Sinthan Top

Sinthan Top

Sinthan top is a spot 12000 ft above sea level in Kashmir which is midway on the newly opened

Anantnag-kokernag-Sinthan-Kishtwar road. The road has been built and is maintained by BRo in excellent

condition. It is 132 km from Srinagar.The journey is in itself an experience and once you reach the

top it is 360 degree view, and snow everywhere. You can get down from the car and walk on snow.Sinthan Top

is one such destination that caught the tourists’ eye recently when the construction of Kokernag- Kishtwar

road started. At a distance of around 128 kilometers from Srinagar and located at a height of 3748 meters,

Sinthan top has a great potential to become tourist favourite because of its magnificent location

and breathtaking beauty. Around 40 kilometers of snaky and uphill drive from Daksum, it’s an adventurous

journey. And round the year snow at the top makes it a varied choice for local tourists as well as

outsiders.The general tourist visits to Sinthan top began only a few years ago and all this while, only

the local tourists had been seen enjoying the beauty of the area, that too in less numbers. The Sinthan

top has great potential for Adventure Tourism. The spot is absolutely perfect for climbing and skiing,

especially with the altitude at which it is positioned and the vast types of mountains surrounding

the immediate vicinity. It can be of immense value to the economy of adventure tourism business, in

and around the Valley.The main advantage of the Sinthan top is that famous places such as Daksum Kokernagand

Achabal appear directly along the route giving tourists a wide range of opportunities to choose from,

which makes travel all the more enjoyable.Lying at an elevation of 12000 feet above the sea level,

this place overlooks beautiful sceneries of the low-lying regions. The sprawling cover of snow paints

this entire area in white, making it visually appealing. During most parts of the year, the area

remains inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, and the best time to visit is between April and September.
