Embark on an unforgettable motorcycle journey from Srinagar towards Kashmir's majestic mountains. Please note: While the Kishtwar–Sinthan Top–Anantnag road (NH-244) has seen limited opening for light motor vehicles (passenger/private cars) from Kishtwar towards Srinagar via Sinthan Top between 08:30 am and 3:30 pm (as of May 5, 2026), the road from Daksum towards Sinthan Top (NH-244) is currently closed for all vehicular movement except for emergency/medical use. Light Motor Vehicles (Passenger/Private Cars) are allowed only from PP Parana and Daksum between 08:00 am and 4:00 pm. Heavy Motor Vehicles (up to 6 tyres) and HPVs (seating capacity up to 30 passengers) are allowed on alternate days only, after confirmation from PP Parana between 08:00 am and 4:00 pm, with no movement permitted after cut-off timings (as of June 3, 2026). The road has also experienced intermittent closures due to fresh snowfall and snow accumulation in April and early May 2026. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued recurring warnings for rain, snowfall in higher reaches, thunderstorms, and potential flash floods and landslides across Jammu & Kashmir, including Sinthan Pass and along NH-44, with a forecast for a wetter and cooler May. Night travel on NH-44 is advised against due to risks of shooting stones, landslides, and ongoing construction. Additionally, slow traffic movement is observed on NH-44 due to single-lane conditions between Marog and Kishtwar Patnitop/Pather, and movement of nomadic herds (as of June 3, 2026). This 2-day adventure offers a thrilling ride through scenic valleys and challenging mountain roads, allowing you to discover the raw beauty of the Himalayas and experience the true spirit of adventure on this exhilarating route, though the final destination of Sinthan Top remains largely inaccessible from the Daksum side due to regulated access.
