Now as of May 2024, you will find petrol pumps at 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
Hi Dheeraj, Many thanks to you for the brilliant content on YT and your website. The information was invaluable for our Ladakh trip. We were pleasantly surprised to learn of the new petrol pump in Nyoma enroute to Hanle last week. If possible please do consider updating the information on your website (which we read through extensively). It's a great alternative to YT and a real treasure house of information.

Hi I’m from Srilanka My husband and I are coming to India next month for Swedish Embassy work. We both decided to go for a bike trip from Manali to Leh but the Srilankan passport holder mentioned that we can’t get Ladakh permit online so how can we get that permit?
Hi I want to travel to Ladakh region covering LEh and then diskit nubra turtuk then directly to pangong hanle umingla tsomiriri and ecmxit to manali highway without coming back to leh. Can you give me best iteneary and how much fuel I have to carry. I will be travelling in my Diesel Thar 4x4
you leave no detail left. only someone with a passion can be so dedicated. i respect your efforts. and yes, i found my answer to leh-nubra(op baba temple)-pangong-tso moriri-hanle-umling la-manali route, so thank you for the kind info. cheers.
One tip if I may add while carrying fuel in plastic containers. Try to avoid direct sunlight on to them. On high passes where atmospheric pressure is low, the bottle tends to inflate because of the air we filled at lower alitude and creates a pressure difference. Add a direct sunlight to the mix and it only heats up the fuel increasing pressure even more because of the traped heat inside the bottle. Carrying fuel in plastic container is possible but one needs to be very cautious about it. I hope it helps, cheers :)
thanks for raising this very important point. one correction is that the heat doesn't remains trapped inside the container. the fuel tries to vaporize due to lower outer atm. pressure thus increasing the pressure inside the container. i will remember your point while travelling. the easy solution will be to fill the containers at the leh or other higher places so the near atm. equilibrium is achieved. otherwise, just opening the container's lid slightly on high passes will release the excess pressure.
Hi Dheeraj Bhai. U usually specialise in Ladakh tours, but I think u hv good local contacts all over Himalayan places. Your contacts are authentic as well. Wud request u to share some good local tour operator for a family trip of Kashmir from Srinagar. TIA
wow watched all your videos almost for going to Ladakh next week. very Helpful thanks a lot. The only concern is I am planning to go Leh-Nubra-Pangong-Hanley-UmlingLa-Tso Mori-Leh. You said around 700km without fuel. My bike would need 20L of spare fuel. I don't know how to carry so much. I have an apache rr310
Thanks so much Dheeraj Sir, this video is extremely useful for us as we will carry about 8 ltrs in Plastic Bottles to cover about 750kms. I will carry them empty and fill them from Karu or Tangstey to cover Hanle, Umlingla and return via Sarchu. Fingers crossed, as advised will definitely carry a thin cloth and funnel. Best regards
How reliable is Tangste and Padum petrol pumps? Mine is a Tata Safari with 2 litre diesel engine. My offroutes are:- 1. Srinagar- Sankoo (night stay) - Padum- Lamayuru- Leh. 2. Hunder- Shyok- Pangong- Tso Moriri- Manali. Kindly suggest.
Bhai, Padum one is totally relaiable, there are two of them and then Tangtse is also fully operational and I do not see any reason why in season time there could be challenges there.. So, for Padum one I think you should be OK but then for second route you are looking at about 570 km without any petrol pump
Hello Sir, I want to follow the following rout plan Leh > Lamayuru > Padum > Purne > Serchu > Jispa (To refil petrol) > Tso Moriri > Hanle > Pangyoung > Chusul > Shyok > Leh I have two question 1. Can I do it by Laddakh rented bike as some part is in Himachal Pradesh 2. Petrol availability?
Once you leave Jispa (Keylong to be precise for petrol pump as Jispa does not have any), the circuit till Tangtse after Pangong Lake will be like 670 km and you are looking to 170-180 km if you add Umling La. So, you will be covering this much distance without petrol pump. Hence, you may need to carry it or rely on fue in black. Regarding question on rented bike, the rented bike will be allowed to travel on Manali Leh highway so Ladakh rented bike should be able to do above trip.
Nice video. Have a question...is there any specific drone rules ?....we are planning to reach leh on 16 July...wondering if we shd book any travel planner beforehand or search after reaching there...

