Kashmiri porters on horseback travel past walls of snow along the newly reopened Srinagar-Leh highway in Zojila, about 67 miles east of Srinagar, on Wednesday. The 275-mile-long highway was opened for the season by Indian Army authorities after remaining snow at Zojila Pass, some 11,581 feet above sea level, had been cleared. The pass connects Kashmir with the Buddhist-dominated Ladakh region, a famous tourist destination among foreign tourists for its monasteries, landscapes and mountains.
