Route and travel time
- Distance
- 164 km by road, one way
- Driving time
- 4.5–5 hours, without long stops
- Route
- NH44 via Banihal and Ramban, then the old road over Batote
The Chenani–Nashri tunnel on NH44 bypasses Patnitop, so the route leaves the highway near Batote for the old road up to the ridge. It adds time but is the only way up.
Patnitop gets snow from December to February; chains may be needed on the ridge road after fresh snowfall.
