Bara-lacha-la (also known as Bara-lacha Pass, el. 5045 m./16,400 ft.) is a high mountain pass connecting Lahaul district in Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir.

It is on National Highway connecting Manali and Leh. The Bhaga River (a tributary of the Chandrabhaga or Chenab) originates from Surya taal (the lake of the Sun god), which is situated a couple of kilometers away from the pass towards Manali. The other major tributary of the Chandrabhaga, the Chandra also originates from glacier in this region. There is a trekking route from Bara Laacha La to Chandra Taal (the lake of the Moon god) which is situated by the bank of Chandra River in the Spiti District.
