Tourism Tips

@@Safety: Always check the weather and road conditions of Zoji La Pass before starting your journey. The pass can be narrow and muddy, so hiring an experienced local driver is highly recommended. @@Packing: Carry light woolens for the day and heavy jackets for the night. Since Kargil is a conservative town, dress modestly while visiting local mosques and residential areas. @@Food: Try the local Pabba and Skrew which are traditional flour-based dishes. Also, carry some dry fruits and energy bars as travel between towns can take longer than expected due to terrain. @@Permits: You do not need a special permit to stay in Kargil town, but you need them for Aryan Villages. Keep multiple photocopies of your Aadhar card or Passport handy at all military checkpoints.
