The National Highway 1A connects Leh to the Kashmir Valley through the Zojila pass. Option 1, Khyber, is incorrect as it is located in Pakistan and connects Peshawar with the Afghanistan border. Option 3, Nathula, is incorrect as it is located in Sikkim and connects India with China`s Tibet Autonomous Region. Option 4, Karakoram, is incorrect as it is a mountain range in Northern Pakistan, and while it is part of the Greater Himalayas, it does not connect Leh to the Kashmir Valley. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Zojila pass. The Zojila pass is situated at an elevation of 11,575 feet and is a crucial link between Ladakh and the rest of the country, especially during the winter months when it remains covered with snow.
