Nicely described. I had been to Padum via Kargil in the year 2017 & also trekked to Phugtal monastery . It was a memorable experience. Now , opening of the new route for Padum will definitely attract more travelers in this remote area. Than you very much for the well elaborated video.
Thank you so much Kaushik da, it means even a lot when such feedback comes from someone who has already been to these places... and yes, more and more travelers are now going to explore this hidden gem - Zanskar Valley
Hello Kaushik da, apnar comment ta pore khub bhalo lagche, onek bochor age ekbar alap hoyechilo, ar amader ladakh trip 2011 er main inspiration chilen apni
How very timely and useful! At this very moment I am in Padum and heading to Manali in my Jimny. Very useful in terms of Time, Distance and Road conditions. Thanks from a Subscriber!
Dheeraj bhai, Perfect time I get this video... As we had a communicated earlier, I wanted to go by this route on March 27 but now I have shifted the plan in April 25. Hope I would be able to travel via this route this time... Thanks once again !!
Hello Dheeraj bhai. Very good info. Thanks for ur video. Do you have any driver and homestay contacts to share for the Manali zanskar circuit. It will be really helpful

Hello Dheeraj, absolutely fabulous channel and go to guide for anyone planning Leh Ladakh trip. Wanted to confirm if the below route is managable according to you. (breaking it down) Hanle- Tso Moriri lake Tso Moriri Lake- Sarchu Sarchu- Purne Phutkal monastry trek and drive till Padum Padum- Manali Manali-Chandigrah Thanks in advance
Route is manageable and i hope you are taling precautions of acclimatization Manali to Chandigarh is where most hassles are right now. Authorities are working relentlessly to restore normalcy. Lot of washed away road sections between Manali and Mandi, with diversion roads, one way traffic on stretches, etc.. All these will cause delays and it is taking a lot of time to travel between Mandi and Manali especially. Manali - Mandi distance may even take 5-6 hrs to cross, so be ready from mindset. Aug 28, a friend travelled and reported it took him 6+ hrs to travel between Manali - Mandi. So, you may need to be patient as of now. After Mandi, more or less mangeable till Chandigarh without much diversions or road blocks. However, in time to come things will improve provided dry spell of weather persist and this time duration of travel should come back to normal times. Regarding Jammu to Srinagar to Leh, ys the roads are a bit bad in between but manageable. People who have travelled recently reported that some sections in between are bad but rest is all manageable. Especially after Srinagar it is more or less fine barring some stretches in between.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks a lot Dheeraj for this information. Am planning a trip next year either in May24 first half or June24. Am just collecting all the necessary data, planning my budgets, things to carry, etc. We will keep asking you few questions regularly now as your posts are the go to source for our trip plannig. :) Thanks a lot and love your videos !!!

Awesome detailed information. We are considering travelling to Ladakh, and entering via this route. 11 years since we there! The road was almost done till Cha (Padum side) back then. Will be interesting to see the new face of this valley now. Do you have any recommended drivers for hiring a cab all the way?
Glad it was helpful friend! Long time 11 years :) .. It is completely a new place, at least Zanskar will give you still old feel to an extent.. I remeber reading your blog from that time.. yes sure, for drivers you can get in touch with Spiti/Kinnaur drivers, many of them have done this route: discoverwithdheeraj.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/ You can also check with Nobu bhai +91 94693 69109 for any Zanskar tour travel services.

