However, the highway being narrow at places and numerous small towns falling en route, traffic jams are common.

The distance between Patnitop and Banihal tunnels is just 70km. The on-going road work meant the Magnite wore a layer of dust all around but it did end up looking purposeful enough, as if ready for the adventure coming its way in the next few days. Post this tunnel, it was time to take a quick break for late breakfast. Caption: The 9.2km long Patnitop tunnelĭo note, this image above was taken in designated 'parking' patches that come up every few kilometers. Situated at an altitude of 4000 feet, this tunnel helps travellers avoid the slow drive of going up and down the hill-station of Patnitop. With a wide valley to our right, the Magnite CVT covered group rapidly till we hit the 9.28 kilometre long Patnitop tunnel. We were able to leave Udhampur by 8am and thankfully witnessed only light traffic on the highway. Yes, road work is still on at places but the average pace of covering distance has gone up. The Jammu - Srinagar highway has improved massively in the past few years. Caption: The direct route to Udhampur had mini tunnels like these Day 2 : Udhampur to Sonamarg Truck traffic aside, the route is narrow but good and also hinted at what was to come our way the next day. This direct route to Udhampur negates the need to enter Jammu and goes via the Mansar lake. Caption: we entered the lower part of Himalayas by eveningĪn hour later, we bypassed the winter capital city (Jammu) and got our first proper tryst with hilly terrain. With our Covid-19 vaccination reports checked, we proceeded ahead and our eyes kept hunting for mountain roads. Post that, we entered Jammu & Kashmir and this is where pre-paid SIM cards stop working. Caption: Srinagar would be tomorrow :-DĪs we neared Pathankot, we got the first view of the mountains and a short stretch of hills. We were driving the CVT automatic variant and staying within the legal highway speed limits, the on-board display registered over 18 kmpl as far as economy was concerned. 95% four lane highway, a toll booth every 30-60 mins and the occasional interceptor, ready to play 'hide and seek' with fast moving cars. This part of India isn't very scenic and the first 470km till the outskirts of Pathankot were dismissed off with ease without much drama. Caption: Taking a break before Ambala (200km) This highway has been improving over the years and it was pretty easy to keep our average speeds upwards of 70km/hr. Our journey kicked off from New Delhi and NH44 would be our companion for the next couple of days. Reaching the world's highest pass wasn't easy and involved driving for more than just a couple of days. And third, Nissan recently rolled out the 50,000th Magnite from their manufacturing plant and this did call for a celebration at the roof of the world! Day 1 : Delhi to Udhampur

Second, Ladakh's season is starting off and we are assuming a lot of drivers (and riders) want to know more about this 'new' place.

Umling la (la means a pass in local language) has recently been opened up for civilians and with the availability of proper tarmac at such altitude, it has been in the limelight for the right reasons. So why this extreme adventure? While there are ample valid reasons, let me highlight a few. Say hello to the world's highest motorable pass Umling la, a feat we achieved with one of India's most capable compact SUVs, the Nissan Magnite CVT.

And the piercing cold fast winds froze every exposed part of the skin within seconds. AMS or Acute Mountain Sickness set in, leading to levels of headache never experienced before. Every single step was a herculean task and low oxygen levels led to our brains sending out the wrong signals across the nervous system. Everest's Base Camp, our lungs struggled for each breath. 19,300 feet above mean sea level to be precise. On the morning of 29th March 2022, we were the only two people anywhere in the world to be on a road this high.
