The Kaobal Gali stands at an Elevation of 4167 metres (app 13600 ft) on the main Great Himalayan Range has traditionally connected the Tulail and Gurez Valleys with the Mushkoh Valley in the Drass Region. Interestingly people on both sides of the Pass are Shina and speak Shina language just like their fellow Dardic Shina people in Gilgit. This is a peculiarity as usually when you cross a Pass on the Great Himalayan Range the Culture Language and People change.
Gurez to Drass
A Road which connects Gurez to Drass via the Kaobal Gali. This provides an alternate Route from Kashmir into Ladakh via Gurez instead of the Zoji La but as of now the Road remains Off limits for Civilians and only Military Vehicles are allowed. Presenting some exclusive pics of this beautiful Road and hoping one day its opened for normal Civilian traffic.
