Dheeraj bhai, as per my knowledge in whole youtube your channel is the best regarding information for Himalayan trips. Boht ache se aap batate ho aur samjhate ho. Keep it up bro..
मई 2022 के फर्स्ट वीक में मैंने इस रूट को कवर किया था,लिंगशेड की चढ़ाई सच मे गजब है। सर मेरा एक सवाल है,लिंगशेड जंक्शन से जो रास्ता राइड साइड में जाता है वो नेरक होते हुए निम्मू में निकलता है,अभी कुछ दिन पहले ही एक न्यूज आई थी कि BRO ने इस रोड को थ्रू कर दिया है,अगर आपके पास कोई अपडेट हो तो प्लीज शेयर करें। धन्यवाद🙏
I am 67years old senior citizen and an admirer of yours. I have the intention to visit Sach Pass from Chamba. But I heard that the said route has been closed by BRO permanently. Is there any alternative route from any side? Please guide. We will visit with our ScorpioN 4x4 and will be accompanied by my son and daughter-in-law. Thanks and keep safe.
Tapan sir, I am humbled 🙏… well the route permanently closed is Kishtwar to Killar cliffhanger one.. Sach Pass route is still open from both Chamba and Killar side whenever it opens in the season..
Hello Dheeraj, Your TH-cam channel and blogs on Ladakh tour are really very helpful. Really greatful for all your efforts. I have a query though. I am planning Leh Ladakh trip in coming July with my family. I am planning to travel by Air thru and from Leh. I want to visit Kargil Dras War memorial site. Do you advise to visit it from Srinagar or its ok to cover it as 1 or 2 days trip from Leh. Is it really worth in that way? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Thank you.. You should be able to cover it from Leh but will need a two day trip.. one day go to Kargil from Leh while doing sightseeing of Shaam Valley.. visit Kargil War memorial in evening and return to Kargil overnight.. next day take the route from Batalik side, visit Lamayuru, Dah Hanu Villages while retuning to Leh
Hi Dheeraj, i am planning solo ride from Hyderabad to ladakh on june 2nd and my plan was enjoying camping, can you pls suggest how far its safe and comfortable at the weather conditions at that time, probably trip in Srinagar to Manali would be 15 days, suggest me how it would be planning camping tent, Most importantly what would be options for washroom or restrooms issue,. Camping with self tent not taking any rented...
For solo trip check this English video for some tips: th-cam.com/video/dZMyucZ30MM/w-d-xo.html For Camping in Ladakh, plz check this video: th-cam.com/video/FThPZQQJIno/w-d-xo.html I will recommend that you split some days in wild with camping while some days in homestays/guest houses to make a balance for washroom and taking a bath.
thank you, very useful! do you have any updates for the lingshed-dibling road under construction? i hope is NOT ready... and won't be for a while... but it was in construction a few years ago already
You you mean Lingshed Junction to Chilling to Nimmu road then well it is thru as far as I know but not yet ready for travel.. may be in 2025 season people may start traveking on it
@@discoverwithdheeraj no i mean a new road that is being built from Lingshed village towards the village of Dibling... the last village not connected by roads...
Dheeraj Bhai… Thank you once again for a very informative video. Do you see Srinagar-Kargil odd/even rule going off by May end? I am scheduled to travel Srinagar-Kargil on 1st Jun.
Many thanks to Sajal Seth ji and Dheeraj ji for the videos on Manali to Padum to Leh and back to Manali. We had successfully completed Manali - Shinku la - Gonbok Ranjgon - Phutgal trek - Padum - Lamayuru - Leh - Manali last week. In fact we avoided staying at Purne as it is at slightly higher altitude than Padum. The number of water crossings from Shinku La to Gonbok Ranjgon and to Purney is reduced and quite easy now. The roads continue to be mostly gravel from Padum to Leh but now there is a by pass to Lingshed and we directly reach Sirsir La without going via Lingshed.
