Nimmu-Padam-Darcha Road In Ladakh : Connectivity

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has accomplished a significant milestone by establishing connectivity on the Nimmu-Padam-Darcha Road in Ladakh.

  • Nimmu-Padum-Darcha Road serves as a vital link between the Indian Union territory of Ladakh and the state of Himachal Pradesh, traversing through the picturesque region of Zanskar, Ladakh.
  • It is an all-weather road from Manali (Himachal Pradesh) to Leh (Ladakh) through Darcha and Nimmu on the Kargil–Leh Highway.
  • It was constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO).
  • It crosses only one pass—Shinkun La (16,558 feet)—on which tunnel work is about to commence by the BRO.
  • It will be the first all-weather road connecting Ladakh to the rest of the country.
  • The connectivity will strengthen defence preparedness and provide a boost to economic development in the Zanskar valley.
