The 3,748 m pass between two valleys
Sinthan Top is the windswept saddle linking Kashmir's Breng valley with Kishtwar — snow walls in early summer, 360° Himalayan views, and snowfields lingering by the roadside into July. It is the rare high pass you can drive to in a morning from Srinagar and still picnic in snow.
Plan my Sinthan Top tripPir Panjal and Kishtwar ranges unrolled in every direction.
Snow play without trekking — straight from the car.
Hairpins through Daksum's forests up to the open saddle.
Early starts reward photographers with cloud-sea valleys.
May–September; the pass closes with snowfall from late autumn to spring.