Dheeraj bhai, thanks for your jabardast clarity giving videos. We have reached manali and intend to travel to leh but Darcha ke aage road closed hai, so we are planning to reach LEH through padum. Apke teeno videos dekh liye but since you are the best guide you may further guide us how to reach leh and whether padum-kargil-leh is better or padum-sirsila-leh is better
Dear Dheeraj bhai, Am also planning the trip from Hyderabad our planning route was Hyderabad-Delhi-Srinagar-Leh-Manali-Delhi-Hyderabad in May ending. Please any suggestions regarding my tour plans as well as home stays
Hi, i am also from Hyderabad and planning at 1st june,.my ride is on Activa from Hyderabad to Ladakh via Srinagar, Plz let me know if your travelling solo or with family and what is your mode of transport
Hello Dheeraj Bhai. Loved the content you create. I am planning a trip from Leh - Zanskar Valley and back to Leh. How many days its gonna take as I will be doing this with a pillion.
thank you bhai... can you provide little more detail on what all you want to cover? Like how you reaching Leh, are you doing any sightseeing in Ladakh or not?
@@discoverwithdheeraj I am in Leh from past 3 days and wanted to go to Zanskar valley . But dnt want to go back to Kargil and then Zanskar to leh . Wanted to know if I can do Leh to Zanskar Valley directly
Yes the route from Leh to Sirsirla to Singela to Padum can be used to go directly to Padum without going to Kargil.. the route I explained in this video.. so you can do is Leh to Lamayuru Lamayuru to Padum via Singeyla (this video) Padum local sightseeing Padum to Purne (Phuktal trek) Then from Purne you have choice to koce towarss Manali via Shinkula or return back same route or take Pensila Kargil road
Hello Dheeraj, Since flight ticket from Leh became expensive, planing to return Mumbai from Srinagar by late evening flight on 24th July at 20.10. Can we start our travel from Leh to Srinagar on 23Rd July, take one night halt at Kargil and start our journey from Kargil to Srinagar on 24th Morning..... purpose of checking is , is there any risk of road closures in zozila pass due to rains and landslide during that period....thanks in advance for your help 🙏
Well, usually it is OK time to travel. But so far down, no one can do predictions of rains. Unless it heavily rains, road will be kept open or close intermittently only. Also you cannot think that much because this thing can happen on any day.
Hi Dheeraj, I find your videos quite informational. I wanted to know 2 things for my plan to travel in late June-Early July 1. Will I get to see the Snow clad mountains and landscapes in the month of June and July? 2. Will I get to see the Darang durung Glaciar in its full glory. 3. What Should I expect during my visit. I am not driving(will hire a taxi)
Great video !! Very Best video about Padum to Leh New Road !! 🤩🤩🤩 What is the best month to drive with a motorbike on this new roads? I have been to Nubra Valley and Lamayuru with Royal Enfield in the past (May. 2013 and May. 2018), but I have never been to Zanskar, so this was very helpful.
Thanks so much Dheeraj jee.I am planning to go solo to Zanskar valley this July.Your videos are great and highly informative and will help me in planning this ride perfectly.Thanks a ton 😊
Hello, good morning sir I’ve watched many of your videos. I am from Mumbai my name is Bhavik me and my friends are planning Mumbai-Ladakh trip in first week of August. Is it a good time to plan the trip in August? I’ve seen your Aug video. But I want to know more details. We are going to ride on Royal Enfield classic bikes. A lot of doubts are coming in mind should we do it in August or should we wait. As per your experience what is the best time to ride Ladakh? Kindly reply please please I seek your guidance. Thank you.
Dheeraj bhai, kindly help me with this. Is we are doing spiti circuit from shimla side. Do we need to have permit for rohtaang paas and manali green tax.. Kindly let me know what all permits needed for spiti circuit from shimla side in june
Since 2021 end of season, Indian do not need any permit anymore in Ladakh for regular sightseeing. You just need to pay the Ladakh Environment Fee on the website and carry the receipt of it. Here is the link where you need to pay it: www.lahdclehpermit.in/register-as-domestic Current Ladakh environment fees are broken down as following: 1. Environment Fee = Rs 400 one time 2. Wildlife Fee/Something = Rs 20 per day 3. Red Cross Fee = Rs 50 one time but Optional, you don’t need to pay if you don’t want to. DO NOT confuse environment fee receipt with permit. You just need to carry this fee receipt, hard copy or soft copy. This receipt will be checked at various checkposts. Hence, people are confusing it with permit but this is just verification that you have paid the fees.
