Being the longest national highway in India, NH 44 offers a great experience to people in terms of road trips. Starting from Srinagar to the last end of the country i.e. Kanyakumari. This highway is popular as the longest highway in the country. Let me tell you, this national highway covers many places from north to south.
If you are going from north to south or want to go, then you can include Jammu and Kashmir, which is called heaven on earth, in your list. Green grasslands, natural scenery, ancient lakes and high mountains spread far and wide give Kashmir a different look. From this highway, you can go to Srinagar, Sonamarg, Gulmarg can also be enjoyed while living in Kashmir. If you come to this place, then definitely enjoy some tasty dishes like Rogan Josh and Yakhani Pulao.
Coming from Kashmir, you will enter Punjab, a place that has been the center of green revolution in India. Apart from its lush green fields and sprawling farms, Punjab is also a big industrial hub, producing clothes, sports goods, bicycles and pharmaceuticals. Jalandhar and Ludhiana are the two major hubs that fall on NH44. If you are fond of sports shoes, then you can buy as much good sports gear as you want in Jalandhar.