@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you so much! Nobu was infact gonna be my next person to contact. Thanks once again, for being so generous with all the knowledge and resources.
Seeing second comment I see I should have been more thought about explaining exit plan too 😀😀.. Well, after following 4 days plan of itinerary that I shared in video and reaching Padum, you can stay for one day in Padum. There you can rest, go to Karsha monastery in evening. Now from Day 6, you have two options 1. You can move to Kargil in two days staying overnight at Rangdum in between and then go to Srinagar and fly back. 2. Go towards Leh via Sirsirla route (next video that I will publish) with overnight stay at Lamayuru. Then fly out or come back via Srinagar Leh or Manali Leh
Sir, superb video and very informative too. Would you please share some contact details of SUVs in Manali which can be hired for Manali to Padum journey and back. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dhiraj ji, Y r videos r always very much helpful. It was very helpful during my last Ladakh trip.(2016-17). I m planning to visit Zanskar-Ladakh in May last week. I planned my itinerary as below. Will do trip by private Taxi. Day-1. Arrival Srinagar night stay. D-2. Srinagar-Kargil n/s at Kargil. D-3. Kargil-Padum D-4. Padum sightseeing. D-3,4- n/s at Padum. D-5.- Padum-Phugtal-Purne-Jispa. (N/s either Purne or Jispa will prefer Jispa to avoid AMS) D-6. Jispa to Sumdo or Mahe bridge. D-7. Sumdo-Tso moriri-Chumur-Hanle. N/s- Hanle. D-8. Hanle-Demchok-Merak-Pengong-Tangtse N/s - Tangtse (avoid AMS) D-9. Tengtse to Leh. Is this itenerary is ok?? Or i should do changes? Please guide me. AMS is my prior consern. Thanks.
Hello.. thank you for liking my content and am glad it is always helpful!! Here are my inputs: In your itinerary, Day 5, you should break the journey at Purne because after Phuktal trek you will be rushing a lot for Jispa. I understand the AMS concern, but for that you should spend one more night at Padum instead. Day 6, again May, not sure roads may open or at least stable/safe or not but you can try. Also, Sumdo will not have much options of stay, I doubt. Only very basic homestays if at all. So, you have to at least go to either Mahe or Tso Morir which will be cold and AMS wise, it will not be wise. So, better stay at Tso Kar on this day if you want to visit Tso Moriri. OR you can take it easy and go over to stay at Hemis or offbeat Teri village Cho House (check my latest videos on Teri Villages and Cho House) Day 7, it will change after my inputs I believe. Also, I took the Chumur route between Hanle and tso Moriri in September 2023, the road between Chumur to Hanle via Salsal La Pass was pretty bad and muddy. Unless you are used to such conditions and experience in driving.riding, I will say to avoid this route. Day 8, is also unrealistic covering Demchok and going all the way to Pangong Lake. Day 9, will change again. You are trying to cram too much into one trip which I will say either add more days or plan simple.
please mention share car charges per person from Padum to Manali and Kargil to Padum. Solo travelers or a couple cannot hire a full car due to too much cost.
Here are some estimates of full taxi Local sightseeing per day approx 5000, depends which area or monastery you are visiting. Kargil Padum 18K Leh Padum 20K Manali Padum 20 K Padum Purne Padum 10 K in one day. There is no fixed taxi costing from the Union and these are rough estimates that taxi folks charge up there. Consider +-10% to these numbers Sharing basis taxi shall cost around 2000-2500 per seat on these routes.
Hey Dheeraj. I am planning to go to gonbo rangjon in May (19-26). I have planned the trip as below. Do let me know if you wanna add suggestions to this plan please. 1. Driving from Delhi and will straight drive up to sissu and stay at sissu for 2 nights. 2. Leave for Gonbo rangjon from sissu and stay at kargyak for a night. 3. Leave back from Gonbo rangjon and towards sissu again. Hope this is fine from acclimatisation point of view!
Well, I will suggest this stay one night in Sissu, one in Jispa (better acclimatization), stay well hydrated all throughout and you should be fine. Not planning to go to Phuktal Monastery trek?
@@discoverwithdheeraj the trek is on my mind but since going with family it’s highly unlikely we would go for it…. I have a trip to Leh Ladakh in September and while coming back to Manali from there, I have included this trek in that itinerary. I will have good 15 days in hand so will be good 👍.
Hi Dheeraj, Its great to see your channel growing so well and your videos are a boon to every Leh Ladakh/Spiti/Zanskar Trip planner. I have done Leh Ladakh (by flight) in 2013 for a week during which I discussed the itinerary with you and as usual, you helped with information a lot. I am planning for Leh Ladakh this June end or July first week by road and my itinerary is as follows: Day1: Delhi to Solang Day2: Solang to Darcha Day3: Darcha to Leh Day4: Leh Rest Day Day5: Leh to Nubra Day6: Nubra to Leh Day7: Leh Rest Day Day8: Leh to Pagong Lake Day9: Pangong to Hanle/Umlingla Day10: Hanle to Tso Moriri Day11: TsoMorir to Sarchu/Pang Day12: Sarchu to Manali Day13: Manali to Delhi I will be driving by Baleno (4x2 manual hatchback) along with 3 people. I have driven on hills. Please suggest if this is the right itinerary. I have 2 weeks of time. Should I consider going via Srinagar Kargil? Should I change my month of travel? Should I rearrange my places of visit? Can I travel with Baleno to every point I mentioned? or should I look for other options. Our wishlist is Stargazing , Touching Umlingla, Safe adventure Thanks in advance
Thank you bhai, just trying this new medium which people understand more than textual content on blog. Inputs on itinerary 1. Jispa instead of Darcha should be your stay. 2. Day 9 rest Hanle, Day 10 start early and visit Umling La in morning. Better stay at Hanle only but then if you don't have extra day travel to tso Moriri only. 3. It's OK to plan from Manali side as above too. Just stay hydrated. If you wish to explor Srinagar Leh then only go from there. 4. Month of travel is fine. 5. No need to reaarange. 6. Some sections will pose some challenges but follow leave early principle every day.
Sorry Reena, I do not have much references on the self drice car rental folks in Himalayas. I doubt there is any. Most of them are available in Chandigarh or Delhi
Hello Dheeraj ji, we are planning trip in 1st week of June with Tempo traveller, Day 1- Mumbai - Leh flight & rest day day 2. - Leh sightseeing day 3- leh - Nubra valley, day 4 - Nubra Turtuk Nubra day 5- Nubra to Pangong day 6- Pangong to Tso moriri day 7- tso moriri to Leh day 8- Leh to Kargil/sonmarg day 9 - kargil/sonmarg to Srinagar & evening return flight. Do you suggest stay at Sonmarg or kargil considering zojilla pass drive late evening, Please suggest. Thanks in advance !!!
Hi Dhiraj, last year I'd seen freshly tarred new road on the other side of the river beyond purney to anmu village. Any idea if it is or it'll be operational this year for padum bound traffic?
hi, you explained everything Nicely. Also you covered almost every potential question. just want to ask one question, I am planning for Leh in sep, as I am having limited time so should I visit Leh only or by skipping Leh ( already been there once) go to Zanskar valley.
Gaurav, in that case you can do following: Day 1 | Kangra to Jispa Day 2 | Jispa to Purne Day 3 | Purne to Phuktal to Purne Day 4 | Purne to Padum & local sightseeing Day 5 | Padum rest day Day 6 | Padum to Jispa Day 7 | Jispa to Kangra
Hi Dheeraj, your videos about Zanskar Valley are really great and very useful for us. Congratulations. We are Europeans and we are planning an overland trip from Belgium to Zanskar valley by road (1-1,5 month). Our objective is to be in Zanskar Valley by end of August/early September and in Ladakh by mid of September in order to attend Monastery Festival in Leh and around. Our plan is to enter India from Pakistan (as from August 20th) via Amritsar, then to Mandi, Jispa, Skinkula Pass, Purna and finally Padum. We would appreciate if you could tell us a bit more on weather conditions from Amritsar to Padum during that period of the year. Are there still heavy rains and risk of landslides or monsoon season approaching already its end ? Thanks in advance for any comment in that respect.
Thank you for appreciating the content on my channel. Your plan is giving me inspiration now :D ... Well, if you can delay the journey by a week or so while entering in Himachal, it will be much better. Usually with delayed weather patterns now a days, we see heavy rains all August mostly with rains subsiding like towards the end of August. That is not the right time to be in Himachal and then roads from Amritsar to Jispa is where you will face most challenges during monsoon. So, delaying it by a week or two and you plan the trip from Amritsar to Jispa to Zanskar to Ladakh in August end/September first week(ideal) would be much better.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Many thanks for your quick response. Your comments are well appreciated and we will certainly delay by two weeks our arrival in India in order to avoid major weather troubles due to monsoon.
@DevilOnWheelsBlog Yes..... I see that after the Comments.... Thank for Your Reply.... I plan Ladakh for 30 day So I make proper itinerary and proper route how toh go where to go these 30 days. Ladakh trip.
Well, I will give a route plan which is practical but for 30+ days I cannot suggest a fixed itinerary. You have to tweak the below route plan accordingly to have rest in between and relaxed trip. I will include Spiti Valley, Zanskar Valley and Ladakh. Day 1 - Delhi/Chandigarh to Narkanda Day 2 - Narkanda to Sarahan Day 3 - Sarahan to Sangla, Day 4 - Visit Chitkul come back to Sangla for night stay. Can spend a day in Chitkul if you want.

