Appreciate the beauty on the way
Zojila Paas is the last and most beautiful point if you opt for 3-4 spots visit except Kargil.The road is purely hilly, narrow and stiff.But don’t look at road, instead enjoy the surroundings.The most scenic place among popular tourist spots in Kashmir.You can see the fish pond, last village, Amarnath Yatra stating point all from your cab.Stop anywhere, depending on driver and take as much photos you can. But do these activities on your return journey, as you cannot predict the weather condition at Zojila paas.It may spoil your trip. Neither any eatery nor any type of shops on whole way upto zero point. So carry water and other eatables with you.There is a small war memorial at zero point in Zojila paas. A small hilltop covered with snow add to its beauty.

Super!!!!!
It was a fantastic ride in the mountains; the view was amazing and be prepared for the challenge of hills. Make sure you are prepared for this physically.

A phenomenal road.
A phenomenal road. Views around every corner, simply outstanding scenery. The road is a bit narrowing parts, there is a steep drop without barriers, very interesting. But certainly well worth it for scenery as good or better than Switzerland and Austria. Enjoy the greenery and fir trees, the landscape changes completely after passing Kargil.

Good road trip
A good road trip while on the way to zero point. A quite high-altitude hilly ride but in the poor condition of the local union taxi.

Breathtaking trip that should not be missed
We drove from Sonamarg through the Zojila Pass to Zero Point and Dras (Kargil War Memorial). The grandeur and beauty of the landscape cannot be described or imagined. The road is gradually winding and ascends quite rapidly. Looking down into the valley from which you have ascended is breathtaking. The sheer face of the mountain with the narrow road cut into its face and the opposite rolling mountain range with thick snow on craggy rock and clean, clear rivers running through, makes you feel enveloped in a blanket of immense beauty. A few things to remember. Plan the day and time of your trip well. On Friday, it is closed for maintenance. The timings during which traffic can pass through from each side - Sonamarg or Dras - is released through a travel advisory by the authorities based on weather. We left early ( 5.45 am) which was a very good decision. We avoided the crowd of tourists on the way and reached Zero Point by 7.15 am. We really just wanted to enjoy the landscape in peace. Besides us, there was only a small group of bikers and we reveled in the peace and beauty all-around. The glacier with untouched fresh snow extended on all sides bright and sparkling in the early morning sunlight. No picture can do justice to the place and we tried to capture the moment in our hearts and memories. We drove onto Dras and the Kargil War Memorial and spent some time there. A very well maintained facility and we were glad we visited. On the way we saw Tiger Peak from the road in the distance. We started the return journey by 10 am. We encountered only a few vehicles coming from the opposite direction as most had reached Zero Point by then ( throngs of tourists). The heavy vehicles were yet to be allowed to start their ascent (there are timings for them as well). In fact the system of timings works really well to prevent congestion on the narrow road.
