In this video you will see Leh to Manali highway and get information. Distance, road condition, places to eat, stay, tips etc. The Leh–Manali Highway is about 480 km long highway in northernmost India connecting Leh. Do these countries like United states, united kingdom and Australia have this beauty ?
Leh is the capital of the union territory of Ladakh, and Manali in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
It is open for only about four and a half months in a year, from May or June, when the snow is cleared, and mid-October, when snowfall again blocks the high passes. It connects the Manali valley to the Lahaul and Spiti valleys in Himachal Pradesh and the Zanskar valley in Ladakh.
The Leh–Manali Highway was designed and built and is maintained by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of the Indian army.
The average elevation of Leh-Manali highway is more than 4,000 m (13,000 feet)[1] and its highest elevation is 5,328 m (17,480 ft) at the Taglang La mountain pass.
The highway crosses many small streams of ice-cold water from snow-capped mountains and glacial melts without a bridge and it requires driving skill to negotiate fast-flowing streams.
The landscape changes immediately after getting past the Rohtang Pass and entering the Chandra river valley in the Lahaul region that lies in the rain-shadow.
he journey from Manali to Leh normally takes two days, but can take longer depending on the road and vehicle. The Leh-Manali highway has bad stretches of roads and occasional landslides.
The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) and the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) both operate buses that travel the entire highway in two days. Buses start from Manali north at 4 am and after every two hours or so until 12 noon. The time to Keylong is 4 to 10 hours depending upon the condition of the road. Traffic jams may occur at Beas Nallah near Marhi and again at Rohtang Pass. It is advisable to cross Rohtang Pass before 8 am.
Private four-wheel drive taxis are available. Shared taxis are cheap as they charge per person, but they may be full of local residents who will prevent good views of the scenery outside. The tourist cannot stop either a bus or a shared taxi for sightseeing. Some tourists travel from Manali to Leh and elsewhere in Ladakh on motorcycles, generally in a group.
There are no fuel stations in the final 365 kilometres (227 mi) between Tandi and Leh. Vehicles should fill up at the start of this stretch, and motorcycles and vehicles with small tanks should carry additional fuel in cans. In an emergency, fuel may be available at small towns en route (Sarchu, Pang, etc.), but this fuel may be adulterated.
At high altitudes, the air is thinner and contains less oxygen. Acute mountain sickness is possible, whose symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. So you can plan to stay over at either Keylong, Jispa or Darcha before ascending to the highway's highest passes and plains after Darcha.
Travellers should minimise the time spent at the high altitudes and therefore not stay over at Sarchu or Pang. They should carry chocolates, glucose or other high-energy food on the journey.
In India, a dhaba is a roadside eatery with low prices and no frills. These are found at some otherwise uninhabited places along the highway.
There is a variety of hotels to suit all budgets at the highway's endpoints, Manali and Leh. There are also hotels and PWD rest houses at Sissu and at Keylong (a district headquarters). There is one luxury hotel at Jispa.
Tents at Sarchu
Guesthouses are available at Jispa, Karu, Kokhsar village, and Upshi.
The remaining option is to sleep in a tent. These are generally basic and inexpensive, though luxury tents (Swiss-cottage tents) exist in Jispa and Sarchu. Some dhabas offer basic tents. Tent accommodations are available in Bharatpur
