Located in the Himalayan range, the road to the summit is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy. It is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). The area is restricted for civilians. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4wd vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. The pass connects Gurez in Kashmir to Drass in via Mushkoh Valley Kargil, Ladakh and hence you bypass the Zoji La. There are high chances of getting affected by AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness).
