Sinthan Top, Srinagar Overview

Sinthan Top is a high mountain pass in the Pir Panjal range, on the Kokernag-Sinthan Top-Kishtwar road connecting the Kashmir and Jammu regions. Its snow-covered slopes are popular for mountaineering, trekking and skiing, and it's becoming a growing tourist stop for its views.

However, this part of Srinagar is not a residential zone, with no concrete population. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful spot for camps, as many local shepherds and even tourists set up overnight tents here. There are just about two or three small food stalls selling regional chai and eggs. There will be a tunnel soon passing through the Sinthan pass. Although the Vailoo-Singhpora tunnel was officially approved two years ago, it is yet to be constructed.
