Description

The best route for a trip to Ladakh depends on various factors, such as your starting point, time of the year, and personal preferences. However, two of the most popular routes are via Manali and Sarchu or via Kaza and Zingchen.
The Manali to Leh route is approximately 490 kilometers long and takes around 2 days to complete. This route passes through high-altitude mountain passes like Rohtang Pass, Baralacha La, and Tanglang La, which offer breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and rugged landscapes. However, this route can be challenging and risky as the roads are narrow and prone to landslides and snowfall during the monsoon season.
The Kaza to Leh route is approximately 420 kilometers long and takes around 2 days to complete. This route is considered safer and less crowded than the Manali to Leh route and offers stunning views of the Spiti Valley and the surrounding mountains. However, this route also has several high-altitude passes, including Kunzum La and Lachulung La, which can be challenging to navigate.
In summary, both routes offer stunning scenery and unique experiences, but the Manali to Leh route is more challenging and risky, while the Kaza to Leh route is less crowded and safer. It is recommended to plan your trip based on your comfort level, time of the year, and road conditions.
