Manali Leh Road Trip for 12 Days

Our journey kicks off in Manali, a charming town nestled amidst the majestic mountains. From here, we embark on a scenic drive towards Leh, soaking in the breathtaking views of valleys and mountains as we ascend in altitude. Upon reaching Leh, we take it easy on the first day, allowing ourselves to acclimatize to the high altitude.

The following days are filled with exploration as we delve into the rich Buddhist culture of Ladakh. We visit monasteries that stand as serene symbols of faith and tradition, immersing ourselves in their tranquil ambiance.

Venturing beyond Leh, we discover the wonders of the region, from the enchanting Nubra Valley with its rolling sand dunes to the captivating Pangong Lake, where crystal-clear waters mirror the surrounding peaks. The journey to Khardungla Pass, one of the world’s highest motorable roads, offers exhilarating vistas and a sense of achievement.

However, it’s not just the landscapes that leave a lasting impression. Interacting with the locals allows us to glimpse into their simple yet profound way of life. From sharing stories over cups of butter tea to learning about traditional customs, these encounters enrich our journey in unexpected ways.

As we bid farewell to Ladakh, we carry with us memories of its natural splendor and the warmth of its people, reminding us of the beauty of simplicity in a world often overshadowed by complexity.
