Sinthan Top β Anantnag to Kishtwar via Daksum.
A two-day Himalayan crossing from the Kashmir Valley over the 3,800 m Sinthan Top into the saffron and sapphire country of Kishtwar. Mughal gardens, trout springs and pine forests give way to a high alpine meadow where snow lingers into June. Quiet, scenic and far off the tourist trail.