@@discoverwithdheeraj , Ok, thx , just a few questions i will do the Leh- Manali route by motorbike , i will stay also in Jispa, from Jispa i would like to go to Purne to visit Phuktal Gompa. How is the road from Jispa to Purne, is it ok by motorbike or better take a car from Jispa to Purne? If i go by car how long will it take to get to Purne?
Mostly the road condition is dirt track and bad around Shinkula Pass and further all the way to Purne it is all dirt track/metalled road... Answering betwen Bike v/s Car will depend upon your experience with bike ride on dirt track kind of roads. About 5 hrs it may take to reach Purne from Jispa.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks again, i think after coming by motorbike from Leh i will go by car from Jispa to Purne, its more relaxing. What is a good spot to stay the night between Leh and Jispa , i did see Thukje, its close to Tso Kar, and does have a few homestays.
Hmm that is a place or called Tso Kar lake village I think but I generally dont recommend staying in between whole going but since you would have done Purne and Phuktal trek, it shall be OK to stay there. Just stay hydrated. Also arrange the taxi from Jispa stay hotel in advance as it may not have taxis readily available
@boudhayanghosh8592 yes it should be able to unless there is any bad water crossing which is unlikely now.. also when are you planning? Early days can have snow which can be challenge too
I've 4 days in hand after I get done with my hampta pass trek. I would want a slightly slow paced exploration after my trek. Wat is the places you would recommend, how about Rashil-Jispa-Shinkunla and back ? Last year I had been to Spiti from Shimla side and as roads were closed I cudn visit chandratal. After hampta pass trek I'll be able to visit and after that 4 days I've, which is the best dramatical places to visit ? Eagerly looking forward to your guidance
Well, you can plan like Chandratal to Jispa Jispa to Shinkula to Purne Phuktal Monastery trek from Purne Purne to Manali, take overnight Volvo back hom.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks a ton for your recommendation! shinkunla would be better place to go or baralacha side ? Also is thirtan valley more scenic side to visit or would you recommend jispa side , offcourse both places might not be comparable but which one will be your choice for an offbeat experience?
Buddy I want to go to Hanle and Umlingla pass after Zanskar.Have you posted any video about that route.Please guide me if you have any information. Thanks 😅
Bhai after Zanskar, you will be traveling from Leh to Hanle or Umling La, so you can follow my travel guides to both these places in below videos: Hanle Travel Guide: th-cam.com/video/JF6cM_yx3-k/w-d-xo.html Umling La Travel Guide: th-cam.com/video/UOafVdIkAO4/w-d-xo.html
Hello sir ! Your videos are very much helpful for any traveller, travelling towards NORTH. THANK YOU 🙏 I just wanted to know which cars can easily go to Zanskar ?? Route Manali to Leh
Thank you, 🙏 Dheeraj bhai. Waiting for such details regarding Zanskar valley road trip. I have also seen those episodes with Sajal sir. Your video helped us during Spiti trip, finger 🤞 for Zanskar also.. 😀😀
@@amitbibar6127 That wooden suspension bridge is near Phukhtal Monestry. You can see this during your trek from Purne to Phukhtal Monestry (Honey comb Monestry)..
Dheeraj bhai pls make a video in which all the permits of Ladakh come, so that those who come on their own car will not face any problem anywhere in 2023 according to new guidelines
Manpreet bhai, sure, I am planning to record a video on how to apply for environment fees in Ladakh. There is no permit needed anywhere in Ladakh anymore just environment fee.
I have not heard of any rule not allowing them in Ladakh.. Of course the rule does apply Rohtang Pass which no longer you need to cover because of Atal Tunnel opening
Yes, you can stay at the base of Gumbo Rangjon. You can take the scooty but at places it will struggle a bit and will be slow due to dirt track type of roads.
Hello Dheeraj ji u are great . We r planning from Assam in a private car ( csuv) . 2 male and 2 female Route will be Guwahati -Delhi - Srinagar - Leh - Manali - Delhi- Guwahati Is July 1st week from Guwahati. Is it safe and good regarding to road condition. Or it will be rainy and lots of water crossings
I think till first two weeks of July, it is mostly OK to travel because rains/monsoon start creating bad roads/conditions later in July and especially in August. So, it shal be fine.
We are planning on 1st October. We are 8 person team. We will travel by Royal Enfield. Can you suggest the spot where we can camp. We have our own tent
Go prepared with some winter clothing too as October gets cold surely. You should be able to camp around Kurgiakh, Lakhang, Gonbo Rangjon base, Purne village between Dracha and Padum
bhai PAdum se Leh ka jo route hai sirsir la wala uspar Alto 800 struggle karegi, main recommend nahin karunga unless aap bahut experience hai aisi roads par chalane ka
Hello Dheeraj, Thanks a lot for very informative video!! Really very helpful!! Me and my brother are planning to travel this route starting 25th September, 2024 in 350 cc Rented RE Classic from Manali. I have few questions please: Our plan is like this: Day 1: Delhi to Manali by Volvo Bus. Day 2: take bike from Manali and go to Sissu directly and stay at night in Sissu (No stay in Manali). Is it advisable?? or should we stay one night in Manali?? Day 3: Stay at Gonbo Rongjon Mountain Day 4: Reach Purne, trek to and Visit Phutkal Monastery, come back and then reach Padum and night Stay in Padum. After this if time permits, we want to ride to Kargil via Penzi La in a day and come back next day to Padum . We have 7-8 days in total. Please review our itinerary and correct us Also, can we purchase a Tyre Puncture repair kit in Manali, if its available?? Thank You!! Waiting for your quick reply as we have to start our trip in 2 days.
Thank you brother.. here are some inputs On Day 2, stay overnight at Solang Valley instead of Sissu. Day 3, you should stay at Jispa bhai for acclimatization else there is high risk of AMS by directly going to base of Gombo Rangjon Day 4, Jispa to Purne via Gonbo Rongjon Day 5, early morning trek to Phuktal and start for Padum to reach by evening Day 6, Padum rest day Day 7, Padum to Jispa Day 8, Jispa to Manali and take afternoon bus to Delhi
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks a lot bhai. I got your point. Actually as we have limited time, so, as per your experience. can we stay in Jispa on day 2 (No stay in Manali or Soland), then Gonbo Rongjon Base on day 3 and Padum on day 4?? We wish to stay one night at Gonbo Rongjon Base. Thank You!
For hatchback/sedan taking on Manali - Leh Highway, Spiti Valley and Ladakh, I will say Possible = Yes, Difficult = Yes, at some places. You will indeed face few challenges on the route. The hatchback/sedan will increase the level of every challenge even further, sedan is the worst candidate. My suggestion will be to go via Srinagar route as it will help you feel comfortable with the driving, provide more acclimatization and then once you have done the local Leh-Ladakh, then come back via Manali side. Secondly, since you are in hatch/sedan, then you need to drive with extra care as well. There will be some sections on the Manali - Leh highway in which you might need to sacrifice some scratches on the underbelly. Just make sure you do not bump the engine sump (know it before where it is placed in your car). You need to protect it all around the trip. Thirdly, whenever in doubt do not rush into the section rather park aside and feel the section with your foot, see how other vehicles are crossing it and make a planned route in your mind to cross that section. Lastly, you should carry some important essential things for a self drive trip to Ladakh and for it, do check my video for reference th-cam.com/video/GW0crDklBYI/w-d-xo.html Also, I will strongly suggest that you go through and view my video on Spiti / Ladakh Self Drive tips at the links below: th-cam.com/video/Ld-6BgYYCYY/w-d-xo.html
Yes, you can take the Manali bike, do Zanskar and come back to Manali via Leh. No issues in this circuit until you dont plan to go to Ladakh sightseeing to Nubra Pangong or Tso Moriri, you should be good
Hi Dheeraj firstly I would like to thak you for the information. Secondly need help I'm currently in Leh and want to go to Manali can I take this route? alternative road via Leh- Khaltsi- Before Lamayuru trun Left reach Wanla- SirSir la-Photoksar-Singay la- Lingshed - Zangla - Padum- Raru- Purne Gonboranjon- Shingkula- Darcha- Manali. Got info that due to heavy snow in Shingkula traffic movement is alternate days. We are three families. Initially we thought of taking the route via Kargil
Shailesh bhai, you can take this route but yes due to heavy snow up there at Shinku La Pass, there is alternate days traffic allowed. You should reach Padum first and then take rest there, may be take rest at Purne too after Padum. After that travel over Shinkula Pass on designated day for the direction from Purne towards Manali AND make sure of leaving early in the morning. It will be a bit risky at this point, so please take utmost precaution. The route from Kargil to Srinagar over Zojila Pass will remain closed for next couple of days due to avalanches at multiple places.
Hello bhaiji, We really have very less time to ourselves. So if we travel from Manali to padum in the month of October (first week) will it be possible? We are a group of 7-8 people, can we get shared cab from Manali to Padum?
There is no need for shared cab because you already are enough people to hire a dedicated taxi. Shared will be same cost divided by the group. First week of October you can travel from Manali to Padum.
If I start my journey around 8.00 A.M from Padum towards Gonbo Ranjan and visit that place and spend there 1 hour or so,and then again start my journey for Padum from Gonbo Ranjan,can it be possible? What is the distance between Padum & Gonbo Ranjan? How much time does it take to reach Gonbo Ranjan from Padum & vice-versa ?
Soumen da, it is possible to do a day trip to Gombo Rangjon from Padum. It will take about 4-4.5 hrs to reach there from Padum and same time to come back.
Thank You Dheeraj Bhai for such a detailed info on each and every aspect of this route and trip. I have been watching your videos since a long time (Spiti/Zanskar/Ladkah) and now after seeing this we are planning in May last week so please guide us on hiring a cab from Manali for a trip of 5-N/6-D and what should be the expected cost of just the Cab ?

