Travelling by road during summer from Srinagar to Kargil is an exciting prospect. This is the time when every bit of possible greenery flourishes, producing colourful vistas. Crystal clear streams, streaks of snow on mountain slopes, azure skies and green valley floors, provide a visual treat for an onlooker.
 
Travelling from Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir towards further north in the Kashmir valley, to Kargil in Ladakh, the surrounding terrain presents a traveller with never-ending sights of pristine beauty.