Good morning Dheeraj Sir. Thank you for your constant response and Support for travellers..You give detailed informations which are really helpful for us.. We are reaching Leh on 21st May with famy..so can you inform us about the temperature update of Nubra Valley and Pangong?
Sorry brother, haven't really explictly seen it but if it is required for high end vehicle then people have taken those cars so am assuming it should be available at least in Leh if not in remote Ladakh

Hi @discoverwithdheeraj ! Thanks so much for this valuable information which is immensely helpful for fellow travelers. Here is upcoming plan (Mid Sept 2024) to drive to Ladakh from Pune in XUV500. It has a diesel tank of 70 ltrs and I can expect mileage of 10 kmpl beyond leh. I am planning to top up fuel tank (full tank) at below locations. With the latest petrol pump availability at Nyoma and Tso Moriri, I am of the opinion that I need not carry extra fuel (I might carry 20 ltrs to be on safer side though). But thought of checking this with you. Will you please assess and confirm if my understanding is correct, in general? Appreciate your help, as always!! Thank you! Day 7: (20-Sep): Leh - Kardungla - Diskit (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Hunder - Turtuk (Around 206 kms - 5.5 hrs) After lunch and roaming around drive back to Hunder (85 kms - 2 hr) Day 8: (21-Sep): Hunder / Diskit (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Agham - Shyok village - Durbuk (mobile network) - ChangThang entry point (check-post at Tangste - (Petrol Pump - full tank) / Wari La route - Pangong Tso (Around 223 kms - 5.2 hrs) Day 9: (22-Sep): Pangong Tso - Phobrang - Lukung - Durbok - Tangtse (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Erad - Chusul - Sagala (Kaksangla) pass - loma check post (meets Leh to Hanle route), Mahe village - Rhongo - Hanle (311 / 175 kms 7 hrs, loma to Hanle 51 kms) Day 10: (23-Sep): Hanle to Umling la pass (93 kms) - Hanle - Photi la pass (18124 feet) - Chisumle Bridge - Umling La pass (73 kms) (Hanle to Chisumle bridge - 40 kms). Most recommended route:- Hanle - Loma (after Loma left) - Nyoma (Jio network and (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Mahe (check post entry) - Mahe bridge - Sumdo - Tso Moriri (Karzok village) (Mahe to Karzok village 60 kms) (total 155 kms - 5-6 hrs) Day 11 (24-Sep): Tso Moriri (Petrol Pump - full tank) -Tso Kar - Meroo - Moray plains - Pang - Nakeela pass Gata loops Gateway of Himachal - Sarchu - Suraj Tal lake - Upper Zing Zing bar - Deepak Taal - Darcha - Barsi bridge - Jispa - Gemur - Keylong
Dost, if you are carrying 20ltr spare with 700 km of tank capacity after Nyoma petrol pump, you are OK totally..you have done your home work and I think your plan is fine too and makes most sense...
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks so much Dheeraj bhai. Is the petrol pump at Tso Moriri fully operational and is open most of the time? I do not see any information about it anywhere so, checking
@@discoverwithdheeraj oh ok. While I read your statement "Nyoma near Hanle and Tso Moriri (Newly operational in 2024)", I thought there is one at Nyoma and one at Tso Moriri. Thanks for clarifying!! If it helps others, do consider elaborating this point in your appropriate comment
Hi Dheeraj, Your videos are very informative for planning the trips. But, can you please let me know if manali-Leh highway would be operation from June 1st week. Is that a good time for road trip from Manali to Leh??
Dheeraj ji Juleye , I am 64years old and traveling rented bike to Srinagar Leh nubra pangong Leh Manali route.during 12 to 22nd June With tour company THRILLOPHILIA .How should I take care of my health. I am senior citizen . Though I have been on my bike to khardung la in Aug1995, (RX 100),Spiti via kinnaur(Suzuki GS 150)in 2012. My prime concern is health and I am now a days having mostly fruits salads milk curd and 2rotis per day. What best food can I have ? Thanks
Thank you Sir me Himalayan 411 se trip maarne ki soch raha tha 10 litre extra spare rakhna chahiye ye samjh aaya Aur sir puncture problem ko kaise face kiya jaay Himalayan 411 tube tyre waali hai
Well, aapko best rahega ki ek puncture repair kit lekar jaayein with spare tube k saath.. Kuch Slime naam se puncture prevention foam type bhi aata hai aap usko bhi try kar sakte ho.. but best to rahega ki spare tube aur learn puncture repair aur quick fix k liye ye slime jaise kuch products mere kuch doston ne past mein use kar hain
Jabardast information Dheeraj Ji ❤🙏 I have already bought a military standard 20 l jerrycan for my upcoming solo trip in MG Hector. Route I am going to opt is Gurgaon- Manali- Leh- Pangong - Hanle - Umling la - Hanle - Tso Moriri - Karu ( just to get my tank filled) - Keylong - Manali - Gurgaon circuit. I am considering mileage of Hector as 6KM/l. Tank capacity is 55 l. Will a 20l jerrycan be enough? Can I come back to Keylong from Tso Moriri directly with this arrangement? Or in that case, I should consider one more 20l jerrycan?
Thank you Suman bhai... you need to do this circuit for about 800-850 km without petrol pump if you do not return to Karu.. even with returning to Karu, 700-725 km... so I do not think one can is sufficient!
@suman Thakur-hw9rb @SumanThakur-hw9rb can u give me link from where you purchased that jerry can? I am planning to buy 1 for my spiti ladakh trip. Looking for good sturdy.
Hi.. Thanks for ur informative videos.. As per your video.. u said leh - nubra - pangong lake no gas staions in this route. But Google Maps shows that near Nubra Valley there is one petrol pump, and one is on the route of Pangong Lake. Please clear my doubt..
Not sure where you understand that brother.. I said in the video there is petrol pump both at Nubra Valley and Tangtsr near Pangong.. you may be misunderstanding something in the video.. those distances I mention are for KMs on the route you will not find petrol pump.. that takes into account Diskit and Tangtse petrol pumps
Ooh I see, Thanks for clarification. I calculated again and found that Tangtse petrol pump was included. My Bad! I got confuse as Marker at Tangste wasn't placed in map picture.
Postponned my car trip fr Aug to Sep 2nd (or 3rd week) week. Hopefully, may not face any rains issue. shall plan for cold. Am i right.? How about snow threat? It is a crazy plan of mine to ship my car from Chennai to Chandigarh and reach leh via Srinagar & exit via Manali. Outer limit 18days. Dreaming of covering majors incl Siachen. POSSI 16:45 BLE? FEASIBLE? Noted yr petrol , stay guidelines. ( 2 or 3 jerry cans of 20 ltrs). My car is VW Taigun. GROUND clerance 188mm, 2mm short of Creta. Any tips on this?
I think you have made the right choice. Snowfall may happen but it will be short lived mostly and by checking on forecasts those days can be avoided. You have good number of days in hand too. Regarding tips on slightly low GC vehicle, in September since things are dry and roads are better it shall be ok.

