A Srinagar to Kargil tempo traveller is a 12 seater Force Traveller with an experienced local driver, and Happy Jacks Tours and Travels arranges it for groups crossing into Ladakh. The route covers about 200 km and takes roughly 7 hours, running through Sonamarg and over the high Zoji La pass before reaching Kargil. This is a scenic but demanding mountain drive, so groups usually book the tempo traveller as a full day journey with an early morning start. Many travellers use Kargil as an overnight halt on the way to Leh. Fares start from Rs 5,000 per day and are confirmed on WhatsApp based on your dates, pickup point and whether Kargil is a stop on a longer Ladakh trip. Our Srinagar based drivers know the Zoji La road well and time the drive around the pass.
