The Mughal Road — A Historic Drive Through the Heart of Kashmir

Mughal Road – From Royal Path to Scenic Journey

The Mughal Road is not just a highway — it’s a journey through time and nature. Connecting Shopian in the Kashmir Valley to Poonch and Rajouri in Jammu, this scenic route traces the ancient path once walked by Mughal emperors on their way to Kashmir.

Winding through the Pir Panjal mountain range, the road offers breathtaking landscapes, high-altitude meadows, dense forests, and a rare chance to explore rural Kashmir away from the crowds. At around 84 km, the route’s beauty peaks at Peer Ki Gali, a mountain pass located at over 11,000 ft, offering surreal views and cool, crisp air.

Whether you’re a road trip enthusiast, history lover, or nature photographer, Mughal Road is a must-drive Himalayan route full of discovery and tranquility.
