A Srinagar to Kargil taxi with Happy Jacks Tours and Travels is the easy way to cross one of the most dramatic mountain routes in India. The journey covers about 200 km and takes close to 7 hours, climbing through green Sonamarg meadows and up over the high Zoji La pass before dropping into the Suru and Drass valleys. Our vehicles come with experienced local Kashmiri drivers who know the road, the weather, and the best photo stops along the way. Kargil is the natural gateway to Ladakh, so many guests use this route as an overnight halt or an onward leg to Leh. Whether you travel as a couple, a family, or a group, we have the right car and a clear per day price confirmed on WhatsApp.
The road from Srinagar heads northeast toward Sonamarg, then climbs the switchbacks of Zoji La, one of the highest and most scenic passes on the way to Ladakh. After the pass the drive continues past Drass toward Kargil town.
We run a clean fleet for every group size, each with a driver included. Pick a sedan for two, an SUV for a family, or a tempo traveller for a larger group.
| Vehicle | Passengers | From price |
|---|---|---|
| Swift Dzire | 4 passengers | Rs 2,500/day |
| Innova Crysta | 7 passengers | Rs 4,500/day |
| Force Traveller tempo | 12 passengers | Rs 5,000/day |
Zoji La can be affected by weather and seasonal closures, so we advise an early morning start. Share your travel dates and group size and we will suggest the best vehicle and timing for a smooth ride to Kargil.