bhai depend karega ki aapki bike kitna milegae deti hai.. waise need padni nahin chahiye.. also Padum aur Leh k beech mein jab Wanla se bahar Srinagar Leh Highway par miloge to wahan Khaltsi par ek petrol pump bhi hai
Back in 2020, when this route was opened for the first time for road travel by completing the road connectivity beyond Lingshed and Padum along the Zanskar river, I was one of the first bikers to cross it and did the complete circuit of Leh-Wanla-Lingshed-Padum-Pensila-Kargil-Leh . Since, it was a covid year, no tourists were being allowed beyond Zangla into Padum, I was fortunate to have arrived overthere right at the time when the COVID test facility had been established to test and allow tourists to enter the place. The route was completely desolate and even some Ladakhis coming in their vehicles were visiting it for the first time. So, I am a pioneer in one way on this route.
Rohan bhai, wonderful to hear the experience from the pioneer of the route.. I am sure must have been like a cloud9 type of a feeling doing such an adventurous route as one of the first timers... Kudos to your high adventure spirit bhai...
@@discoverwithdheeraj yes, if one is looking for a very offbeat route in Ladakh, then this is the one. It is almost like time travel as modern infrastructure and influences have still not touched this route and the villages along this route, like Photoksar and Lingshed, seem to be straight out of a history book as they remain completely untouched. (there are no modern buildings and Photoksar, like its name sounds, is quite photogenic too) This route is also quite adventurous as all the roads are muddy and kutcha, rugged mountains all around with no valleys and hardly any villages where one can go to. These days, its become difficult to get the feeling of loneliness even in many places of Ladakh but this route will definitely offer you a completely lonely feeling especially if you go in an off season or in the time of a lockdown like I did.
Hello Dheeraj ji Last year i travelled to leh - nubra - pangong - hanle via chusul and then to manali Pangong to Hanle was adventurous as i was with my wife only and had no other car with us Now do you recommend me to go Manali - padum - leh ( via lingshed ) Just me and my wife and no other car with us Is it safe enough ?
Karan bhai, this one will be more challenging and remote than that Pangong Hanle route surely.. you have the experience of such remoteness and you can understand if things go wrong then it could go very wrong there.. if you can find company, it is always peaceful to mind
Dheeraj ji Namaskar. Aap ka video dekte hue inspire hoke hum do adult plan kiya hay September ki end mein yeh route jane ke liye lekin ek baat TATA Tigor petrol version car leke Jispa se Padum aur Padum se aap ka bana hua route hum do aadmi with driver wow gari leke ja sakta hay. Please inform me. Thanks.
Bhai ji mai apko 2014 se follow kr rha hu or apki dil se izzat krta hu but apne Abhi latest bola hai apne apni video m ki Ladakh circle ke liye koi b permit/permission ki need nhi hai. But Aaj meri Leh local se baat hui hai vo bola ki permit/permission ki need hai Ladakh circle krne ke liye. To pls clear kro 🙏
Thank you bhai .. aap mera ye wala video dekhein aapko samjh aajaayega Step-by-Step Guide: Pay Leh Ladakh Environment Fee Online | Apply Leh Ladakh Permits Online: th-cam.com/video/iYbOL49E_6k/w-d-xo.html Local jis se aapki baat hui hai vo Environment fee ko permit se confusion kar raha hai hai
You will find some homestays in Wanla surely as it used to be one the parts of couple of important trekking routes earlier. I will recommend that you stretch a bit and move to Lamayuru for that stay instead of Wanla.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks Dheeraj for your prompt response. Actually we are planning to start from Leh afternoon and reach up to Wanla by evening, so that we have a full next day to reach Padum considering the road conditions and we on bikes .Your video has particularly been helpful🙂 . Plan is to spend few days in Padum and then reach Leh via Sinkula Pass and Sarchu.
Hi Dheeraj, I have one more query for which I need your help. Are there any stay options after Wanla before Padum...like in Photoksar or Lingshed.?? I am just reconsidering leaving Leh on the same day of arrival for acclimatization reasons. So we may leave Leh for Padum the next day.
Well, there will be homestays in Photoskar and Lingshed.. both will need some detours to travel to these villages from the main route. If you want to leave Leh on the same day, I will not recommend going beyond Alchi or Uley or at max Wanla.
hi there, do you know if there are buses or shared taxis from Leh to Lingshed? Or do I still have to go via Kargil when using public transport to get to Zanskar from Leh?