One more question Dheeraj Bhai. I am getting my accommodations on all these spots in next couple of days. Just in case if the route I am opting, is not fully open, I may get stuck. What do you suggest. To the best of your anticipation, do you see any challenge , if all these roads will finally be commutable by first week of June?
The chances of these roads being open are very high brother but again no one can say for certain.. Talk to these hotels and all to negotiate a deal that if roads are closed what return can they offer just to keep things flexible..
every hotel I have talked to, have a 7 day cancellation policy. So based on weather, don't wait till last moment - you'll probably loose something, but will hopefully get the booking amount back

Hi. Nice and informative video. In case I am planning the circuit like Delhi -> Leh (Via Manali) -> Delhi (Via Srinagar). This will be a solo trip in car. Can you please suggest the iternary plan and some tips for this circuit. Thanks in advance.
Dheeraj Bhai , in TSO MORIRI only KARZOK village has petrol(local people selling)?? Any other villages that you know near by?? As you said brother,it won't be an issue in mahe-chumathang,NYOMA and hanle..since local people are selling petrol in these places ... But for me, once I reach TSO MORIRI.. ive to reach UPSHI/Karu through TAGLANG LA.. which is around 200KM.. so if you know any places in TSO MORIRI other than kARZOK VILLAGE in TSO MORIRI, it will be helpful

Hi bro....i want to cover nubra valley, pangong and tso murari and exit to manali... which is the best route - Pangong- tso mureri -leh- sarchu-manali OR Pangong-tso mureri- sarchu- manali ? I mean is going back to leh from tso mureri a good idea for exiting the circuit.
Hi Dheeraj Very informative video, keep it up I Have a doubt: I want to start road trip from Srinagar to leh Ladakh and I want to hire rental bike from Srinagar I heard rental bike from Srinagar will not be permitted to ride Please guide
Hi Dheeraj - quick question on this - if i am planning to return via manali to Delhi and from Leh i intend to do Hanley (stay for a night) then TSo Moriri (stay for a night) and then either halt at Jispa or manali before finally heading back Delhi - how much distance will i have to manage minus fuel station - my car will either be a City or Wagon r - could u guide please - also if i carry a Can to keep wxtra fuel on me - would a 20 Ltr one suffice - expected milg about 11/ 12 KMPL
Dheerj bro 7-8 din hai July me manali leh manali ya spiti and most importantly my bujet 18000 kya bheter rhega confused hu sari video dekhe apke but samajh nahi aa rha hai (public transport use only)

