→National Highway 1 (NH 1) is a National Highway in North India that connects the Kashmir valley to Leh and the rest of India. The northern terminal is in Uri in Jammu & Kashmir and the southern terminal is in Leh. Stretches of NH 1 run through some extremely treacherous terrain and shut-offs because of avalanches or landslides are common in Winter months.[1] The famous Jawahar Tunnel that connects Jammu with the Kashmir Valley across the Pir Panjal Range falls en route. An all-weather alternate road project that will cut short the distance between the two cities by 82 km (51 mi) and the travel time by two-thirds is currently being considered[2]
