India's Longest Highway NH-44 Links Srinagar to Kanyakumari

India's Longest Highway NH-44 Links Srinagar to Kanyakumari

India has a very long road called NH-44.

It is the longest national highway in the whole country.

The road starts in Srinagar, a city in the far north near the snowy Himalayan mountains.

It ends in Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India by the sea.

On the way, the highway passes through 12 different states.

Because it is so long, travellers see very different landscapes, from tall mountains to coastal land.

Many people use the road to move goods for business and to go on trips.

It also helps defence forces move their supplies from one part of the country to another.

The highway is like a big thread that connects many parts of India together.

That is why it is seen as a symbol of India's unity.
