Ladakh - How to Reach?
|
|
|
|
Overland Approach
The overland approach to Ladakh from Kashmir Valley
via Kargil is approx. 434 Km, which remains open for
traffic from early June to November. The most dramatic
part of this road journey is the ascent up the 11,500
feet / 3,505 m high Zoji-La, the pass in the Great
Himalayan Wall that serves as the gateway to Ladakh. The
J & K State Road Transport Corporation (J&K SRTC)
operates regular Deluxe and Ordinary bus services
between Srinagar and Leh on this route with an overnight
halt at Kargil. Taxis (cars and jeeps) are also
available at Srinagar for the journey. Groups can
charter Deluxe and A-class buses for Leh, Kargil or
Padum (Zangskar) from the J & K SRTC at Srinagar.
Manali to Leh -
Since 1989, the 473 km. Manali-Leh road has been serving
as the second overland approach to Ladakh. Open for
traffic from around mid-June to early October. This high
road traverses the upland desert plateau of Rupsho,
altitude ranges from 3,660m to 4,570m. A number of high
passes fall enroute among which the highest one known as
Taklang-La is world's second highest motorable pass at
an altitude of 17,469 feet/5,235m. Himachal Pradesh
Tourism, HRTC and J & K SRTC operate daily Deluxe and
Ordinary bus services between Manali and Leh. The bus
journey between Leh and Manali takes about 19 hours or
two days with an overnight halt in camps at Serchu or
Pang. Maruti Gypsy and jeep taxis are also available,
both at Manali and Leh.

Internal Transport
The cheapest way to travel within the region is by
public buses, which ply on fixed routes according to
fixed time schedules. The most comfortable and
convenient though expensive mode of travel, however, is
by taxi, which are available for hire on fixed
point-to-point tariff. For visits to the newly opened
areas of Nubra, Dah-Hanu, Tsomoriri, Tsokar and Pangong
Lakes. It is mandatory to engage the services of a
registered/recognized travel agency for making all the
requisite arrangements including internal transport.

travel agencies can be obtained from the Tourist Office
or Local travels guide "Reach Ladakh", available at Book
