Kargil
mainly serves as an ideal base station for adventure activities like trekking,
mountaineering, camping, river rafting etc. In high Himalayan Valleys. It is
also a base for taking shorter excursions to Mulbek where the chief attraction
is a 9-m high rock sculpture depicting the future Buddha.
Kargil also offers some interesting walks along the river bank and up the hillside.
The best among these is the one leading to Goma Kargil along a 2-km long winding
road which, passing through some of the most picturesque parts of the town,
presents breathtaking views of the mountain stream.
A stroll in the bazaar might lead to a shop selling flint and tobacco pouches,
travelling hookahs and brass kettles - handcrafted items of everyday use which
find their way into the mart as curios. Most shops deals in common consumer
goods, but some specialize in trekking provisions.
The showroom of the Government Industries Centre near the riverbank displays
and sell Pashmina Shawls, local carpets and other woolen handicrafts. The apricot
jam produced here serves as a rare delicacy. Kargil's dry apricot has now become
a souvenir item, which can be purchased freely in the bazaar.
