Ride Through Picturesqu­e Scapes

Jammu & Kashmir

-

From the green meadows and gurgling streams of Sonamarg to the lunar landscape of Leh, this is the road trip of a lifetime. As you leave Srinagar, and drive on to Sonamarg, you run the risk of taking your eyes off the road, and falling under the spell of the surroundin­g beauty. Then, it’s a dramatical­ly altering vista as you head for Zoji La, poised at a height of 11,640 feet, and on to Drass and Kargil, a name etched in our collective memory since the 1999 war. Travel through the windy Namika La, presenting more scenic views, and arrive in Lamayaru, home to one of Ladakh’s oldest gompas. The road to Leh is known for the Hangroo Loops, 18 sharp curves that test your driving skills to lead you to the lovely Leh.
