Driving Tips
Split this into a 2-day drive — overnight at Jammu or Patnitop, it is too long for a single day
Jammu-Srinagar highway has one-way traffic on some sections — check schedule before starting
Carry extra fuel, food, and water for the Jammu-Srinagar stretch — services are sparse
Jawahar Tunnel can have long queues — be patient and keep engine running for ventilation
Winter driving requires snow chains and experience — hire a local driver through Triveni Cabs
