"The crest of the cross-roads." Bara is the Landl-Tibetan word for cross-road: the name refers to the roads to Shigri, Spiti, Kardong, and Ladak, which meet here. In Tibetan proper we .could find no word like "Bara," either in use amongst the natives or in the dictionaries.
Lâcha seems to be used here as a dialectical substitution for La-tse, the crest or top of a pass.. Some few of the men we heard mention this name pronounced it Bara Latse, and those who knew to write invariably wrote it Latse.
