Sach Pass located at a height of about 4414 meters (14,478 feet) from the sea level. Sach Pass is most frequently used by the local people, officials serving in Pangi and also by the shepherds. There is a motorable road across Sach Pass, and is in good shape. Every step is a ritual in this valley, travelers continue their ascent in silence listening to their heartbeats as the surroundings are so majestic and overwhelming that one feels guilty of breaking the sublime silence. The presiding deity of this valley, Bhagwati, disapproves of any noise within her domain. At the top of the Pass, vision extends to the rivers of the plain to the south. Limitless charm beholds the eye on the top.
