Hi Dheeraj, I am planning to travel to Leh in the HRTC bus that leaves Delhi. I came to know that this bus used to overnight stay in Keylong earlier and now the stop is removed. I could not see any bus options from Keylong to Leh. If I took a ticket from Delhi, whether I can stay in Keylong one day and continue to Leh on the next day or should I get any other option to Leh from Keylong?

[@manjuladavangere]

can we see snow or snow fall in changla pass in September last week pls?

Dheeraj bhai, where to stay after Jispa if going to Leh via Padum? Thank you for this video.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

You should ideally stay at Purne after Jispa to do Phuktal Monastery on next day before reaching Padum.. if you do not want to visit Phuktal then you can straight go to Padum.. now at Padum you have three options either spend a rest day and next day go to Leh via Sirsirla route OR either go to Kargil via Pensila and then next day to Leh OR dont rest and travel to Leh from Padum via Sirsirla, least recommended

Hello Dheeraj bhai, I am planning to drive my car to ladakh(first time) from Mumbai and your videos have been very informative. Thank you! Just wanted to know what are the absolute necessary items / tools / spare parts to carry for car while planning a road trip to Ladakh? Want to make sure in case of any emergency i dont miss out on anything important. Tried to search for such detailed video from you but couldn’t find it. Also what to do in such scenarios? Is there a local police / army helpline number which i can call on to get assistance in emergency?

Sir, I wanted to ask, after Jispa in November, how far can we travel on our bikes? Like, how much will the army allow, and which roads will be open in the first week of November?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Brother, I doubt they will allow beyond Darcha checkpost or Deepaktal at max during that time of the year or I really doubt because it is very dangerous even to climb towards Baralacha La Pass as the terrain beyond Darcha is all like 13-14000 feet which is dangerous in winter season.

[@jalpeshshah6193]

Dheeraj- Thanks for posting such a good informative videos. I am planning nine days trip from Mumbai to Himachal. Staring on 2nd Nov from Mumbai.. 2nd Nov to 10th Nov. We will be husband, wife & 13 years kid.. Could you pls suggest itinerary with mix of offbeat and commercial places? Kids would definitely prefer some flavour of adventure sports, river rafting, shopping etc.. We prefer peace..:) We had been to Dharmshala & Dalhousie earlier.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Well, I will recommend that you can enjoy following itinerary in November: 2: Delhi to Tirthan Valley, try getting booking at Raju Bharti Guest House if available 3: Rest in Tirthan valley, hike in Great Himalayan National Park 4: Tirthan Valley to Mandi to Barot 5: Visit Bir Biling and may be move to Parashar Lake or stay at Barot only 6: Reach Manali via Parashar Lake 7: Enjoy Manali - Solang Valley (adventure activities) 8: Day trip to Lahaul beyond Atal Tunnel 9: Visit Naggar return to Manali 10: Return back to Delhi

It is going to be a very hectic plan... I am not sure that if you have any experience in driving or riding for such long hours. With hectic schedule and fatigue there is always chances of body hitting with AMS. I will suggest that you add some rest days between and take it slow.. every day except Day 3 is almost more than 8 hrs of drive.

Now as of May 2024, you will find petrol pumps ar following places in Ladakh Leh, Karu near Leh, Diskit in Nubra , Tangtse near Pangong Lake, Nyoma near Hanle and Tso Moriri (Newly operational in 2024) Then if you exit on Manali Leh highway from Tso Moriri then next petrol pump will be Keylong. So if you are doing Ladakh circuits as above, you will need to manage about 290 km without petrol pump in case returning to Leh or Karu otherwise if you exit from Tso Moriri to Keylong/Manali then you need to manage about 420 km
