The 13.153-km Zojila Tunnel, the world’s longest single-tube bi-directional road tunnel at the highest altitude, and its final breakthrough will be a historic milestone in India’s infrastructure history.
Located in the Zojila region between Baltal (Sonamarg) and Meenamarg (Drass & Kargil) in the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the project is being executed to provide all‑weather connectivity across one of India’s most challenging Himalayan corridors, which remains cut off for long periods every year due to heavy snowfall, avalanches, and extreme weather conditions. Positioned at an elevation of about 11,578 feet above sea level, the tunnel represents one of the most significant engineering achievements in India’s mountain infrastructure sector.