If the can is securely strapped and you are confident that it will not drop, then you can put them outside. I am not sure about the legality aspect but i have seen many people doing it

bhai aap video dekhein and I have detailed out that route with petrol pumps.. Apni car ki mileage jo hai uske hisaab se aap asaani se calculate kar sakte hain video dekh kar
Hello dheeraj we are planning ladakh trip in june 1st week...need to know that we want to cover nubra and pangong in one day is it possible to cover it in same day.if not than wat will you suggest..coming through own car...also tell that should we hire any taxi for this circuit or will it be okay for us with own car...travelling will child
No, it is not recommended at all to cover both Pangong and Nubra in one day. Well, after reaching Leh by road, you need to do following: Leh Rest next day Leh to Nubra Nubra to Pangong Pangong to Leh... This is most recommended. But if weather is fine then on Day 3, you can start by 6 AM reach Pangong from Nubra, spend some time and come back to Leh same day to save a day.
hi bro, starting on 1st June frm Chandigarh and reaching on day 5 or 6 to leh going via Manali trip. Each night staying at one location. On day 10 reaching umingla. So just wanted to check if i stop smoking on may 27th to avoid health issues in trip and not smoking in trip. Please suggest it ASAP.

Dheeraj, I heard that one cant book a bike from Srinagar or Manali and ride to Leh, Is it possible to rent bike from Leh and ride to Manali or Srinagar, or is it an issue both ways?
I think I replied.. as of now only Ladakh sightseeing is not allowed but you can use these bikes to travel on the highways.. for local sightseeing in Ladakh you need local Leh bikes
@@discoverwithdheeraj So the issue is only when renting outside of Leh. If one books in Leh they can take it out of Leh and bring it back. Thank you for confirming that. Also do you know any rental places in Leh that we can use. All your answers are of great help. Thank you for that.
Yes..For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com.

Sir, NH1d traffic is one way 14/05/2023 (Sunday) I travel from Srinagar to leh. And next day is leh to Srinagar. But it is frequent change due to road and traffic conditions.
Can Vento sedan do Leh Ladakh …. I have seen Volkswagon organising Leh trip in sedan also my Vento fuel capacity is 55 litre . In case when we want to carry fuel in jerry can … while travelling in Ladakh will petrol pump will sell petrol in jerry can as selling petrol in cans is not permitted in other region . Am planing trip in 2025 … from Mumbai … age 60 will be problem I am physically fit with no alignment or any diseases … pl advice
Sir, there will surely be challenges in a sedan at some routes, you need to drive carefully and with caution on such sections.. also September is favourable for sedan and hatchbacks especially when it is first time in such roads.. petrol pumps do sell them in jerry cans up there but now with Nyoma petrol pump maximum distance that remains on any circuit is 420 km without petrol pump
@@discoverwithdheeraj Mauka mila pata karne ka. Nahin toh I have a known travelling right now, I'll ask him and update you. He will reach Patnitop today
Sir i am planning to leave for leh in second week of june...should i expect all roads opened and will there be many watercrossings as i am inexperienced...kindly revert
Roads shall open by that tome but around passes it will be some bad roads.. water crossings now are very minimal but they can come especially in early season
hello sir..Just saw reel on insta about road conditions of ladakh region 5th may 2023.. He is saying to postpone our plan just because of road condition which was very worst according to him... Can u plz suggest what to do... We r planning trip to ladakh in first week of june.. Very confused 😕 now...
Srinagar Leh is open for bike for one way traffic. 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.
Thanks Dheeraj bhai for this. I am planning to do Nubra, Siachen, Pangong, Hanle, UmLing La, Tso-Moriri, Leh, Manali. I am riding my Dominar 400. How much fuel do you suggest to carry from Pangong to Hanle and Umling La , I mean considering the road conditions.
Bhai I have covered this route above in the video. Basically it is same as Leh-Nubra-Pangong-Hanle-UmlingLa-TsoMoriri-Leh or Manali whichever you are doing, check that section of the video for how much km without petrol pump. Then whatever your bike gives as average, take 20-25% of it.
@@discoverwithdheeraj han bhai woh toh Maine dekha ...I think my question was not clear actually I wanted to ask ki 10ltr fuel carry Krna safe hai, I will not carry more than that. Is it safe to carry on this off road route bs ye poochna tha. Sorry if I confused you.
Bhai yes aapko karna to parega bas use ache se protect karlena agar plastic mein kar rahe ho to.. shayad aapko jyada hi lena padega waise yto but fer local stock jo karte hain unse kaam chalana hoga
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
Hi Sir , thanks for information, I have a scheduled the bike atrip in Ladak about the 28 of May, from Chandigarh and loop Jammu Srinagar Lek Pangong ecc Manali,.I can spend 20 days in India , What do you think about it. Can you suggest a rent bike in Chandigarh o there are other options available. Thanks again Carlo from Italy
Hello Carlo, You can rent bikes in Chandigarh but they will only be allowed you to take it to Leh and then in Leh you need to local Leh rent bike again for sightseeing in Ladakh.

