National Highway 1, Mountain highway in Jammu and Kashmir, India
National Highway 1 connects Kashmir Valley with Jammu through mountainous terrain, featuring steep slopes and narrow passages along the Himalayas.
The road follows ancient trade routes through the Pir Panjal mountain range, which merchants used for centuries to reach Central Asian markets.
Local communities along National Highway 1 maintain traditional stopping points where travelers can experience regional cuisine and handicrafts.
During winter months, sections of the highway frequently close due to snow accumulation, requiring vehicles to carry emergency supplies and chains.
The Jawahar Tunnel, carved through the Pir Panjal mountains at 2,194 meters elevation, serves as a critical passage on this route.
