Kargil Cloudburst, Sriangar – Leh reopens
A day after the devastating cloudburst and flash floods in Kargil, BRO has managed to restore road connectivity on the Srinagar – Leh Highway. While the road conditions are poor at places in and around Kargil, however traffic is trickling through and Ladakh remains connected via both its land routes to rest of India.
This is welcome news for the locals and army, as well as tourists, who need not cancel or postpone their plans and can visit Ladakh without any issue.
Hi,
I heard that a lot of cloud bursting is happening around Kargil, is it safe to visit Srinagar-Kargil-Leh this month? I’ve planned a 10 days trip from 9th Aug 2013.
Please advise/suggest.
There was just one cloudburst and road has reopened after that. Weather forecast does suggests that it will rain in and around Kargil, however unless it is quite heavy, there is no cause for worry.
