The correct matching of the mountain passes with their respective heights is as follows:

- Rohtang Pass: A vital link between the Kullu Valley and Lahaul-Spiti in the Pir Panjal Range, its height is 3,978 metres.
- Bara-lacha La: Situated in the Zanskar range, it connects Lahaul in Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh. Its height is approximately 4,850 metres (though often cited as 4,890m in some sources).
- Banihal Pass: Located in the Pir Panjal Range of Jammu and Kashmir, it connects the Kashmir Valley to the outer Himalayas at 2,832 metres.
