A trip to Leh Ladakh is there on every traveler’s bucketlist, but not everyone is convinced of taking a road trip to the land of Passes – Leh Ladakh.A trip from Manali takes one across 5 passes namely Rohtang La, Baralach La, Namki La, Lachalanga La, Tangalang La, out of which Tangalang La Pass is the 2nd higheset motorable pass in the world.
The journey from Leh to Nubra valley takes you across Khardung La pass, which is the world’s highest motorable pass.Further, the journey from Leh to Pangong Tso, takes you across Chang La pass, which is the third highest pass.
We recently took a road trip to Leh Ladakh via Manali and these 18 pictures are sure as hell going to convince you as well to take the road trip of a lifetime with us.