Bhai Please do a video on LEH-HANLE-UMMLING LA Circuit without adding Manali with details of No.of Days Needed and Approximate Cost. By the way Your videos very informative.😍
Amazing video sir, loved it ❤ I would love to go on this trip next 😁 Currently I'm planning a trip for kaza from Manali on bike in starting of may Can you please make a detailed video like this on current road conditions and all. Thank you 😌

Hi Dheeraj bhai, I want to travel from Manali to Padum. Which is the best mode of transport as I dont own a vehicle? And where can I rent cars? Plz let me know!
Your option is to look for a local shared jeep/taxi at Manali taxi stand which will be carrying locals to Padum. These are limited but you can check them over there a day before to book a seat with driver.
Nahin bhai Manali to Kaza May end tak open hota hai generally. Best month depend karta hai kaisa experience chahiye aapko.. mere liye September best time hai
Brother, is it fine to travel to leh via Manali during August end? Will there be issues in Reaching Manali during August end? Starting point is from Delhi! Please reply bro. Planning a trip to leh this year!

Bhaiya hum agar subah 5-6 baje nikle Manali se Shinkhula pass ke liye ... Toh kya shaam tak wapas aa sakte h kya? Mai Burgmen Street scooty se jaana chahta hun... Kya wo possible h?
Hey Dheeraj… As always, thank you for such an informative video. I was really looking forward to this one through Shinkula Pass. I have a few questions for you: 1. On the way back, where should one stop and take a night break? Since AMS will no longer be a concern. 2. Should one stay an additional day in Padum, does it have something to offer in terms of local sightseeing 3. Should the return journey be through Jispa/Manali or via Kargil? 4. On the way from Shinkula, can we halt in camps near Gombo Ranjan instead of staying the night at Purne. If so do you have any suggestions for camps. My apologies for so many questions.
Well, here are my replies: 1. On the way back, you can stay most places. AMS should not be much of a concern when returning unless you plan to spend night right on top of Shinkula which I will never recommend. 2. Yes, stay in Padum. Visit Karsha/Zongkhul/Zangla or just rest, which is equally important. 3. It will be new route if you return from Kargil side, you will see amazing Suru Valley. Watch previous of this series for more details on Kargil - Padum route. 4. You can camp there as well.
Hello dheeraj bhai... Kya mai ye ride November me kar skta hun? Actually maine kafi ride ki hui hain ladakh bhi ja chuka hun but October or November me koi achhi ride karni hai apni bullet par pls suggest Karen kaha Jana chahiye 🙏

Dheeraj bhai kya akela banada jisne pehle kabhi koi pahad per drive nhi ki ho medani jagah se ho vh manali se bike rent pr leker ye ride ker sakta he vo bhi bina kisi group k solo
Harish bhai, main recommend nahin karunga ki aap aisa karein.. better rahega ki Leh pahunch jaayein public transport se and agar try hi karna hai to Leh mein local sightseeing k liye bike rent par le sakte ho.. par aapko dhyaan se chalana padega bahut jyada.

Nicely described. I had been to Padum via Kargil in the year 2017 & also trekked to Phugtal monastery . It was a memorable experience. Now , opening of the new route for Padum will definitely attract more travelers in this remote area. Than you very much for the well elaborated video.
Thank you so much Kaushik da, it means even a lot when such feedback comes from someone who has already been to these places... and yes, more and more travelers are now going to explore this hidden gem - Zanskar Valley

Very good information, but I want to know the distance between Shinkula pass and border of Ladakh
Shinkula Pass is the border of Ladakh that is Zanskar which is part of Ladakh. Are you asking Shinkula pass to Leh?
Hello Dheeraj bhai. Very good info. Thanks for ur video. Do you have any driver and homestay contacts to share for the Manali zanskar circuit. It will be really helpful
For zanskar you can 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.

