from Anantnag to Pahlagam via another road upto 43 kms. I was witnessing Jammu – Srinagar which I felt was quite ordinary 2 lane road comparing different highways in India. At many places
construction work was on for changing it to four lane freeway. Driver
said it would take at least 5 years to complete this Jammu Srinagar
Highway to a 4 lane freeway.It is one of the most dangerous highway in
the world. The death toll here is maximum in Indian highways as it is
very accident prone and traffic is on 24 hours. Also climatic
conditions here vary from extreme hot in summer to snowfall in winter.
In winter many times this highway gets closed due to heavy snowfall. On
this way there are lot of Vaishno dhabas where you can have good variety
of veg food like Indian Thali and special dish of Kashmir, Rajma rice.
2 and half to 3 hours weUdhampur and after crossing Udhampur driver made stop for tea.
some Patisa at Kud a small town just 4 kms before Patnitop famous for making sweets.
Patisa is a sweet dish made in pure ghee, wonderful and unique in taste.
Patnitop is highest city in Jammu Valley situated at the height of 2024 meters on Jammu Srinagar Highway in lower Himalayan range of Kashmir. It is situated at a distance of 47 kms from Udhampur and 112 kms from Jammu. In olden times there was a pond name “Patan da talab”( pond of princess) and hence Britishers having difficulties in pronouncing named it Patnitop. Still some part of that pond exists near youth hostel. The towns Kud and Batote are located 4-6 kms before and after Patnitop on Jammu Srinagar Highway . All the 3 towns are famous for climate, scenery, sweets , paragliding sports and kidney beans ( rajma). Patnitop is enveloped by thick numbers of deodhar pine trees, picnic spots, breadth taking views of hilly Chena Valley. Peaceful walks and pony rides will be the best way to entertain as wells as feel calmness in this beautiful place. There is a paragliding centre 2 kms away from Patnitop on Patnitop – Sanasar highway. Natha top is 14 kms away from Patnitop where you can find snow almost all times a year.