Bhai Siachen is part of Nubra Valley only but I understand you are not going to Diskit.. what you can do is Leh to Siachen Base Camp tourist spot and then from there come back to stay at Panamik or Sumur… then next day from Panamik Sumur to Pangong lake
Thank you sir what about routes around 15 june ....and while returning from siachin to pangong do we will find petrol pump or we have to again come to leh
Now as of May 2024, you will find petrol pumps at 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

My husband and I are coming to India next month for Swedish Embassy work. We both decided to go for a bike trip from Manali to Leh but the Srilankan passport holder mentioned that we can’t get Ladakh permit online so how can we get that permit?
Do you want to just visit Leh or travel to places like Nubra Valley/Pangong Lake as well?
Sir, I have one Q! Is taking Diamox tablet/s that much necessary on Ladakh trip ? or can we keep that just as stocking item ?

I want to travel to Ladakh region covering LEh and then diskit nubra turtuk then directly to pangong hanle umingla tsomiriri and ecmxit to manali highway without coming back to leh. Can you give me best iteneary and how much fuel I have to carry. I will be travelling in my Diesel Thar 4x4
you leave no detail left. only someone with a passion can be so dedicated. i respect your efforts. and yes, i found my answer to leh-nubra(op baba temple)-pangong-tso moriri-hanle-umling la-manali route, so thank you for the kind info. cheers.
I am very happy to know that 🙏
Dheeraj bhai.... Hats off to you.... Bahut hi important jankari di hai aap ne...
Very happy to help bhai
One tip if I may add while carrying fuel in plastic containers. Try to avoid direct sunlight on to them. On high passes where atmospheric pressure is low, the bottle tends to inflate because of the air we filled at lower alitude and creates a pressure difference. Add a direct sunlight to the mix and it only heats up the fuel increasing pressure even more because of the traped heat inside the bottle.
Carrying fuel in plastic container is possible but one needs to be very cautious about it. I hope it helps, cheers :)
Thank you so much for sharing bhai...
thanks for raising this very important point. one correction is that the heat doesn't remains trapped inside the container. the fuel tries to vaporize due to lower outer atm. pressure thus increasing the pressure inside the container. i will remember your point while travelling. the easy solution will be to fill the containers at the leh or other higher places so the near atm. equilibrium is achieved. otherwise, just opening the container's lid slightly on high passes will release the excess pressure.
Thanks for sharing such detailed reply
Hi Dheeraj Bhai.
U usually specialise in Ladakh tours, but I think u hv good local contacts all over Himalayan places.
Your contacts are authentic as well.
Wud request u to share some good local tour operator for a family trip of Kashmir from Srinagar.
TIA
Very Nice information for planning a trip .. Thanks to your efforts for making this video
My pleasure
Thanks a lot Dheeraj bhai, You are helping all, you are doing great job. Your informations are so helpful. 1 can totally rely and plan, thanq so much.
Thank you so very much bhai.. means a lot.
Thank you Dhiraj Bhai for sharing this information
My pleasure bhai..
Thanks for update of fuel pump at ladakh regions.
Always happy to share.. Julley
Thanks 🙏 for this information. A must watch
My pleasure Vikas bhai..
Thank you very much for useful information, details.
Always a pleasure to share :)
wow watched all your videos almost for going to Ladakh next week. very Helpful thanks a lot.
The only concern is I am planning to go Leh-Nubra-Pangong-Hanley-UmlingLa-Tso Mori-Leh. You said around 700km without fuel. My bike would need 20L of spare fuel. I don't know how to carry so much. I have an apache rr310
go with flexible fuel storage. will take less space and are puncture proof.
Thanks so much Dheeraj Sir, this video is extremely useful for us as we will carry about 8 ltrs in Plastic Bottles to cover about 750kms. I will carry them empty and fill them from Karu or Tangstey to cover Hanle, Umlingla and return via Sarchu.
Fingers crossed, as advised will definitely carry a thin cloth and funnel.
Best regards
All the best brother for the trip... where ever you find any fuel, just fill the tank and stock up :)
Are you travelling by bike ???

Thanks 😊

How reliable is Tangste and Padum petrol pumps? Mine is a Tata Safari with 2 litre diesel engine.
My offroutes are:-
1. Srinagar- Sankoo (night stay) - Padum- Lamayuru- Leh.
2. Hunder- Shyok- Pangong- Tso Moriri- Manali.
Kindly suggest.
Bhai, Padum one is totally relaiable, there are two of them and then Tangtse is also fully operational and I do not see any reason why in season time there could be challenges there.. So, for Padum one I think you should be OK but then for second route you are looking at about 570 km without any petrol pump
Thanks for sharing, just thinking about carrying Jerry cane and you shared this video 😅
Ha Ha, serves the purpose of the video :)
Reliable metal Jerrycans purchase link/ shop name in Delhi?
Very nice Deeraj sir

