❓ High-Altitude Highway Travel FAQs & Winter Advisory
What are the standard convoy timings for Jammu to Srinagar on NH-44?
When one-way traffic is declared from Jammu towards Srinagar, light motor vehicles (LMVs) must pass the Nagrota check-post between 06:00 AM and 11:30 AM, and Jakheni Udhampur before 01:00 PM. No vehicle is permitted beyond the cut-off timings.
Is Mughal Road safer than NH-44 during monsoon?
Mughal Road connects Bafliaz (Poonch) to Shopian through Pir Ki Gali. While it bypasses the Ramban landslide corridor of NH-44, it rises to 11,400 ft and may experience sudden dense fog or black ice during early morning and late evening hours.
When does Sinthan Top and Zojila Pass close for winter?
Sinthan Top and Zojila Pass typically experience heavy snowfall between late November and mid-April. BRO (Border Roads Organisation) deploys high-powered snow cutters to keep passes operational as long as weather permits.
