Zoji La Pass In Sonmarg

Also known as the Gateway to Ladakh, the Zoji-La pass is located about 9km from Sonmarg. At 3,528 metres above sea-level, this is the second highest and one of the most dangerous mountain passes in the Kashmir Valley. The pass has some of the prettiest views of the surrounding areas, especially those of the Dras Valley and the snowy Himalayan peaks. The pass is only open during late spring; it is closed for the rest of the year due to heavy rains and snowfall.