Thank you Vishal bhai
we have left for laddakh on 27th night.
Thanks Dheeraj for this informative series. Can you suggest if we can get metal jerry cans in Leh (sell/rent).
You may get for buying but renting will be only possible with bikes
Very useful video
Thanks to you bhai for sharing so many video clips in this one 😀
Hello Sir,
I want to follow the following rout plan
Leh > Lamayuru > Padum > Purne > Serchu > Jispa (To refil petrol) > Tso Moriri > Hanle > Pangyoung > Chusul > Shyok > Leh
I have two question
1. Can I do it by Laddakh rented bike as some part is in Himachal Pradesh
2. Petrol availability?
Once you leave Jispa (Keylong to be precise for petrol pump as Jispa does not have any), the circuit till Tangtse after Pangong Lake will be like 670 km and you are looking to 170-180 km if you add Umling La. So, you will be covering this much distance without petrol pump. Hence, you may need to carry it or rely on fue in black.
Regarding question on rented bike, the rented bike will be allowed to travel on Manali Leh highway so Ladakh rented bike should be able to do above trip.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for the reply, Hopefully I will manage petrol.
thanks bhai
There is Nyoma petrol as well now

Hi Dheeraj, appreciate the details very informative video. Please can you comment on the availability of XP95 or POWER95 petrol in Ladakh.
Sorry brother, haven't really explictly seen it but if it is required for high end vehicle then people have taken those cars so am assuming it should be available at least in Leh if not in remote Ladakh
Circuit 1 - leh, Nubra, pangong lake, leh
Circuit 2 - leh, Hanley, umlingla, leh
Circuit 3 - leh, tsomori, manali

Hi @discoverwithdheeraj ! Thanks so much for this valuable information which is immensely helpful for fellow travelers. Here is upcoming plan (Mid Sept 2024) to drive to Ladakh from Pune in XUV500. It has a diesel tank of 70 ltrs and I can expect mileage of 10 kmpl beyond leh. I am planning to top up fuel tank (full tank) at below locations. With the latest petrol pump availability at Nyoma and Tso Moriri, I am of the opinion that I need not carry extra fuel (I might carry 20 ltrs to be on safer side though). But thought of checking this with you. Will you please assess and confirm if my understanding is correct, in general? Appreciate your help, as always!! Thank you!
Day 7: (20-Sep): Leh - Kardungla - Diskit (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Hunder - Turtuk (Around 206 kms - 5.5 hrs) After lunch and roaming around drive back to Hunder (85 kms - 2 hr)
Day 8: (21-Sep): Hunder / Diskit (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Agham - Shyok village - Durbuk (mobile network) - ChangThang entry point (check-post at Tangste - (Petrol Pump - full tank) / Wari La route - Pangong Tso (Around 223 kms - 5.2 hrs)

Day 10: (23-Sep): Hanle to Umling la pass (93 kms) - Hanle - Photi la pass (18124 feet) - Chisumle Bridge - Umling La pass (73 kms) (Hanle to Chisumle bridge - 40 kms).
Most recommended route:- Hanle - Loma (after Loma left) - Nyoma (Jio network and (Petrol Pump - full tank) - Mahe (check post entry) - Mahe bridge - Sumdo - Tso Moriri (Karzok village) (Mahe to Karzok village 60 kms) (total 155 kms - 5-6 hrs)
Day 11 (24-Sep): Tso Moriri (Petrol Pump - full tank) -Tso Kar - Meroo - Moray plains - Pang - Nakeela pass Gata loops Gateway of Himachal - Sarchu - Suraj Tal lake - Upper Zing Zing bar - Deepak Taal - Darcha - Barsi bridge - Jispa - Gemur - Keylong
Dost, if you are carrying 20ltr spare with 700 km of tank capacity after Nyoma petrol pump, you are OK totally..you have done your home work and I think your plan is fine too and makes most sense...
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks so much Dheeraj bhai. Is the petrol pump at Tso Moriri fully operational and is open most of the time? I do not see any information about it anywhere so, checking
@prajakt23 no petrol pump at Tso Moriri.. Nyoma will be last on that route
@@discoverwithdheeraj oh ok. While I read your statement "Nyoma near Hanle and Tso Moriri (Newly operational in 2024)", I thought there is one at Nyoma and one at Tso Moriri. Thanks for clarifying!! If it helps others, do consider elaborating this point in your appropriate comment

Jabardast information Dheeraj Ji ❤🙏 I have already bought a military standard 20 l jerrycan for my upcoming solo trip in MG Hector. Route I am going to opt is Gurgaon- Manali- Leh- Pangong - Hanle - Umling la - Hanle - Tso Moriri - Karu ( just to get my tank filled) - Keylong - Manali - Gurgaon circuit.
I am considering mileage of Hector as 6KM/l. Tank capacity is 55 l.
Will a 20l jerrycan be enough?
Can I come back to Keylong from Tso Moriri directly with this arrangement? Or in that case, I should consider one more 20l jerrycan?
Thank you Suman bhai... you need to do this circuit for about 800-850 km without petrol pump if you do not return to Karu.. even with returning to Karu, 700-725 km... so I do not think one can is sufficient!
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you Dheeraj bhai. I will buy one more today. I will also carry four to five coke 2l bottles.

