Leh Ladakh with Manali Road Trip 10 Days

Trip Overview

The Manali-Leh Highway is not simply a road — it is a rite of passage. The 479 km route from Manali to Leh is one of the world's great mountain drives, crossing five passes all above 4,500 metres, traversing some of the highest motorable terrain on earth, and delivering you — breathless and awestruck — into the lunar landscape of Ladakh. This 10-day tour covers the Manali-Leh drive AND Ladakh's greatest attractions, making it the most complete Ladakh adventure available. The drive from Manali to Leh over two days passes through Rohtang Pass (3,978 m), the Atal Tunnel, the Lahaul Valley, Keylong, the dramatic Baralacha La (4,890 m), the infinite Moray Plains, Lachung La (5,079 m), the highest point of the journey at Tanglang La (5,328 m) and the descent into the Indus Valley at Upshi. Each pass is a world unto itself — frost-shattered rock faces, snow-fed streams, prayer flags snapping in thin air and an overwhelming silence broken only by the wind. Once in Leh, the package covers all the city's key sights over two days of acclimatisation and sightseeing before heading to the high valleys — Nubra with its Bactrian camel dunes and Diskit Monastery, Pangong with its colour-shifting lake and a night in a lakeside camp under the most star-filled sky you will ever see. The return to Leh includes Chang La and the monastery circuit — Hemis, Thiksey, Shey — and ends with a flight out of Leh airport. This tour is best done June to September when all passes are open. It is designed for adventurous travellers in good health — not extreme athletes, but people with curiosity, flexibility and the desire to see something truly extraordinary.
