SINTHAN TOP

Sinthan Top is a less-known tourist spot in the outskirts of Anantnag that is gradually gaining popularity because of its natural beauty. The Sinthan pass connects Anantnag with Kishtwar and is the only road that connects the people of Warwan and Marwah of Kishtwar district with district headquarters in Kishtwar town. It is 12,500 feet (3,800 m) above sea level and is snow-capped for most of the year. It is located on the Anantnag–Kokernag–Kishtwar section of NH 244, and is 80 km from Kishtwar town, 130 km south of Srinagar and 73 km from Anantnag and 48 km from Kokernag. Sinthan Top has no local population. Shepherds from adjoining places like Kokernag, Daksum, and tourists and those working in the tourism industry may stay overnight in tents.
