The route has enough stops for you to unwind with cups of butter tea and yak wool gloves to keep you warm, and the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, complete with travels through Khargungla Pass, Baralacha Pass and more, will mesmerise you like none other.

Another stunning route to visit Leh is via Srinagar and Kargil. Easier than the Manali-Leh route, this journey also includes some captivating sights, clear blue skies and mountains that slowly change colours and hues as the oxygen levels drop and the Himalayas become barren. But the destination, Leh, with all its surrounding spots, is worth every second of this road trip!
