Kargil Taxi Union Rates 2023 – Updated Rate List

Below is the most recent list of Kargil Taxi Union Rates. The list below contains rates for renting a taxi from Kargil for traveling toward Srinagar, Zanskar, and Batalik routes.

The images of the rate list below are not too clear but if save it to your hard disk and zoom in, you will be able to read it clearly. I will also add the rates for some of the common routes here in the post as a quick reference.

The most important thing to remember while renting a taxi in this region is that the local unions do not allow taxis outside of their district to ply their routes.

So any taxi rented from Srinagar cannot be used for sightseeing in Zanskar and Ladakh. Kargil taxis cannot be used for sightseeing in Kashmir and Ladakh.

Similarly, Ladakh rented taxis cannot be used for sightseeing in Zanskar and Kashmir. For example, if you rented a taxi from Kargil, it can only drop you at Leh city and Srinagar but you cannot use the same cab for visiting local tourist attractions in either of these places.

Similarly, if you arrived in Kargil in a Leh or Srinagar registered cab, it is only good enough for dropping you at Kargil. If you want to travel toward Zanskar Valley, you will have to rent a local taxi from Kargil.

I agree that it sounds like an expensive affair and an unnecessary hassle for tourists but that is the way it is out here. There is no other option or way to work around this.

Taxi Services in Kargil

There are three types of Taxis available for rent in Kargil and their fares are different.

• XUV and Innova fall in Category 1 and are the most expensive of the lot.
• The second category consists of Xylo, Scorpio, Tavera, and Qualis. The fare for this category is slightly less than the first Category.
• The cheapest taxis available are Sumo and Bolero

There are no hatchbacks and Sedans available for rent. Even though the fares for these SUVs are different, the margin is not really huge and they will cost you almost the same.

Helpful Tips

50% of the total fare must be paid in advance in long routes like Manali, Srinagar, and Padum. If the taxi is used for more than the specified days to the destination, additional charges will be Rs. 2503 for a full day and Rs. 1250 for half day. A full day here means 8 hours and 4 hours as a half day.

Kargil Taxi Union Rates List – Conclusion

I hope the information above on Kargil Taxi Union Rates was of help. An alternate choice to private taxis in this area is shared cabs which will be less comfortable but will also cost far less.

If you were traveling in a group of 5 or 6 people then rent a private cab or else board a shared cab. If you have any questions, you can ask in the comments section below. You can also contact me on Instagram to chat with me or subscribe to my YouTube channel and ask a question there.
