    If you’re heading out on a weekday, try leaving Kargil around 7:30 am. The shared jeep from the main bus stop starts at 8 am but you can catch an earlier local taxi that still takes about 40 45 minutes. The road is usually clear before the lunch crowd arrives, so you’ll see fewer visitors at the memorial. Afterward, a quick coffee at Hotel The Haven Kargil is convenient if you need a break.
