There is a helipad on the ascent towards Sach pass from Bairagarh of Himachal Pradesh.

The pass is open from June or early July[3] to mid October.

It is the shortest and toughest route from Chamba to the Killar (170 km) and was newly constructed.

1998 Chamba massacre also took place at Satrundi & Kalaban when 35 Hindus and some buddhist, mostly labourers, were shot down by terrorists, and 11 were injured.

With the completion of this road (Sach Pass) the distance from Pathankot to Leh via Saach pass has been reduced to 670 km while the distance from Pathankot to Leh via Manali is 800 km (497 mi).