Hello Dheeraj, absolutely fabulous channel and go to guide for anyone planning Leh Ladakh trip.
Wanted to confirm if the below route is managable according to you. (breaking it down)
Hanle- Tso Moriri lake
Tso Moriri Lake- Sarchu
Sarchu- Purne
Phutkal monastry trek and drive till Padum
Padum- Manali
Manali-Chandigrah
Thanks in advance
Route is manageable and i hope you are taling precautions of acclimatization
Manali to Chandigarh is where most hassles are right now. Authorities are working relentlessly to restore normalcy. Lot of washed away road sections between Manali and Mandi, with diversion roads, one way traffic on stretches, etc.. All these will cause delays and it is taking a lot of time to travel between Mandi and Manali especially. Manali - Mandi distance may even take 5-6 hrs to cross, so be ready from mindset. Aug 28, a friend travelled and reported it took him 6+ hrs to travel between Manali - Mandi. So, you may need to be patient as of now.
After Mandi, more or less mangeable till Chandigarh without much diversions or road blocks.
However, in time to come things will improve provided dry spell of weather persist and this time duration of travel should come back to normal times.
Regarding Jammu to Srinagar to Leh, ys the roads are a bit bad in between but manageable. People who have travelled recently reported that some sections in between are bad but rest is all manageable. Especially after Srinagar it is more or less fine barring some stretches in between.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks a lot Dheeraj for this information.
Am planning a trip next year either in May24 first half or June24. Am just collecting all the necessary data, planning my budgets, things to carry, etc.

Awesome detailed information. We are considering travelling to Ladakh, and entering via this route. 11 years since we there! The road was almost done till Cha (Padum side) back then. Will be interesting to see the new face of this valley now. Do you have any recommended drivers for hiring a cab all the way?
Glad it was helpful friend! Long time 11 years :) .. It is completely a new place, at least Zanskar will give you still old feel to an extent.. I remeber reading your blog from that time.. yes sure, for drivers you can get in touch with Spiti/Kinnaur drivers, many of them have done this route: discoverwithdheeraj.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/

@sandeepachetan544 always a pleasure.. am coming to India in March, may be if you guys around Delhi.. we can catch up 😀
What will be further journey. Like padum to where . If we start from delhi . No limitations fr days
Seeing second comment I see I should have been more thought about explaining exit plan too 😀😀.. Well, after following 4 days plan of itinerary that I shared in video and reaching Padum, you can stay for one day in Padum. There you can rest, go to Karsha monastery in evening. Now from Day 6, you have two options
1. You can move to Kargil in two days staying overnight at Rangdum in between and then go to Srinagar and fly back.
2. Go towards Leh via Sirsirla route (next video that I will publish) with overnight stay at Lamayuru. Then fly out or come back via Srinagar Leh or Manali Leh
Sir, superb video and very informative too. Would you please share some contact details of SUVs in Manali which can be hired for Manali to Padum journey and back. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dhiraj ji,
Y r videos r always very much helpful. It was very helpful during my last Ladakh trip.(2016-17).
I m planning to visit Zanskar-Ladakh in May last week. I planned my itinerary as below.
Will do trip by private Taxi.
Day-1. Arrival Srinagar night stay.
D-2. Srinagar-Kargil n/s at Kargil.
D-3. Kargil-Padum
D-4. Padum sightseeing.
D-3,4- n/s at Padum.
D-5.- Padum-Phugtal-Purne-Jispa. (N/s either Purne or Jispa will prefer Jispa to avoid AMS)
D-6. Jispa to Sumdo or Mahe bridge.
D-7. Sumdo-Tso moriri-Chumur-Hanle.
N/s- Hanle.
D-8. Hanle-Demchok-Merak-Pengong-Tangtse
N/s - Tangtse (avoid AMS)
D-9. Tengtse to Leh.
Is this itenerary is ok?? Or i should do changes?
Please guide me.
AMS is my prior consern.
Thanks.
Hello.. thank you for liking my content and am glad it is always helpful!! Here are my inputs:
In your itinerary,
Day 5, you should break the journey at Purne because after Phuktal trek you will be rushing a lot for Jispa. I understand the AMS concern, but for that you should spend one more night at Padum instead.
Day 6, again May, not sure roads may open or at least stable/safe or not but you can try. Also, Sumdo will not have much options of stay, I doubt. Only very basic homestays if at all. So, you have to at least go to either Mahe or Tso Morir which will be cold and AMS wise, it will not be wise. So, better stay at Tso Kar on this day if you want to visit Tso Moriri. OR you can take it easy and go over to stay at Hemis or offbeat Teri village Cho House (check my latest videos on Teri Villages and Cho House)
Day 7, it will change after my inputs I believe. Also, I took the Chumur route between Hanle and tso Moriri in September 2023, the road between Chumur to Hanle via Salsal La Pass was pretty bad and muddy. Unless you are used to such conditions and experience in driving.riding, I will say to avoid this route.
Day 8, is also unrealistic covering Demchok and going all the way to Pangong Lake.
Day 9, will change again.
You are trying to cram too much into one trip which I will say either add more days or plan simple.
Thanks a lot Dhirajbhai
please mention share car charges per person from Padum to Manali and Kargil to Padum. Solo travelers or a couple cannot hire a full car due to too much cost.
Here are some estimates of full taxi
Local sightseeing per day approx 5000, depends which area or monastery you are visiting.
Kargil Padum 18K
Leh Padum 20K
Manali Padum 20 K
Padum Purne Padum 10 K in one day.
There is no fixed taxi costing from the Union and these are rough estimates that taxi folks charge up there. Consider +-10% to these numbers
Sharing basis taxi shall cost around 2000-2500 per seat on these routes.
Can you also cover Padum to nimmo via the new highway?
That is not yet officially opened and gor closed recently for major repair work .. also road conditions are very bad on it
sir camping k baare mein bataa dena tha k kider krr sakte hein
Jaswinder bhai aap camping kahan k liye puch rahe ho, kya Shinkula Pass or Purne k beech mein ya pure Zanskar trip par?
Hey Dheeraj. I am planning to go to gonbo rangjon in May (19-26). I have planned the trip as below. Do let me know if you wanna add suggestions to this plan please.
1. Driving from Delhi and will straight drive up to sissu and stay at sissu for 2 nights.
2. Leave for Gonbo rangjon from sissu and stay at kargyak for a night.
3. Leave back from Gonbo rangjon and towards sissu again.
Hope this is fine from acclimatisation point of view!
Well, I will suggest this stay one night in Sissu, one in Jispa (better acclimatization), stay well hydrated all throughout and you should be fine. Not planning to go to Phuktal Monastery trek?
@@discoverwithdheeraj the trek is on my mind but since going with family it’s highly unlikely we would go for it…. I have a trip to Leh Ladakh in September and while coming back to Manali from there, I have included this trek in that itinerary. I will have good 15 days in hand so will be good 👍.
Awesome, have a wonderful trip
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks 🙏
Hi Dheeraj,
Its great to see your channel growing so well and your videos are a boon to every Leh Ladakh/Spiti/Zanskar Trip planner. I have done Leh Ladakh (by flight) in 2013 for a week during which I discussed the itinerary with you and as usual, you helped with information a lot.
I am planning for Leh Ladakh this June end or July first week by road and my itinerary is as follows:
Day1: Delhi to Solang
Day2: Solang to Darcha
Day3: Darcha to Leh
Day4: Leh Rest Day
Day5: Leh to Nubra
Day6: Nubra to Leh
Day7: Leh Rest Day
Day8: Leh to Pagong Lake
Day9: Pangong to Hanle/Umlingla
Day10: Hanle to Tso Moriri
Day11: TsoMorir to Sarchu/Pang
Day12: Sarchu to Manali
Day13: Manali to Delhi
I will be driving by Baleno (4x2 manual hatchback) along with 3 people. I have driven on hills. Please suggest if this is the right itinerary. I have 2 weeks of time.
Should I consider going via Srinagar Kargil?
Should I change my month of travel?
Should I rearrange my places of visit?
Can I travel with Baleno to every point I mentioned? or should I look for other options.
Our wishlist is Stargazing , Touching Umlingla, Safe adventure
Thanks in advance
Thank you bhai, just trying this new medium which people understand more than textual content on blog. Inputs on itinerary
1. Jispa instead of Darcha should be your stay.
2. Day 9 rest Hanle, Day 10 start early and visit Umling La in morning. Better stay at Hanle only but then if you don't have extra day travel to tso Moriri only.
3. It's OK to plan from Manali side as above too. Just stay hydrated. If you wish to explor Srinagar Leh then only go from there.
4. Month of travel is fine.
5. No need to reaarange.
6. Some sections will pose some challenges but follow leave early principle every day.
Hi Dheeraj can u pls suggest some good car rental agency for self drive in himalyas
Sorry Reena, I do not have much references on the self drice car rental folks in Himalayas. I doubt there is any. Most of them are available in Chandigarh or Delhi
Hello Dheeraj ji, we are planning trip in 1st week of June with Tempo traveller,
Day 1- Mumbai - Leh flight & rest day
day 2. - Leh sightseeing
day 3- leh - Nubra valley,
day 4 - Nubra Turtuk Nubra

