Tiger Hill Viewpoint

Tiger Hill Viewpoint is a roadside viewpoint on the Srinagar-Leh National Highway (NH1) near Drass in Kargil district, Ladakh. It offers distant views of Tiger Hill (Point 5062), a prominent peak at 5,062 metres that was a key location during the 1999 Kargil War. The viewpoint is a brief stop for travellers between Srinagar and Leh to observe the mountain landscape and understand the area's strategic geography.

Visitors can expect a marked roadside viewpoint along NH1 with an open viewing area facing the high mountain ridges. From the viewpoint, Tiger Hill and surrounding peaks such as Tololing are visible on clear days. There are no large structures, only signage and viewing space beside the highway. Visitors typically stop briefly for sightseeing and photography of the rugged, high-altitude landscape and to view the peaks associated with the Kargil War.

Tiger Hill (Point 5062) overlooks the Srinagar-Leh Highway and was a strategic high point during the 1999 Kargil War. The peak was the site of the Battle of Tiger Hill in July 1999, when it was recaptured after intense operations. The viewpoint was established to allow visitors to see the peak from a safe roadside location and to understand its strategic position.
