Thank you for your informative vlog. Need your advice. Are road and weather conditions suitable in early April for doing a road journey between Jammu to Leh-Ladakh and down via Manali back to Delhi. Have to be in Ladakh in mid-April to see the Apricot blossoms in Sham Valley. Trip planned in own SUV (petrol, automatic, front wheel drive, fully loaded with 4 persons and their baggage). Some have told me that certain passes (Zojila?) could be un-motorable due to snow or slush. But I want second opinion. Many thanks.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

No Sanjeev, you cannot travel in April.. this year as well even though Srinagar Leh highway was cleared in April but it took well into May to stabilize and open for one-way.. it was well towards end of May highway was opened for two way traffic and Manali Leh got opened for one way traffic around third week of May.. so April is something you should surely avoid.

I think Manali will still be closed by that time. While returning, we have already booked flights. Also, if u could suggest on travel mode also mainly taxi. Thanks in advance!

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Thank you Govind bhai.. I do not think that Manali Leh will be open and safe, both, by that time of the year. So, Srinagar to Leh is your best bet. In case there is not much snow this year and if it is safe to travel during April from Manali to Leh then only do it. Otherwise, follow Srinagar to Leh route both sides.

Bahai 7thoctober manth tak from srinagar ley heigh way me ladakh tour possible?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

First two weeks of October are OK to travel in general on Srinagar Leh Highway. Before leaving Sonamarg check weather updates of the region and in case there is no snowfall you can continue to Kargil and further to Leh. 1-2 times snowfall happen in Spetember and October but that snow clears aways quickly in general.

Hi. First of all thank you for the video it is very informative. My Q is, Do we get a two wheeler which we can pick up from Srinagar and drop at Ladakh ?

No, you dont get such for as hired mode.. there are rental bikes that are available in Srinagar which you yourself can ride but dropping them in Srinagar will help cost you a lot

hi dheeraj ji, we planning a road trip to leh in mid august . on day 8 , planning to go to tso moriri from pangong lake. next day, from tso moriri to jispa. is it workable or should i do some changes to my itinerary. please advise. thanks

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

It is monsoon time in general up there in North and at some parts of Manali - Leh Highway (like before Baralacha La) and Srinagar - Leh Highway (like before Kargil) you might need to face monsoon hassles but once you get closer to Ladakh, then Ladakh being rain shadow region is least affected by monsoon rains. Landslides or slush or road blocks are pretty common in the month of monsoons but these landslides are cleared in a day or two unless there is a very major one. Again there are ALWAYS risks of traveling in mountains in the rainy season. No one can predict anything but it is a well known fact about the risks of traveling in mountains Having said that, rains does reach Ladakh nowadays but in general, it is overcast days or in form of light drizzles. I will suggest you go thru my video on 10 Tips for a Trip to Ladakh in Monsoons at the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioLNc6prpah6rpo

Traffic as of now is only allowed between 6.30 AM to 9.30 AM where first one hour is only for LMVs then later HMVs are also allowed now.

Thanks Mr. Dheeraj for such a nice informative video. We are a group of five friends planning to visit as per your itinerary. We will reach srinagar on 3rd June and planning to catch return flight from chandigarh on 13th of June. But as per my calculation we are short by one day if we skip rest day. I have two queries. 1. Is it possible that we go to tsomoriri directly from pangong? 2. Is it possible that we can cover tsomoriri to jispa/Keylong on one day and on next day keylong to chandigarh. What issues may come. Please suggest.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Here are my replies bhai: 1. Yes you can take Spangmik - Man - Merak - Chusul - Loma - Nyoma - Tso Moriri route. Leave early in the morning from Pangong to reach by evening to Tso Moriri. 2. Tso Moriri to Jispa can also be done in one day and same way Jispa/Keylong to Chandigarh is also possible. About 12 hrs. Just leave early on both days.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Hello Abhishek bhai.. Well, at the glimpse of it, your plan is pretty hectic. Day 5: It is very long, mostly you will reach way late by evening so forget doing whatever you have written there. Ideally you should split at Patnitop Day 8,9: Good to take rest for couple of days Day 10: Turtuk you already know that will need one more day Day 12: It will be very long too and considering it will be early season with Manali Leh Highway MAY NOT be OPEN at all or may have timing restrictions, better keep a buffer day there to be ready to split the journey. All this is also considering you are OK with such long hours of ride or drive and have stamina to do it for back to back days mostly. Plus like I said Manali Leh Highway will be open or not or safe or not, time can only tell.

[@AbhishekPol11]

@@discoverwithdheeraj Is it possible for you to give revised plan?

Day 10 Leh - Rancho school, Chemery, Hemis,Thiksey,Shey, Stakna monestry. Day 11 Khardungla, Diskit & Nubra valley Day 12 Turtuk village - additional optional day. Day 13 Pangong (Leave early around 6 AM) Go from Nubra not via Leh, will save 1 day. Day 14 Pangong to Leh If Manali Leh is open: Day 15 Leh to Sarchu Day 16 Sarchu to Manali Day 17 Day in Manali Rest for long ride ahead Day 18 Manali to Narnol - 580 KM (11 Hours) If Manali Leh is NOT open: Day 15 Leh to Kargil Day 16 Kargil to Srinagar Day 17 Srinagar to Jammu Day 18 Jammu to Narnol - 660 KM (12 Hours)

You are not going to miss anything rather see lot of beautiful views on this direct route from Pangong tso to Tso Moriri. Leave early morning from Pangong and also plan for spare fuel. Tangtse, 34 km before Pangong, now has a petrol pump operational starting this year.