Thanks in advance !!!
Better stay at Kargil.
Hi Dhiraj, last year I'd seen freshly tarred new road on the other side of the river beyond purney to anmu village. Any idea if it is or it'll be operational this year for padum bound traffic?
Bhai I as the road will open, I will keep updating it here.. most likely it should be operational
hi, you explained everything Nicely. Also you covered almost every potential question.
just want to ask one question, I am planning for Leh in sep, as I am having limited time so should I visit Leh only or by skipping Leh ( already been there once) go to Zanskar valley.
Gaurav, by limited time, like how much time do you have for this Zanskar trip?
For overall trip , I am having one week. I will start from Kangra ( Himachal)
Gaurav, in that case you can do following:
Day 1 | Kangra to Jispa
Day 2 | Jispa to Purne
Day 3 | Purne to Phuktal to Purne
Day 4 | Purne to Padum & local sightseeing
Day 5 | Padum rest day
Day 6 | Padum to Jispa
Day 7 | Jispa to Kangra
September first or second week manali to padum route open rahega? Coz I'm planning bike trip from kolkata. Please help sir.
Yes, that route is open in September.
Hi Dheeraj, your videos about Zanskar Valley are really great and very useful for us. Congratulations. We are Europeans and we are planning an overland trip from Belgium to Zanskar valley by road (1-1,5 month). Our objective is to be in Zanskar Valley by end of August/early September and in Ladakh by mid of September in order to attend Monastery Festival in Leh and around. Our plan is to enter India from Pakistan (as from August 20th) via Amritsar, then to Mandi, Jispa, Skinkula Pass, Purna and finally Padum. We would appreciate if you could tell us a bit more on weather conditions from Amritsar to Padum during that period of the year. Are there still heavy rains and risk of landslides or monsoon season approaching already its end ? Thanks in advance for any comment in that respect.
Thank you for appreciating the content on my channel. Your plan is giving me inspiration now :D ... Well, if you can delay the journey by a week or so while entering in Himachal, it will be much better. Usually with delayed weather patterns now a days, we see heavy rains all August mostly with rains subsiding like towards the end of August. That is not the right time to be in Himachal and then roads from Amritsar to Jispa is where you will face most challenges during monsoon. So, delaying it by a week or two and you plan the trip from Amritsar to Jispa to Zanskar to Ladakh in August end/September first week(ideal) would be much better.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Many thanks for your quick response. Your comments are well appreciated and we will certainly delay by two weeks our arrival in India in order to avoid major weather troubles due to monsoon.
All the best and stay tuned for the updates or if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
Hey Dheeraj thanks for the video, I have a question, what was the distance Padum and Kargil, and how was the road conditions???
Check this detailed video buddy for Kargil - Padum Guide: th-cam.com/video/K67At2dEvfM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dheeraj, can we reach Tso Kar lake from Purne in 1 days ?
You can do that just that it will be pretty long day.
Dhreeraj bhai can You tell about
Padum to Purne road?
Bcoz in Google map that's not visible.
I did tell that in the video... Did you see that part? Google does not have the section between Purne to Anmo. I drew that and used the map there.
@DevilOnWheelsBlog Yes..... I see that after the Comments....
Thank for Your Reply....
I plan Ladakh for 30 day
So I make proper itinerary and proper route how toh go where to go these 30 days. Ladakh trip.
Well, I will give a route plan which is practical but for 30+ days I cannot suggest a fixed itinerary. You have to tweak the below route plan accordingly to have rest in between and relaxed trip. I will include Spiti Valley, Zanskar Valley and Ladakh.
Day 1 - Delhi/Chandigarh to Narkanda