V r in drass now. Came by bike. Now v want to go leh... is the road between kargil and leh good and safe?? Oxygen issues there while travelling?? Now its snowing in drass- kargil.
TATA Tigor ka ground clearance bahut jyada nahi hay bas two passengers ke liye koi dikkat hoga ki nahi. Saman vhi jyada nahi just two small luggage with two back packs.
Dheeraj ji we 2 persons are planning first reach to Jispa n/s. Second day Jispa to Padum via Sinkhula and Gonbo Rangan night stay at Padum. Third day we want to cover Murugum la top, Singe la, Sirsila,Wanla village and enter Nimu with a new route. In this route that Tata Tigor will enough for two persons. So let know from you.
Please check about the new route update: Ladakh, Spiti & Zanskar Trip in June 2024 - Latest June Updates, Road Status, Weather, Bike Rates th-cam.com/video/_B0-3GNgAYA/w-d-xo.html The new route does not go through Sirsir La - Wanla if you want to cover it after seeing the update in my video about the new route.
Sir, I've started watching your videos recently and finding them very informative. I live in Kolkata. I'm planning a self driven road trip to Ladakh this September with wife & son. I intend to cover Zanskar region and eastern Ladakh (Hanle area). I'll take the Manali-Darcha-Padum route to enter Zanskar. Kindly advise in order to reach Leh from Padum, which route will be more scenic? Padum-Kargil-Leh OR Padum-Sirsirla-Nimmo-Leh? Then Leh-Hanle via Pangong Tso. While visting Hanle area, which route should I take, the one near LAC or the inland routes? Idea is to visit Umlingla. Then to proceed to Tso Moriri and from there to Manali. I've visited Ladakh (Leh, Panging Tso, Tso Moriri) and Spiti valley (Shimla-Kaza-Gramphu via Kunzum pass) on self drive before. So I have some idea of the climate and roads there. Duration of trip Kolkata-Kolkata will be 20-22 days. FYI, Kolkata-Delhi takes 2 days by road, daytime driving only. Thank you.
Day 1 - Reach Manali Day 2 - Manali Jispa Day 3 - Jispa to Shinkula to Purne Day 4 - Day trek to Phuktal Monastery and reach Padum Day 5 - Padum Rest and local sightseeing Day 6 - Padum to Singey La to Sirsir La to Lamayuru Day 7 - Lamayuru - Sham Valley - Leh Day 8 - Leh rest and local sightseeing Day 9 - Leh to Nubra - Hunder and Diskit Day 10 - Nubra to Pangong Lake Day 11 - Pangong to Hanle Day 12 - Hanle Umling La Hanle Day 13 - Hanle to Tso moriri Day 14 - Tso Moirir to Tso Kar to Sarchu Day 15 - Sarchu to Manali Day 16 - Leave Manali
Or another alternate one Day 1 - Reach Manali Day 2 - Manali Jispa Day 3 - Jispa to Shinkula to Purne Day 4 - Day trek to Phuktal Monastery and reach Padum Day 5 - Padum Rest and local sightseeing Day 6 - Padum to Singey La to Sirsir La to Lamayuru Day 7 - Lamayuru - Sham Valley - Leh Day 8 - Leh rest and local sightseeing Day 9 - Leh to Terido Village stay at Cho House Day 10 - Terido to Teriphu Village trip, rest enjoy there(optional) Day 11 - Terido to Hanle Day 12 - Hanle Umling La Hanle Day 13 - Hanle to Tso moriri Day 14 - Tso Moirir to Tso Kar to Sarchu Day 15 - Sarchu to Manali Day 16 - Leave Manali
Probably you are talking about the Nerak road, which just got joined. That is the road that will connect Leh with Padum if you take right from Lingshed junction instead of left turn. In this video where I talk about this part, there is visible stop sign which is the road that you may be talking here.. it is connected but not yet condusive to travel.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Means i shall get the fun of the original Padum- Lamayuru- Leh road we get to see in various blogs without any byepass / shortcut if i travel this month.
