Srinagar to Leh Road Trip
The Scenic Gateway to Ladakh
Why Choose the Srinagar Route?
The Srinagar-Leh Highway (NH 1) is often called the "Golden Route" for a reason. Unlike the rugged and rapid ascent of the Manali route, this highway offers a gradual climb, making it the #1 choice for families and first-time visitors to prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).
Starting from the lush green valleys of Kashmir, you witness a dramatic shift in landscape—from the golden meadows of Sonamarg to the cold desert of Drass. This route is not just a drive; it's a journey through history, passing the iconic Kargil War Memorial.
