Discover Kargil
About the destination
Kargil is a historic mountain town and a practical overnight stop between Kashmir and Leh, but it also deserves time for its surrounding valleys and route scenery. The road approaches through rugged mountains, river corridors, and high passes, making it an important bridge between the green Kashmir side and Ladakh's dry plateau. Travellers can use Kargil for the Srinagar-Leh highway, local market walks, war memorial visits near Drass, and onward routes toward Suru Valley or Zanskar.