There is a section where the river flows very close to the road n if we start late, we have to pass through the Zanskar river overflowing on the road. Here the river flows to the right side of the road. By which time we should cross this stretch?
You should pass that section by 10 AM or early. So, ideally if you leave by 7 AM from Padum you should be good to travel, rest depends on season as well.
Dheeraj bhai ladakh (Srinagar) vale raste ka koi update, waha tourist ko aage nahi jane de rahe hai bike par sab return aa rahe hai hum 20 may ko jane ki soch rahe hai koi updates mile to…..
Check with Nobu bhai +91 94693 69109 for any Zanskar tour travel services. He runs Omasila hotel too in Padum. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Or you can check with Lobsang bhai from Gakyi Hotel Padum at +91 6006414598 ,+916006939945, +91 9484263113
Yes snow clearance is done but road not yet declared safe for travel.. hoping in next 7-10 days they may declare as weather prediction are clear and dry weather now.. fingers crossed
Hey Hi Dheeraj: We have a plan to travel from Hyderabad. We thought of the route Hyd-Delhi-Srinagar-Leh-Manali-Delhi- Hyderabad. Will this work?? Or if there are any suggestions pls suggest…
Srinagar to Leh is open for one way traffic. Even Dates, traffic is allowed from Sonamarg/Srinagar side to Kargil and on odd dates traffic allowed from Kargil/Minamarg towards Sonamarg/Srinagar side. 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. Manali Leh Highway is yet to open but by the time you planning and come down to Manali Leh, it should open in June
yes.. kaafi road conditions kharaab hain aajkal is route par.. construction work chal raha hai to thoda aur kharab hui hai.. 1-2 saal mein aur better ho jaayega

As per your experience what is the best time to ride Ladakh?
Kindly reply please please I seek your guidance.
Thank you.
It would be a great help for us if you help planning the itinerary.
Our trip is for 15 days
August, I do not recommend for a road trip to Ladakh.. better plan in September
Dheeraj bhai, kindly help me with this.
Is we are doing spiti circuit from shimla side. Do we need to have permit for rohtaang paas and manali green tax.. Kindly let me know what all permits needed for spiti circuit from shimla side in june
My name is Dheeraj buddy 😀.. well no permit is needed to visit Spiti Valley for Indians
@@discoverwithdheeraj oops thanks bro.. 😊
Juley Dhiraj bhai
Nice video
Manali to padum road kab open honge
Any update
Bhai road to open hai but one way traffic chal raha hai alternate days par
Ok Dhiraj bhai
Thank you for update
Jhulley Dheeraj bhai,
agr delhi se rented taxi le jaye leh to allowed hogi? ya rented taxi with driver le jaye to wo allowed hai leh me?
Agar taxi hai with yellow plate outside of Leh then vo allowed nahin hogi Ladakh mein sightseeing par
Please inform about new neraq yulching sinnge la route, please update
Dheeraj bhai, i am traveling to Leh-Ladakh in June. Can you please guide me on the permit thing? Is the online permit sufficient this year?
Since 2021 end of season, Indian do not need any permit anymore in Ladakh for regular sightseeing. You just need to pay the Ladakh Environment Fee on the website and carry the receipt of it. Here is the link where you need to pay it: www.lahdclehpermit.in/register-as-domestic
Current Ladakh environment fees are broken down as following:
1. Environment Fee = Rs 400 one time
2. Wildlife Fee/Something = Rs 20 per day
3. Red Cross Fee = Rs 50 one time but Optional, you don’t need to pay if you don’t want to.
DO NOT confuse environment fee receipt with permit. You just need to carry this fee receipt, hard copy or soft copy. This receipt will be checked at various checkposts. Hence, people are confusing it with permit but this is just verification that you have paid the fees.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks a lot Bhai
Sir g hello, agar manali se padum tak bike ka tank full karke aaye and padum par tank full karke leh tak jaaye to beech me fuel ki need padegi kya.
bhai depend karega ki aapki bike kitna milegae deti hai.. waise need padni nahin chahiye.. also Padum aur Leh k beech mein jab Wanla se bahar Srinagar Leh Highway par miloge to wahan Khaltsi par ek petrol pump bhi hai
Back in 2020, when this route was opened for the first time for road travel by completing the road connectivity beyond Lingshed and Padum along the Zanskar river, I was one of the first bikers to cross it and did the complete circuit of Leh-Wanla-Lingshed-Padum-Pensila-Kargil-Leh . Since, it was a covid year, no tourists were being allowed beyond Zangla into Padum, I was fortunate to have arrived overthere right at the time when the COVID test facility had been established to test and allow tourists to enter the place.
