NIMU PADUM Darcha Road- (EP-01) Upcoming Shortest route to LEH via Zanskar valley

I am fortunate to visit NPDRD, under construction, will be shortest route to LEH via SHINKULA Pass and PADUM, without any PEAKS, it will be parallel to famous ZANSKAR RIVER, popular as Chadar Track. As per BRO sources, it will connect NIMU and through for vehicular traffic early 2024. I CROSSED Shinkula pass in 2002,and thereafter first member of convoy to cross it in my CAR on 04.09.2019, and first couple to reach Zanskar via Shinkula. Nimmu–Padum–Darcha road (NPDR) or Zanskar Highway is a road under construction between the Indian union territory of Ladakh and the state of Himachal Pradesh, passing through the region of Zanskar and SHINKULA PASS . It connects Nimmu in the Indus Valley to Padum, the capital of Zanskar, to Darcha village in Lahul and Spiti. It provides an alternative to the Leh–Manali Highway in linking Ladakh with the rest of India. It is being built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of the Indian army. Construction of road is expected to be completed by late 2023. The already completed Atal tunnel and the proposed unidirectional-twin-tube total-4-lane Shingo La Tunnel which is expected to be completed by 2025 will provide all weather connectivity and reduce the Manali to Kargil distance by 522 km. The northern terminus is located at Nimmu in Ladakh, about 35 km east of Leh. The distance from Nimmu via Padum to the southern terminus at Darcha in Himachal Pradesh is 297 km. The road consists of three major sections: Nimmu - Padum, Padum - Shingo La, Shingo La - Darcha It is estimated that travel on this road will only take 10-12 hours to reach Leh from Manali, as opposed to the Leh-Manali highway taking almost 14-16 hours under good weather condition. The road is strategic for the Indian Army as it is set back from the international border and can facilitate safe troop movements. The regions of Lahul and Spiti were earlier part of Ladakh. They were attached to Zanskar. By 1847, when the British Raj arrived, they were separated from Ladakh and made a part of British Punjab. Thus the connections between Zanskar and Lahul and Spiti were partly severed. Nevertheless, Lahaulis fought for the defence of Ladakh and Zanskar during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948. Major Prithi Chand trekked over the Zoji La pass in winter to arrive in Leh before the raiders from Gilgit. In 1979, when Ladakh was divided into two districts by the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the predominantly Buddhist region of Zanskar was attached to the Muslim-majority Work on the stretch of the road between Nimmu and Padum, called the Chadar Road, was begun by the Jammu and Kashmir Public Works Department in the 1970s. But it was reportedly cancelled by a member of the Legislative Assembly from Srinagar to prevent linking of Zanskar with Leh. Due to linguistic and religious similarities between Zanskar and Leh, the politicians of Kargil had apprehensions that it might eventually come under Leh's jurisdiction. So, instead of the Chadar Road, a road between Kargil and Padum was constructed. Following the Kargil War in 1999, the unfinished Chadar Road project was handed over to the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). Trekkers on the Chadar trek (the frozen Zanskar River during winters) perceived the planned road as spoiling the wild and pristine environment. The central government questioned the state of Jammu and Kashmir in 2007 about the need for the road. The councillor of the Ling shed constituency replied that it was a "right" and a necessity for the development of the remote and backward villages of the region. LATEST UPDATE : THIS TIME I VISITED LAST PART OF THIS ROAD, Border Roads Organisation reported that only a 07-08-kilometre stretch of the road remained incomplete, WHICH THEY EXPECT TO FINISH IN FEB/MARCH 2024.
