How To Reach Padum Air Strip
How to Reach
By Train: The nearest major railway stations are far away in Jammu Tawi or Udhampur. No rail connection is practically possible for tourists. By Road (Access to Area) The air strip is located adjacent to the main road that connects Padum to Kargil and runs through the village of Pibiting. It is easily reached from the Padum Main Market (approx. 3-5 KMS) by this road.
By Local Transport:
Local Taxi: Hire a local taxi from Padum for a short trip to Pibiting. The driver will know the best viewpoint to see the air strip without encroaching on the restricted area.
Shared Jeep: Irregular shared jeeps or taxis ply the route from Padum to Pibiting and Karsha, which you can use for a nominal fare.
Foot/Cycle: It is an easy 3-5 KMS walk or cycle ride from the Padum town center along the relatively flat road that crosses the plain. This is the most popular, simple, and cheapest way to see the site.
Security Caution: Tourists must maintain a respectful distance from the fenced-off airstrip and the adjacent All India Radio Station, as both are secured and restricted facilities. Do not attempt to enter or climb the fences.
Best to Combine: The trip is often combined with a visit to Pibiting Monastery and Karsha Monastery as they are all on the same side of the Padum plain.
