Zoji La is a high mountain pass in Indian Occupied Kashmir, located on the Indian National Highway 1D between Srinagar and Leh in the western section of the Himalayan mountain range. Though often referred to as Zojila Pass in the foreign press, the correct English translation is Zoji Pass or simply Zojila, since the suffix 'La' itself means pass in several Himalayan languages.The usage of the word "La" can also be seen in the Khardung La , Fotu La , Namika La and Pensi La etc. In modern-day North Indian languages, 'La' and 'Darra' are both used interchangeably to mean a mountain pass.
