National Highway 301, commonly referred to as NH 301 is an intermediate-lane national highway in India.[1][2] It is a spur road of National Highway 1.[3] NH-301 traverses the union territory of Ladakh in India.[2][4]
Route, declared a national highway in 2017, is as follows:[1][2]
- Kargil city, junction with NH1 Srinagar-Leh Highway
- Suru Valley: Suru River flows south-to-north from Penzi La to Kargil
- Pensi La (Penzi La) pass
- Stod River (Doda River) sub-valley of Zanskar valley: Stod/Doda River flows north-to-south from Penzi La to Padum
- Akshu
- Hamiling
- Phey (not to be confused with namesake Phey in Leh district)
- Tungri, home of Tungri Monastery
- Techa Khasar
- Padum, junction with Nimmu–Padum–Darcha road where Stod/Doda river confluences with Tsarap River to form the Zanskar River
Major intersections
NH 1 northern terminal near Kargil.[1]- Nimmu–Padum–Darcha road (NPD Road) southern terminal at Padum town.
Tunnel
There is demand to build Pensi La Tunnel for all-weather connectivity, as the Pensi La (Penzi La) pass remains open only during 6-7 months of the year, and gets cut off during winter snow.