Hi.. Thanks for ur informative videos.. As per your video.. u said leh - nubra - pangong lake no gas staions in this route. But Google Maps shows that near Nubra Valley there is one petrol pump, and one is on the route of Pangong Lake. Please clear my doubt..
Not sure where you understand that brother.. I said in the video there is petrol pump both at Nubra Valley and Tangtsr near Pangong.. you may be misunderstanding something in the video.. those distances I mention are for KMs on the route you will not find petrol pump.. that takes into account Diskit and Tangtse petrol pumps
Sir, Why didn't you included Tangtse petrol pump in any of the circuit you calculated? Isn't that petrol fully operational and reliable?
Bhai, I have included Tangtse and then only calculated this distances... Is there a problem you see?
Ooh I see, Thanks for clarification. I calculated again and found that Tangtse petrol pump was included. My Bad! I got confuse as Marker at Tangste wasn't placed in map picture.

Postponned my car trip fr Aug to Sep 2nd (or 3rd week) week. Hopefully, may not face any rains issue. shall plan for cold. Am i right.? How about snow threat?

I think you have made the right choice. Snowfall may happen but it will be short lived mostly and by checking on forecasts those days can be avoided. You have good number of days in hand too.

Hi Dheeraj... fan of your videos... just wanted to reconfirm if RT/PCR required for Ladakh visit.
If not fully vaccinated then yes required within last 72 hrs as per rule but on ground no one seems to be checking them anymore
Govt should ensure one petrol pump every 100 km so tourist r tension free during their entire trip.
One day, hopefully! BTW Nyoma has a petrol pump now so that makes it much easier

Current ladakh COVID restrictions?
One more question Dheeraj Bhai. I am getting my accommodations on all these spots in next couple of days.
Just in case if the route I am opting, is not fully open, I may get stuck. What do you suggest. To the best of your anticipation, do you see any challenge , if all these roads will finally be commutable by first week of June?
The chances of these roads being open are very high brother but again no one can say for certain.. Talk to these hotels and all to negotiate a deal that if roads are closed what return can they offer just to keep things flexible..
every hotel I have talked to, have a 7 day cancellation policy. So based on weather, don't wait till last moment - you'll probably loose something, but will hopefully get the booking amount back

Hello dheeraj we are planning ladakh trip in june 1st week...need to know that we want to cover nubra and pangong in one day is it possible to cover it in same day.if not than wat will you suggest..coming through own car...also tell that should we hire any taxi for this circuit or will it be okay for us with own car...travelling will child
No, it is not recommended at all to cover both Pangong and Nubra in one day. Well, after reaching Leh by road, you need to do following:
Leh Rest next day
Leh to Nubra
Nubra to Pangong
Pangong to Leh...
This is most recommended. But if weather is fine then on Day 3, you can start by 6 AM reach Pangong from Nubra, spend some time and come back to Leh same day to save a day.
hi bro, starting on 1st June frm Chandigarh and reaching on day 5 or 6 to leh going via Manali trip. Each night staying at one location. On day 10 reaching umingla. So just wanted to check if i stop smoking on may 27th to avoid health issues in trip and not smoking in trip. Please suggest it ASAP.

I think I replied.. as of now only Ladakh sightseeing is not allowed but you can use these bikes to travel on the highways.. for local sightseeing in Ladakh you need local Leh bikes
@@discoverwithdheeraj so if I rent a bike in leh can I travel to Srinagar with it? Or is that also not allowed?
Yes, you can rent bike in Leh and go to Srinagar or Manali and come back

Yes..For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com. Gurmat is a dear friend, a reliable and trustworthy guy based out in Leh.

