How to Reach Ladakh from Manali

By Road (The Most Popular Option)

Recommended Route: Manali → Rohtang Pass → Keylong → Jispa → Sarchu  → Leh

The best option is to take the iconic Manali to Ladakh road trip! While the Srinagar route is also good, the Manali to Leh Ladakh journey is more rugged, adventurous, and challenging with higher mountain passes and remote stretches that is perfect for thrill-seekers craving a raw Himalayan experience.

1. Manali to Rohtang Pass (51 km)

• Highlights: Scenic views, permit required. Start your journey with breathtaking landscapes.

2. Rohtang Pass to Keylong (72 km)

• Highlights: Last fuel stop at Tandi, acclimatization opportunity. Keylong is a great place to rest before continuing.

3. Keylong to Sarchu (108 km)

• Highlights: Cross Baralacha La Pass (4,890 m), overnight in tents. A stunning and remote location to stop.

4. Sarchu to Leh (244 km)

• Highlights: Cross Lachung La (5,065 m) & Tanglang La (5,328 m). The final stretch offers breathtaking mountain views before reaching Leh.

Travel Options:

By Bike (Best for Adventure)

• Rent a Royal Enfield 
• Fuel stops: Tandi (last petrol pump before Leh)

By Car/Taxi (Comfortable but Costly)

• Self-drive SUV (Scorpio/Thar recommended)
• Shared taxis 

By Air (Fast but Expensive)

For those who want to skip the Manali to Ladakh road trip and get to Leh quickly, flying is an option. There are flights available from Bhuntar (Kullu) to Leh, which takes about an hour.

Downside: While flying is convenient and fast, you’ll miss out on the iconic road trip experience. For many, the journey from Manali to Leh is as much of the adventure as the destination itself.

Plus, planning a bike trip isn’t just thrilling — it also gives a clearer idea of the Manali to Ladakh bike trip cost, helping budget-conscious travelers plan better.

Best Time for Ladakh Trip from Manali

Planning a Ladakh trip from Manali? Timing is everything and trust us, the mountains play by their own rules! Booking our Manali Ladakh tour package at the right time makes all the difference.

• June to September is the sweet spot. This is when the Manali–Leh highway is open, the snow has cleared, and the passes like Rohtang, Baralacha La, and Tanglang La are navigable.
• Expect pleasant weather, blue skies, and landscapes that look straight out of a movie. This is also when most biking and road-trip groups hit the road.
• Avoid off-season travel (October to May) unless you're a hardcore snow explorer with a backup for every backup. Heavy snowfall blocks the route and makes the journey risky.

Conclusion

So that was the Ladakh trip from Manali — wild roads, jaw-dropping views, and memories that’ll stay forever. There’s something truly magical about starting the journey in Manali and gradually making your way through high mountain passes, the charming town of Leh, and those dreamy lakes like Pangong and Tso Moriri.
