Manali to Leh by Road
Ladakh is the high, dry land beyond the Himalaya. The road from Manali crosses Baralacha La and the More plains to Leh; from Leh, trips go to the Nubra valley over the Khardung La road, to the long blue Pangong Tso and to Tso Moriri. We plan road trips and treks there, with acclimatisation days in Leh built in — the altitude is the first thing to respect.
