Zero point

Brief Introduction of Zero Point SonmargZero-point, which lies around 25 kilometres from Sonamarg, is where Ladakh officially begins on the road connecting Srinagar with Leh. Don't be fooled; the location shown by Google Maps really links to a site 6 kilometres away. Even though it may seem crazy to go so far to view a famous location, consider my advice and make the trip. Without it, your journey won't be complete. At a little town named Gumri, where you turn around, your journey comes to an end.

The vistas along the route to zero-point are breathtaking and unlike anything you have yet to witness in Kashmir. Huge valleys with a river that snakes through them may be seen. As you approach closer to zero point, the mountains also change from being vibrant green to becoming dry brown. The beginning of Ladakh is around 25 kilometres from Sonamarg and is located on the route between Srinagar and Leh. Don't be fooled; the location shown by Google Maps really links to a site 6 kilometres away.
