Route and travel time
- Distance
- 201 km by road, one way
- Driving time
- 5–6 hours, without long stops
- Route
- NH1 via Sonamarg, Zojila pass and Drass
Beyond Sonamarg the road climbs the Zojila pass on a narrow, often unpaved track with steep drops, then descends into the bare landscape of Drass — among the coldest inhabited places in the country — and on to Kargil.
The Zojila closes for winter, usually from around December until it is cleared in spring. Local sightseeing in Ladakh is reserved for Ladakh-registered taxis; we drop you in Kargil and can arrange onward local transport.
Carry original photo ID for every adult; checkpoints on this road are routine.
