Sinthan Top is a high-altitude mountain pass at 3,800 metres (12,467 ft), located in the Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir.

The total distance is approximately 130 km, covering a mix of national highway and mountain roads.
Road Conditions & Safety
Roads from Srinagar to Anantnag and Kokernag are well-maintained national highways with smooth, fast and manageable in all conditions. Beyond Daksum, the road transitions into mountain terrain: narrow stretches, hairpin bends and occasional loose gravel patches near the final ascent to Sinthan Top.
During peak season (April to November) roads are generally safe for passenger vehicles in the morning. Afternoon mist and rainfall are common, another reason early starts are essential. We provide weather-aware guidance on the day of travel as standard.
Important: The road from Daksum to Sinthan Top is a single-lane mountain track at several points. Weather changes rapidly above 3,000 m. Our drivers are experienced on this specific route and know where to stop, wait or turn around if conditions deteriorate.

When to Travel: Seasonal Availability
Peak Season: April to November
The road to Sinthan Top is fully open from April to November. June to August is the busiest period visibility is best, wildflowers are in bloom and the summit offers clear views toward the Kishtwar and Doda districts. Pre-booking your cab from Srinagar to Sinthan Top is strongly advised during this window, as vehicles get fully booked 2–3 days ahead.
Winter: December to March
Sinthan Top receives heavy snowfall from December onwards. The upper section beyond Daksum typically closes due to snow and ice. BRO (Border Roads Organisation) works to clear the pass, but re-opening timelines vary year to year. We advise checking road advisory status if you’re planning winter travel. On open days, an SUV with experienced driver is mandatory no sedans are permitted above Daksum in winter months.

Shared taxis from Srinagar to Anantnag are available, but they do not go to Sinthan Top directly.
