THPC Jammu & Kashmir

The High Pass Challenge Jammu and Kashmir Edition

The Routing of our THPC JK Edition especially curated to touch Passes around the Kashmir Valley which were the traditionally access points to the Valley and out of it.

We start on the historic Mughal Route crossing via the Pir Ki Gali or the Pir Panjal Pass. And then in Kashmir we follow the Passes in the Shamsbari which as of today are highly Militarised. And less visited.

Then we hit the Old Silk Route which connected Srinagar with Gilgit via the Gurez Valley. And we try and get onto the Kaobal Gali and use this difficult Pass to get into Ladakh and the Drass Region.

From Drass we drop back into Kashmir via Zoji La, the traditional Pass between Kashmir and Ladakh. We head westwards and do the Margan and Sinthan Passes which connected Kashmir with Kishtwar in the Jammu Division.

And then onto Bhaderwah and go up the Padri Pass which connects this Region with Chamba in Himachal Pradesh. The last Pass would be the Chattargala Pass which connected Doda with Bani and Basohli.

End at Basohli, the place where the famed Pahari Style of Painting originated and lying at a point where Jammu and Kashmir meets Punjab and Himachal.

Its just not an Overland Drive. Its a lesson in the History and Geography of the Mountains as well.
