One route goes through Chandigarh and another one from Srinagar too. From where your journey will take a start is up to you, it’s all your decision to opt for.
With an extremely stunning sight view of Leh Ladakh, when you see this lovely place at an altitude over 11,400 feet above sea level, you got stuck for some time. Leh Ladakh road trip is just like going to a dream come true, either you are solo or taking a group with you, no matter, Ladakh is beautiful in a dramatic way for everyone who visits here at once.
Obviously, you get tired somewhere throughout your journey because it is self-driven and a long way but it doesn’t stop your enthusiasm anyway. If I covenant you that your Leh Ladakh road trip will be full of excitement and adventure, then it would not be wrong to say so.
To reach finally at Leh Ladakh, you have two ways to choose for- one way goes from Srinagar and next from Manali to Ladakh.
In fact, when you the right route from Srinagar, you further continue your journey alongside beholding the lovely villages, Lamayuru monasteries, Kargil war memorial, Himalayan valley, and much more. Also, before reaching Srinagar you have to cross the Jawahar tunnel, its length is 2.85 km.