The route was completely desolate and even some Ladakhis coming in their vehicles were visiting it for the first time. So, I am a pioneer in one way on this route.
Rohan bhai, wonderful to hear the experience from the pioneer of the route.. I am sure must have been like a cloud9 type of a feeling doing such an adventurous route as one of the first timers... Kudos to your high adventure spirit bhai...
@@discoverwithdheeraj yes, if one is looking for a very offbeat route in Ladakh, then this is the one. It is almost like time travel as modern infrastructure and influences have still not touched this route and the villages along this route, like Photoksar and Lingshed, seem to be straight out of a history book as they remain completely untouched. (there are no modern buildings and Photoksar, like its name sounds, is quite photogenic too) This route is also quite adventurous as all the roads are muddy and kutcha, rugged mountains all around with no valleys and hardly any villages where one can go to. These days, its become difficult to get the feeling of loneliness even in many places of Ladakh but this route will definitely offer you a completely lonely feeling especially if you go in an off season or in the time of a lockdown like I did.
100 % in agreement.. one of those remote places yet where there isn’t that kinda number of people and you can get that amazing feeling of solitude
Dheerajbhai and Rohankbhai, salute to you both.
I am trying to go on this route 1st June.
Please pray for me.
Bhai you will have fun filled trip
Hello Dheeraj ji
Last year i travelled to leh - nubra - pangong - hanle via chusul and then to manali
Pangong to Hanle was adventurous as i was with my wife only and had no other car with us
Now do you recommend me to go Manali - padum - leh ( via lingshed )
Just me and my wife and no other car with us
Is it safe enough ?
Karan bhai, this one will be more challenging and remote than that Pangong Hanle route surely.. you have the experience of such remoteness and you can understand if things go wrong then it could go very wrong there.. if you can find company, it is always peaceful to mind
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks for the promt reply.
Are the things same on the padum kargil route too ??
Yes Karan there was timing till last week for one way traffic on that route too

Hello Dheeraj ji .. for vechile movement pass we have to do the permit in same offline office where we will do inner line permit?
Thanks
There is no Vehicular movement pass and there is no permit needed in Ladakh now. You just pay online environment fee
Bhai ji mai apko 2014 se follow kr rha hu or apki dil se izzat krta hu but apne Abhi latest bola hai apne apni video m ki Ladakh circle ke liye koi b permit/permission ki need nhi hai. But Aaj meri Leh local se baat hui hai vo bola ki permit/permission ki need hai Ladakh circle krne ke liye. To pls clear kro 🙏

Hi, Have you made video on Zanskar river frozen waterfall ? Which month do you suggest.
No sir, no video on frozen waterfall or Chadar trek but I can connect you with right reliable people if you want.
Thanks Dheeraj for this informative and helpful post. I wanted to know if there are stay options available in Wanla. Please share
You will find some homestays in Wanla surely as it used to be one the parts of couple of important trekking routes earlier. I will recommend that you stretch a bit and move to Lamayuru for that stay instead of Wanla.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks Dheeraj for your prompt response. Actually we are planning to start from Leh afternoon and reach up to Wanla by evening, so that we have a full next day to reach Padum considering the road conditions and we on bikes .Your video has particularly been helpful🙂 . Plan is to spend few days in Padum and then reach Leh via Sinkula Pass and Sarchu.
Hi Dheeraj, I have one more query for which I need your help. Are there any stay options after Wanla before Padum...like in Photoksar or Lingshed.?? I am just reconsidering leaving Leh on the same day of arrival for acclimatization reasons. So we may leave Leh for Padum the next day.
Well, there will be homestays in Photoskar and Lingshed.. both will need some detours to travel to these villages from the main route. If you want to leave Leh on the same day, I will not recommend going beyond Alchi or Uley or at max Wanla.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks so much Dheeraj. Appreciate !!
hi there, do you know if there are buses or shared taxis from Leh to Lingshed? Or do I still have to go via Kargil when using public transport to get to Zanskar from Leh?
