In this post, I will provide a detailed explanation of the road from Kargil to Padum, the route you take to travel to Zanskar Valley from the Srinagar Leh highway. It is a 230 km long stretch that starts from Kargil, travels through the Suru Valley, and ends at Padum in Zanskar.<\/p>\n

This road is open only for about 6 months in a year, from May to October.\u00a0 In winters the only way in and out of Zanskar is a hazardous walk along the frozen Zanskar River to the town of Nimmu.<\/p>\n

There is one high altitude pass en route, Pensi La. This however is more of an easier pass. The climb is gradual and you will barely notice that you are actually driving up a high-altitude pass. Between Kargil and Pesi La is Suru Valley. Once you cross the pass and start driving down, you would have entered the Zanskar Region.<\/p>\n
