Kargil as a tourist spot
It is one of the most scenic places in the country, but unfortunately, it is not known for tourism. The best way to reach the place is to take a flight from Delhi to Leh and then go by road to Kargil. The view is truly to die for. Siddharth adds, “When we went to Kargil, there were hardly any travelers. As you go ahead there is an amazing valley which is very scenic. It is just two hours away from the location. It is an unexplored area and if someone likes the outdoors and loves nature, it is an apt place to visit purely as a tourist. I hope the film has brought some awareness to people that it is safe to go there.”