You may get shared taxi going to Padum from Leh but no buses yet as far as I know.
thank you!@@discoverwithdheeraj
I’m planning a road trip from Kargil to padum to Leh. Do we easily get a rented cab in Kargil?Any permit required on this route?
No permit is needed on this route, you can get a taxi easily from Kargil taxi stand for drop to Padum and Padum taxi stand for drop to Leh
V r in drass now. Came by bike. Now v want to go leh... is the road between kargil and leh good and safe?? Oxygen issues there while travelling?? Now its snowing in drass- kargil.
I hope you are safely in Leh now.

Sir, I've started watching your videos recently and finding them very informative. I live in Kolkata. I'm planning a self driven road trip to Ladakh this September with wife & son. I intend to cover Zanskar region and eastern Ladakh (Hanle area). I'll take the Manali-Darcha-Padum route to enter Zanskar. Kindly advise in order to reach Leh from Padum, which route will be more scenic? Padum-Kargil-Leh OR Padum-Sirsirla-Nimmo-Leh? Then Leh-Hanle via Pangong Tso. While visting Hanle area, which route should I take, the one near LAC or the inland routes? Idea is to visit Umlingla. Then to proceed to Tso Moriri and from there to Manali. I've visited Ladakh (Leh, Panging Tso, Tso Moriri) and Spiti valley (Shimla-Kaza-Gramphu via Kunzum pass) on self drive before. So I have some idea of the climate and roads there. Duration of trip Kolkata-Kolkata will be 20-22 days. FYI, Kolkata-Delhi takes 2 days by road, daytime driving only. Thank you.

Heard a new 160 feet long bridge has come up. Is the route you mentioned travels through the new bridge?
Kindly confirm.
Probably you are talking about the Nerak road, which just got joined. That is the road that will connect Leh with Padum if you take right from Lingshed junction instead of left turn. In this video where I talk about this part, there is visible stop sign which is the road that you may be talking here.. it is connected but not yet condusive to travel.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Means i shall get the fun of the original Padum- Lamayuru- Leh road we get to see in various blogs without any byepass / shortcut if i travel this month.
No, you can take the other route I mentioned in this video
I am planing car tour this May, 2023. Can my Swift negotiate the route? Advance thanks for your advice.
If you have good experience of driving in tough conditions/dirt roads/high gradient roads then only take a low GC car on this route else avoid..
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you very much
Sir ye ruite kab open Goga main 17 may plan kr rha tha is ruite ke liye waya Manali shinkula Padam leh
Open hai bhai abhi ye route but shinkula se padum one way traffic allowed hai abhi alternate days par
There is a section where the river flows very close to the road n if we start late, we have to pass through the Zanskar river overflowing on the road. Here the river flows to the right side of the road.
By which time we should cross this stretch?
You should pass that section by 10 AM or early. So, ideally if you leave by 7 AM from Padum you should be good to travel, rest depends on season as well.
@@discoverwithdheeraj
i shall be passing during end of this month.
Dheeraj bhai ladakh (Srinagar) vale raste ka koi update, waha tourist ko aage nahi jane de rahe hai bike par sab return aa rahe hai hum 20 may ko jane ki soch rahe hai koi updates mile to…..
12 May ko open hone ka bol rahe hain agar safe conditions hui to is baar.
Thank you Dheeraj Bhai it’s very informative for us..
Sir, which local tour guide or company can arrange this trip for me?
Check with Nobu bhai +91 94693 69109 for any Zanskar tour travel services. He runs Omasila hotel too in Padum. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Or you can check with Lobsang bhai from Gakyi Hotel Padum at +91 6006414598 ,+916006939945, +91 9484263113

Hi bro iam also travelling hyd to leh which time ur travelling bro were u from hyd?
We are planning in car.. all routes are fine or will there be any issues. We may travel last week of may?
Srinagar to Leh is open for one way traffic. Even Dates, traffic is allowed from Sonamarg/Srinagar side to Kargil and on odd dates traffic allowed from Kargil/Minamarg towards Sonamarg/Srinagar side. 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.
Manali Leh Highway is yet to open but by the time you planning and come down to Manali Leh, it should open in June
