midway between the alpine valleys of Kashmir, and the fertile
reaches of the Indus valley and Ladakh. The region is politically part of India,
ethnically part of Baltistan and geographically and integral part of Ladakh.
Geographically, there is little doubt that one has crossed the Himalayan
watershed. The steep barren hills now stretch to the snow line. As the snows
melt, the waters flow freely down into the heavily irrigated valleys. Here
Tibetan-style settlements thrive. Whitewashed mud and stone houses contrast with
deep-green barley fields.
Day 13: Kargil to Srinagar
Drive the taxi toward Srinagar, by passing the Zoji-la and
picturesque Sonamarg, entering to the Kashmir valley.
Drass: Drass 3230 metres, 60kms west of Kargil
on the road to Srinagar, are a small township lying in the centre of a valley of
the same name. It has become famous as the second coldest inhabited place in the
world by virtue of the intense cold that descends upon the valley along with
repeated snowfall during winter. Winter temperature is sometimes known to
plummet to less than 40 degree Celsius. During the spring and summer, however
the valley around the township becomes very picturesque as the gently undulating
hillsides turn into lush green pastures splashed with a variety of fragrant wild
flowers. Its inhabitants are mainly of Darad stock, an Aryan race believed to
have originally migrated to the high valleys of the Western Himalayas from the
Central Asian steppes. They speak Shina which, unlike the Tibetan-originated
Ladakhi dialects spoken elsewhere in Ladakh region, belong to the Indo-European
linguistic family. Their ancestral sport, Horse Polo, which the Darads play with
particular zeal, resembles our modern polo. The Drass vallley starts from the
base of the Zojila pass, the Himalayan gateway to Ladakh. For centuries its
inhabitants are known to have negotiated this formidable pass even during the
most risky period in the autumn or early spring, when the whole sector remains
snowbound and is subject to frequent snow storms, to transport trader's
merchandise across and the to help stranded travelers to traverse it. By virtue
of their mastery over the pass they had established a monopoly over the carrying
trade during the heydays of the Pan-Asian. A hardy people enduring with
fortitude the harshness of the valley's winter, the inhabitants of Drass can
well be described as the guardians of Ladakh's gateway.
Day 14 : Srinagar, Local sight seeing
Dal Lake: Much of Dal Lake is maze of intricate waterways
rather than a simple body of open water. The lake is divided into Gagribal,
Lokut Dal and Bod Dal by a series of causeways. Dal Gate, at the city end of the
lake, controls the flow of the lake water into the Jhelum River canal.
Hazratbal Mosque: This shiny, modern mosque is
on the north west shore of Dal Lake. The mosque enshrines hair of the prophet,
but to nonbelievers it is most interesting for its stunningly beautiful setting
on the shores of the lake with snow capped peaks as backdrop.
Shalimar Bagh: Set some distance back from the lake but
reached by a small canal, the Shalimar gardens were built for Nur Jahan, light
of the world, by her husband Jehangir in1616. During the Mughal period the
topmost of the four terraces was reserved for the emperor and the ladies of the
court.
Day 15 : Srinagar to Jammu
On the Srinagar to Jammu route are the hill resorts of Batote,
Panitop and Kud, before Jammu region tourists will move through about 3 km long
tunnel Jawarhar Tunnel. On the way tourists can visit the famous shrine of