Great info , but after 5.12 there are no subtitels any more , can you fix that please?
Trying to get those fixed to an extent
@@discoverwithdheeraj , Ok, thx , just a few questions i will do the Leh- Manali route by motorbike , i will stay also in Jispa, from Jispa i would like to go to Purne to visit Phuktal Gompa. How is the road from Jispa to Purne, is it ok by motorbike or better take a car from Jispa to Purne? If i go by car how long will it take to get to Purne?
Mostly the road condition is dirt track and bad around Shinkula Pass and further all the way to Purne it is all dirt track/metalled road... Answering betwen Bike v/s Car will depend upon your experience with bike ride on dirt track kind of roads. About 5 hrs it may take to reach Purne from Jispa.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks again, i think after coming by motorbike from Leh i will go by car from Jispa to Purne, its more relaxing. What is a good spot to stay the night between Leh and Jispa , i did see Thukje, its close to Tso Kar, and does have a few homestays.
Hmm that is a place or called Tso Kar lake village I think but I generally dont recommend staying in between whole going but since you would have done Purne and Phuktal trek, it shall be OK to stay there. Just stay hydrated. Also arrange the taxi from Jispa stay hotel in advance as it may not have taxis readily available
Hi.
I heard Darcha to Shinku La top is blacktopped now.
How is the road beyond Shinku La? Is it black topped till Gonboranjan?
Not really beyond Shinkula mostly work is under way
@@discoverwithdheeraj
Can a FWD SUV climb Shinkula pass from Gonborangan end?
@boudhayanghosh8592 yes it should be able to unless there is any bad water crossing which is unlikely now.. also when are you planning? Early days can have snow which can be challenge too
@@discoverwithdheeraj
I m planning between 20.05.24 to 30.06.24.
That could seems OK to me unless it snows later in the months.. plz stay tuned to my monthly uodates videos that I start in March every season
I've 4 days in hand after I get done with my hampta pass trek. I would want a slightly slow paced exploration after my trek. Wat is the places you would recommend, how about Rashil-Jispa-Shinkunla and back ? Last year I had been to Spiti from Shimla side and as roads were closed I cudn visit chandratal. After hampta pass trek I'll be able to visit and after that 4 days I've, which is the best dramatical places to visit ? Eagerly looking forward to your guidance
Well, you can plan like
Chandratal to Jispa
Jispa to Shinkula to Purne
Phuktal Monastery trek from Purne
Purne to Manali, take overnight Volvo back hom.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks a ton for your recommendation! shinkunla would be better place to go or baralacha side ? Also is thirtan valley more scenic side to visit or would you recommend jispa side , offcourse both places might not be comparable but which one will be your choice for an offbeat experience?
on map till purne road is shown but after that no road is shown can we go further toward padum on this route
Yes you can go just that Google map is not updated
How difficult it is to cover the opposite route? I mean from Padum to Darcha via Gonbo Rongjon and Shinkula Pass
It is similar in nature from either side
@@discoverwithdheeraj Is Gonbo Rongjon to Shinkula very steep? Can it be covered in a Himalayan bike?
It can be covered with Himalayan bike..
can you pls tell if we can travel zansker in january or not .
I will not recommend traveling to Zanskar in winter time unless you are a very very hardcore adevnturist prepared for all circumstances
Buddy I want to go to Hanle and Umlingla pass after Zanskar.Have you posted any video about that route.Please guide me if you have any information. Thanks 😅

THANK YOU 🙏
I just wanted to know which cars can easily go to Zanskar ??
Route Manali to Leh
Thank you bhai, means a lot.. high ground clearance car will be helpful to support this trip
Is Purne to Manali possible in one day?
yes, like I said in the video, Manali to Padum is also possible in one day so Purne to Manali can also be done in one day.
Can we plan for leh trip in first week may via sringar kargil route
Srinagar to Leh should be open by first week of May
Thank you, 🙏 Dheeraj bhai. Waiting for such details regarding Zanskar valley road trip. I have also seen those episodes with Sajal sir. Your video helped us during Spiti trip, finger 🤞 for Zanskar also.. 😀😀
And one thing, at starting this video 00:24 sec pe ek suspension bridge ka footage hai...woh kaha pe hai..? Is it in Zanskar valley..?
This is awesome bhai.. thank you for support!
That bridge is near Phuktal Monastery and will come when you go from Purne to Phuktal
Thank you 🙏 & All the best
@@amitbibar6127 That wooden suspension bridge is near Phukhtal Monestry. You can see this during your trek from Purne to Phukhtal Monestry (Honey comb Monestry)..
Dheeraj bhai pls make a video in which all the permits of Ladakh come, so that those who come on their own car will not face any problem anywhere in 2023 according to new guidelines
Manpreet bhai, sure, I am planning to record a video on how to apply for environment fees in Ladakh. There is no permit needed anywhere in Ladakh anymore just environment fee.

Hi Dheeraj,
Is cars over 10 years old allowed in ladakh??

I have not heard of any rule not allowing them in Ladakh.. Of course the rule does apply Rohtang Pass which no longer you need to cover because of Atal Tunnel opening

Waat if we stay at gumbo rajan , is it ok? do we get tent facility there ? also can we drive scooty
(Ntorq) on manali to padum route ?
Yes, you can stay at the base of Gumbo Rangjon. You can take the scooty but at places it will struggle a bit and will be slow due to dirt track type of roads.
Thanks for the reply@@discoverwithdheeraj
We will be staying at Padum. Is it possible to tarvel to Purne, view Gonbo Rangjon, and come back to Padum on the same day?
It is possible as a day trip, start early though.
Hello Dheeraj ji u are great . We r planning from Assam in a private car ( csuv) . 2 male and 2 female
Route will be
Guwahati -Delhi - Srinagar - Leh - Manali - Delhi- Guwahati
Is July 1st week from Guwahati. Is it safe and good regarding to road condition.
Or it will be rainy and lots of water crossings
I think till first two weeks of July, it is mostly OK to travel because rains/monsoon start creating bad roads/conditions later in July and especially in August. So, it shal be fine.
Ok thank u its is a nice gesture from u
We are planning on 1st October. We are 8 person team. We will travel by Royal Enfield.
Can you suggest the spot where we can camp. We have our own tent
Go prepared with some winter clothing too as October gets cold surely. You should be able to camp around Kurgiakh, Lakhang, Gonbo Rangjon base, Purne village between Dracha and Padum
Bhai koi bus service 2022 me chalu hone wali the, uska kya hua?
Jitna mujhe pata hai.. abhi koi bus to nahin hai.. main locals se pata karke ek baar confirm karta hu

No permit required and yes you can go rent bike in Chandigarh to bike ride to Shinkula
Can always rely on DOW for most accurate information :)

