Zojila Tunnel: Giving Back the Pass, Road Below - Life Above | Megha Engineering

#zojilapass #jammukashmir #meghaengineering When winter closes the road to Ladakh, the silence is more than weather. It is isolation, delay, and a difficult pause in everyday life. The Zojila Tunnel is changing that reality by taking movement underground and giving the mountain pass above a quieter future. This is the Zojila Tunnel on NH-1, being built under one of the most challenging high-altitude routes in the Himalaya. Stretching 13.153 km, it is the world’s longest single-tube bi-directional road tunnel at such a high altitude. Its purpose is simple to say, but transformative in impact: all-weather connectivity between Srinagar and Ladakh. But the real story goes beyond the tunnel itself. The deeper question is what happens to Zojila Pass above once the traffic moves inside the mountain.