Can Vento sedan do Leh Ladakh …. I have seen Volkswagon organising Leh trip in sedan also my Vento fuel capacity is 55 litre . In case when we want to carry fuel in jerry can … while travelling in Ladakh will petrol pump will sell petrol in jerry can as selling petrol in cans is not permitted in other region . Am planing trip in 2025 … from Mumbai … age 60 will be problem I am physically fit with no alignment or any diseases … pl advice
Sir, there will surely be challenges in a sedan at some routes, you need to drive carefully and with caution on such sections.. also September is favourable for sedan and hatchbacks especially when it is first time in such roads.. petrol pumps do sell them in jerry cans up there but now with Nyoma petrol pump maximum distance that remains on any circuit is 420 km without petrol pump
Dheeraj Bhai, have heard that Tangste only dispenses diesel ? Can you confirm if it has petrol ?
Aah strange.. I will confirm that !
@@discoverwithdheeraj Mauka mila pata karne ka. Nahin toh I have a known travelling right now, I'll ask him and update you. He will reach Patnitop today
what if i want to do from Pangong to Hanle to Umengla pass again to Hanle to Tso Moriri and then exit to Manali?
I have covered that route in the video,
Sir i am planning to leave for leh in second week of june...should i expect all roads opened and will there be many watercrossings as i am inexperienced...kindly revert
Roads shall open by that tome but around passes it will be some bad roads.. water crossings now are very minimal but they can come especially in early season
hello sir..Just saw reel on insta about road conditions of ladakh region 5th may 2023.. He is saying to postpone our plan just because of road condition which was very worst according to him... Can u plz suggest what to do... We r planning trip to ladakh in first week of june.. Very confused 😕 now...
I think i replied you that around passes roads will be bad rest road conditions should be OK
JULE DHEERAJ BHAI COULD YOU UPDATE ZOZILA CONDITION IS IT OPEN FOR BIKE ?
Srinagar Leh is open for bike for one way traffic. 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.
@@discoverwithdheeraj THANKYOU DHEERAJ SIR DELAY IS BETTER FOR ME
Sir please tell, tangtse me petrol abhi milna chalu hai, june2023
Jitna mujhe maalum hai, chalu hai bhai Tangtse petrol pump
Dheeraj bhai, what will be the premium price for petrol in these villages?
Consider about Rs 10-15 in addition per litre on an average may be.. though not 100% sure
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanq Dheeraj Bhai
Thanks Dheeraj bhai for this. I am planning to do Nubra, Siachen, Pangong, Hanle, UmLing La, Tso-Moriri, Leh, Manali. I am riding my Dominar 400. How much fuel do you suggest to carry from Pangong to Hanle and Umling La , I mean considering the road conditions.
Bhai I have covered this route above in the video. Basically it is same as Leh-Nubra-Pangong-Hanle-UmlingLa-TsoMoriri-Leh or Manali whichever you are doing, check that section of the video for how much km without petrol pump. Then whatever your bike gives as average, take 20-25% of it.
@@discoverwithdheeraj han bhai woh toh Maine dekha ...I think my question was not clear actually I wanted to ask ki 10ltr fuel carry Krna safe hai, I will not carry more than that. Is it safe to carry on this off road route bs ye poochna tha.
Sorry if I confused you.
Bhai yes aapko karna to parega bas use ache se protect karlena agar plastic mein kar rahe ho to.. shayad aapko jyada hi lena padega waise yto but fer local stock jo karte hain unse kaam chalana hoga
@@discoverwithdheeraj perfect Dheeraj Bhai, thanks for helping.
Atal Tunnel ke through Petrol ya Diesel jerry can me carry kar sakte hai kya?
No bhai you cannot carry them in Atal Tunnel.. you can carry or fill them at Keylong after crossing tunnel
Just wanted to know if manali..ladakh road is open and..if it is not..can we take the spiti route from manali....
Manali to Leh shall open soon for regular traffic.. it is very close to opening
Do we still need to carry fuel can during our bike trip to ladhak
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
Is there petrol pump operating in Nyoma, between leh and Hanle?
Yes it is now, posted details in my May monthly update
@@discoverwithdheeraj wow great thanks will watch it now.
Sir is mahine manali leh road khulega k nhi
Umeed to hai ki 1-2 weeks mein open ho jaana chahiye..
Hi Sir , thanks for information, I have a scheduled the bike atrip in Ladak about the 28 of May, from Chandigarh and loop Jammu Srinagar Lek Pangong ecc Manali,.I can spend 20 days in India , What do you think about it.
Can you suggest a rent bike in Chandigarh o there are other options available.
Thanks again
Carlo from Italy
Hello Carlo,
You can rent bikes in Chandigarh but they will only be allowed you to take it to Leh and then in Leh you need to local Leh rent bike again for sightseeing in Ladakh. Then you can pick the bike back from Leh and return to Chandigarh via Manali Leh Highway. For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com. Gurmat is a dear friend, a reliable and trustworthy guy based out in Leh.

Sir any information regarding leh to siachin base camp distance or places to stay
Siachen base camp can be done as day trip from Diskit/Hunder in Nubra Vallley
Sir we are not going to nubra leh to siachin then pangong
Bhai Siachen is part of Nubra Valley only but I understand you are not going to Diskit.. what you can do is Leh to Siachen Base Camp tourist spot and then from there come back to stay at Panamik or Sumur… then next day from Panamik Sumur to Pangong lake
Thank you sir what about routes around 15 june ....and while returning from siachin to pangong do we will find petrol pump or we have to again come to leh
Routes are ok via Shyok village and you will get petrol at Tangtse about 34 km before pangong lake
