Western and Eastern regions.

The name Mana comes from Manibhadra Ashram, the old name of Mana town, linked to the Manaswini Peak and the goddess Manaswini, sister of Manasa Devi. Tibetan Buddhist teacher Padmasambhava, called Guru Rinpoche, crossed here around 900 AD between India and Tibet, and the pass served pilgrims and traders heading to Kailash and Manasarovar.

The road beyond Badrinath is an extension of NH-7 (old NH-58) and is subject to landslides, so allow for delays. The pass lies 52 km north of Badrinath and 47 km north of Mana, inside the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The Indian approach climbs to 5,610 m, 250 m west of the 5,632 m low point.

The road was built between 2005 and 2010 by the Border Roads Organization and ranks among the world's highest vehicle-accessible mountain passes. This engineering project overcomes extreme elevation and harsh conditions that make it a technical milestone.