Hello Dheeraj,
Thanks a lot for very informative video!! Really very helpful!!
Me and my brother are planning to travel this route starting 25th September, 2024 in 350 cc Rented RE Classic from Manali. I have few questions please:
Our plan is like this:
Day 1: Delhi to Manali by Volvo Bus.
Day 2: take bike from Manali and go to Sissu directly and stay at night in Sissu (No stay in Manali). Is it advisable?? or should we stay one night in Manali??
Day 3: Stay at Gonbo Rongjon Mountain
Day 4: Reach Purne, trek to and Visit Phutkal Monastery, come back and then reach Padum and night Stay in Padum.
After this if time permits, we want to ride to Kargil via Penzi La in a day and come back next day to Padum . We have 7-8 days in total.
Please review our itinerary and correct us
Also, can we purchase a Tyre Puncture repair kit in Manali, if its available??
Thank You!! Waiting for your quick reply as we have to start our trip in 2 days.
Thank you brother.. here are some inputs
On Day 2, stay overnight at Solang Valley instead of Sissu.
Day 3, you should stay at Jispa bhai for acclimatization else there is high risk of AMS by directly going to base of Gombo Rangjon
Day 4, Jispa to Purne via Gonbo Rongjon
Day 5, early morning trek to Phuktal and start for Padum to reach by evening
Day 6, Padum rest day
Day 7, Padum to Jispa
Day 8, Jispa to Manali and take afternoon bus to Delhi
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks a lot bhai. I got your point. Actually as we have limited time, so, as per your experience. can we stay in Jispa on day 2 (No stay in Manali or Soland), then Gonbo Rongjon Base on day 3 and Padum on day 4??
We wish to stay one night at Gonbo Rongjon Base.
Thank You!
Can we make leh trip by maruti ertiga
For hatchback/sedan taking on Manali - Leh Highway, Spiti Valley and Ladakh, I will say Possible = Yes, Difficult = Yes, at some places.
You will indeed face few challenges on the route. The hatchback/sedan will increase the level of every challenge even further, sedan is the worst candidate. My suggestion will be to go via Srinagar route as it will help you feel comfortable with the driving, provide more acclimatization and then once you have done the local Leh-Ladakh, then come back via Manali side.
Secondly, since you are in hatch/sedan, then you need to drive with extra care as well. There will be some sections on the Manali - Leh highway in which you might need to sacrifice some scratches on the underbelly. Just make sure you do not bump the engine sump (know it before where it is placed in your car). You need to protect it all around the trip.
Thirdly, whenever in doubt do not rush into the section rather park aside and feel the section with your foot, see how other vehicles are crossing it and make a planned route in your mind to cross that section.
Lastly, you should carry some important essential things for a self drive trip to Ladakh and for it, do check my video for reference th-cam.com/video/GW0crDklBYI/w-d-xo.html
Also, I will strongly suggest that you go through and view my video on Spiti / Ladakh Self Drive tips at the links below: th-cam.com/video/Ld-6BgYYCYY/w-d-xo.html
Can we take rental bike from Manali to Padum to Leh to Manali circuit? Will it be an issue for rental bikes entering Leh?
Yes, you can take the Manali bike, do Zanskar and come back to Manali via Leh. No issues in this circuit until you dont plan to go to Ladakh sightseeing to Nubra Pangong or Tso Moriri, you should be good
Hi Dheeraj firstly I would like to thak you for the information. Secondly need help I'm currently in Leh and want to go to Manali can I take this route?
alternative road via Leh- Khaltsi- Before Lamayuru trun Left reach Wanla- SirSir la-Photoksar-Singay la- Lingshed - Zangla - Padum- Raru- Purne Gonboranjon- Shingkula- Darcha- Manali.
Got info that due to heavy snow in Shingkula traffic movement is alternate days. We are three families. Initially we thought of taking the route via Kargil
Shailesh bhai, you can take this route but yes due to heavy snow up there at Shinku La Pass, there is alternate days traffic allowed. You should reach Padum first and then take rest there, may be take rest at Purne too after Padum. After that travel over Shinkula Pass on designated day for the direction from Purne towards Manali AND make sure of leaving early in the morning.
It will be a bit risky at this point, so please take utmost precaution.
The route from Kargil to Srinagar over Zojila Pass will remain closed for next couple of days due to avalanches at multiple places.
Hello bhaiji,
We really have very less time to ourselves. So if we travel from Manali to padum in the month of October (first week) will it be possible?
We are a group of 7-8 people, can we get shared cab from Manali to Padum?
There is no need for shared cab because you already are enough people to hire a dedicated taxi. Shared will be same cost divided by the group. First week of October you can travel from Manali to Padum.
If I start my journey around 8.00 A.M from Padum towards Gonbo Ranjan and visit that place and spend there 1 hour or so,and then again start my journey for Padum from Gonbo Ranjan,can it be possible?
What is the distance between Padum & Gonbo Ranjan?
How much time does it take to reach Gonbo Ranjan from Padum & vice-versa ?
Soumen da, it is possible to do a day trip to Gombo Rangjon from Padum. It will take about 4-4.5 hrs to reach there from Padum and same time to come back.
@DevilOnWheelsBlog Thank You 😊 🙏
Thank You Dheeraj Bhai for such a detailed info on each and every aspect of this route and trip. I have been watching your videos since a long time (Spiti/Zanskar/Ladkah) and now after seeing this we are planning in May last week so please guide us on hiring a cab from Manali for a trip of 5-N/6-D and what should be the expected cost of just the Cab ?

Hi Dheeraj bhai,
I want to travel from Manali to Padum. Which is the best mode of transport as I dont own a vehicle? And where can I rent cars? Plz let me know!
Your option is to look for a local shared jeep/taxi at Manali taxi stand which will be carrying locals to Padum. These are limited but you can check them over there a day before to book a seat with driver.
Manali to kaza open hogya kya aur best month kaun sa manali to kaza Jaye to
Nahin bhai Manali to Kaza May end tak open hota hai generally. Best month depend karta hai kaisa experience chahiye aapko.. mere liye September best time hai

Hey Dheeraj… As always, thank you for such an informative video. I was really looking forward to this one through Shinkula Pass. I have a few questions for you:
1. On the way back, where should one stop and take a night break? Since AMS will no longer be a concern.
2. Should one stay an additional day in Padum, does it have something to offer in terms of local sightseeing
3. Should the return journey be through Jispa/Manali or via Kargil?
4. On the way from Shinkula, can we halt in camps near Gombo Ranjan instead of staying the night at Purne. If so do you have any suggestions for camps.
My apologies for so many questions.
Well, here are my replies:
1. On the way back, you can stay most places. AMS should not be much of a concern when returning unless you plan to spend night right on top of Shinkula which I will never recommend.
2. Yes, stay in Padum. Visit Karsha/Zongkhul/Zangla or just rest, which is equally important.
3. It will be new route if you return from Kargil side, you will see amazing Suru Valley. Watch previous of this series for more details on Kargil - Padum route.
4. You can camp there as well.
