Delhi- Chandigarh- Manali- Mahri- Tandi- Sarchu- Pang - Tsokar- Miru- Karu- Leh- Nubra over Khardung La (World Highest Motorable Road. 5699 mts) Leh- Delhi- Agra .

The Manali- Leh road, also called the Army Road, was built mainly for defence reasons to supply the Indian armed forced in the remote areas of Ladakh. The road was opened for foreigners in 1990, and the approach to the Pangong lake in 1994. The road covers a distance of 520 km between Manali and Leh, and is paved all the way, besides a 30 km stretch crossing the Taglang pass. It travels over passes which are snowbound for 7 months a year, 3 of them higher than 5000 mts, the Khardung pass behind Leh with more than 5600 mts, being the highest motorable pass in the world.

On its way, the road touches the high- altitude lake of Tso- Kar, a mineral lake with abundant wildlife, where the Tibetan wild ass, the kiang, can be seen, as well as the famous monasteries of Ladakh, like Tikse and Hemis. It leads through country, sparsly populated by nomads with herbs of yaks and sheep.

The passes are open between beginning of July and end of October. The climate changes considerably from Manali, still under the influence of the monsoon, to the dry, thin air of Ladakh. But the temperature between July and September does not normally get near the freezing point, even on the high passes, and it is mostly sunny and warm. Manali might get some heavy rain during monsoon in July/ August.

The above tour can be done by coach/ jeeps known on safari tour and the itinerary will remain same but with less duration of time which is as under:

Delhi- Chandiragh- Manali- Sarchu- Tsokar- Leh- Nubra- Delhi.
