THE BEAUTIFUL DRIVE ACROSS THE JAMMU-SRINAGAR HIGHWAY.

More often people coming for darshan at Vaishnodevi shrine, makes their way to Srinagar (Kashmir Valley )by road( NH-1A).....either they opt for a package trip or go in for a bus travel.... But I  ask all those going thru' my blog ,to make a customized plan for travelling in this region & try to hire a smaller vehicle-car/SUV's to travel across.............. as the travel aswell the locations are awesomely beautiful & one might feel sad if they cann't stop ,once a while on the highway passing across the Pirpanjal.....Bus travel ,might make U tired & sleepy...instead, look out & enjoy the beauty of the nature at its best.
    Though its 300+kms journey across ,but it 'll take a whole day to travel across...moreover, as the 4 laning work is on , it might take more time to drive thru'......
The highway passing thru' Udhampur.

The beautiful KUD town.

Near Patnitop crossing.

    The journey begins from Jammu -bypass....after Nagrota...it takes onto Udhampur........... From there,its KUD town( famous for its patisa sweets) & than Patnitop crossing.....as one reaches Peerah( should try out Rajma-chawl,with deshi ghee) at local dhabas...lunch are always kept ready.....After that ,the roads takes on the high mountain passes of Pirpanjal & U can see Chenab river making deep gorges as it flows through................Next comes RAMBAN...The beauty of nature is at its best here...Its a pictureques locale & cameras cannot stop clicking ,as should be ready ahead.Soon the Jawahar-tunnel begins....&as one crosses thru' ,to the other-side, its another world altogether...Unless U see yourself, u cannot believe .....Its one of my most loved travel across India..... & the photos will speak for itself.
After crossing off from Peerah
