At the top of the Tinkar valley near the Tibet border is the Tinkar Pass (5,258 m), which provides a trading route for the Byansis of the region for the Tibetan trading centre Burang.[3][4][5] However, the Tinkaris are said to prefer the Lipulekh Pass across the border in Indian territory due to its higher volume.[6] Nepal has ongoing claims to the Lipulekh Pass, as part of the Kalapani territory.
