Great video very helpful as always
Thank you bhai
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद
Bhai aapka bhi dhanyawaad 🙏
I went in last week of September 2022 near zanskar festival, I would say the best time to visit, rivers Are blue, trees are yellow/orange, roads are in awesome condition and less crowd! And on the top of that we had snow covered shinkula pass, singe la pass and what not!
Wow Ankit, thanks for reassuring my suggestion and well I see you must have had one of the best trips of the life with all those things in place for you :)
Very awesome video sir
Thanks a lot Chamba bhai
Zabardast Dheeraj Baba, as always :-)
Thank you so much 😊
I can say " just waw" only.
thank you Ambuj bhai
Again great content brother. I request you to kindly make a video on chadar trek and If it can be done in DIY style
I will do it before the next Chadar trek surely.. it is part of my Zanskar Valley Travel Guide series playlist.. thank you 🙏
❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏
@@discoverwithdheeraj Mid october or end october ke bich mein kya zanskar possible hai...roads khuli rehti hai...mostly padum to lamarayu road??? Plz suggest
Nice video nice topic 🙏 some captions/subtitles were running out of context 🙃
Thank you bhai, yes, I was experimenting with auto-generated titles and goofed up :D... Reverted back now and writing them slowly...
Hey, great video. Been following you for a long time now. I just wanted to know, I've done the batal gramphu road on my bike in spiti, do you think I should make the leh zanskar trip in first week June or should I take the easier kargil route instead?
Saksham, you should be able to do the jjourney to Zanskar buddy as Batal Gramphu is equally or more challenging which you have already done.. so you have the experience of such roads already.
Hello Dheeraj, your videos are very extremely insightful and I enjoy watching those. In a sense my upcoming Zanskar valley trip (end of Jun) was hatched seeing your video. So Thank you for creating content for us. One question I have is about acclimatisation, my current plan is Srinagar-Kargil-Padum-Purne-Manali. Plan to stay at Srinagar, Kargil, Padum one night each. Would it be okay. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
Thanks bhai, I am about to publish the next one for the Lingshed-SirsirLa route soon. From Acclimatization wise, your plan seems OK to me. Just stay hydrated and follow the tips in my AMS tips video here: ruclips.net/video/8XijLqr6O0Y/видео.html
Dheeraj Bhai please accept my unfeigned regards for all these valuable information 🙏 Please advise me if I should embark on Zanskar trip along with family this summer and I should expect a memorable trip. I always prefer to take my family along with me. Also advise as which accommodation in Padum I should book in advance and whom should I connect with to book. I would prefer to follow the route from Delhi to Manali to Padum to Leh followed by Kargil, Sonematg, Srinagar then back to Delhi
Suman bhai, well, am so happy these videos are proving useful to you. Bhai summer is a great time to visit Zanskar valley.. you can take your family there.. spend first three nights as Solang, Jispa and Purne. You shall be fine. Leave surely by 7 AM from Jispa to cross any water crossings early.. rest you shall be good as you have already experienced these roads in the past..
Julley Dheeraj bhai.. I'm planning to visit Kaza for a week in May end. Is it possible to go there in Nexon AMT at that time? Also, will I be able to experience snow?
Julley bhai.. yes you can visit Kaza by end of May with your car from Shimla side. Snow may be available towards Kunzum Pass and beyond and chance of Manali Kaza being open will be like 60:40 in favour by the time you reach there
Hi sir....want to experience leh Ladakh in month of May with family n kids... please help me to make our journey memorable... learnt lots of points from ur Himalayas journey....keep posting...it's really helpful... thank you
Hina, thank you! Let me know how many days are you planning and what is the mode of transport? Like are you driving via Car?
Thank you so much sir for reply... We are planning for 10 to 12 days n want to go by air...n yes can I get ur e mail address?

Thanks Dheeraj for your informative videos, I really look forward to them!
Can you help answer: Is it safe to travel by 4x2 SUV like Jeep Compass to Padum from Manali. I have traveled across Ladakh and Spiti in my 4x2 Jeep, but was not sure about Zanskar. I picked up from some videos/blogs that post Shinkula pass there are some dangerous river crossings and a 4x4 is mandatory. Can you help clarify, so I can plan my trip this season.
Thank you brother.. As you have already done such trips, it shall be OK to travel to Zansakr Valley via Shinku La as well. The water crossings have been tamed a bit but it really depends upon season you are traveling. IF you travel in May time frame, and start early in the morning those water crossings should not be an issue. Similarly if you do it towards end of the season like last three weeks of September or first couple of weeks of October, you shall be fine.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for the quick response. One leading question: Are these water crossings similar to what used to be few years ago between Manali and Kaza or are they worst off? As now they are even tamed and the biggest nalah has a small bridge being made since last two years.
Yes they are similar in nature bhai.. so very leaving early in Jispa and mainly avoiding rains will help you cross them. They are mainly before Gombo Rangjon so that ways if you leave early from Jispa half the job is done
Hello sir, March mein 'Highest Motorable Road Ladakh' jaa sakte h? If yes to mode of transport kya kya option h?
No Niraj, I do not think that the road to Umling La Pass will be open in March. You may need to travel in May and afterwards.
We got the kargil srinagar road closed due to heavy precipitation condition that happened around 17th april to 3rd may 😢😢😢😢😢 ...
Very sorry to hear that.. yeah.. the weather has been crazy for last few weeks

Hi !! THANK YOU for all the content, you are really helpfull! I have a question! I'm thinking on doing a circular route doing Leh - Lingshed - Padum - Darcha - Leh. So I return back to Leh via Manali - Leh highway instead of going to Kargil. Another option would be to do the opposite way. I'm going to do it by bike ( Royal Endfield +350cc). Do you think is feasible to do it? Thank you "
Yes Nil, it is possible to the above direction. However, it is important to note that the descend on the passes from Sirsirla and Singela are steep and from Murgumla/Lingsehd to all the way down to Lingshed Junction point towards Zangla is very very very steep and muddy. So, going down in this direction it will put lot of effort on brakes. Plz make sure to use gear braking and let the bike cool down with every couple of hairpin bends.. it is very very important else mechanical failure can happen in the middle of nowhere.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you so much! So maybe you reccomend me to do it on the opossite way? Leh - Darcha - Padum - Lingshed - Leh ? Thank you!
No, I am trying to say is that you can do it this way but plz make sure to give 10-15 minutes rest to the bike after every couple of bends when coming down from Murgumla/Linghsed point to the downmost point towards Zangla. Even if you go from other side then as well same thing applies, just that instead of brakes engine willl be on load in other direction.
Kindly post on chandartal in 2023 .is it possible to visit chandartal in May first week on bike via manali side . kindly reply
Amit bhai, early May, it may not be possible to visit Chandratal from Manali side to Chandratal... Mostly road opens towards end of May or after middle of May.
ANY MODE OF CONVINIENT TRANSPORT TRAVEL ? give some information about this route NEW MANALI dARCHA SHINGOLA TO PHUGTAL MONASTERY TRANSPORT

Hi Dheeraj, Can you tell me the exact location of the Glacier which you are showing in your Video. Video time 9:13
This is called Drang Drung Glacier which comes right after you cross Pensila Pass when travel from Kargil - Rangdum towards Padum. So the route is like Kargil to Rangdum, then from Rangdum the ascent to Pensila Pass starts. After climbing Pensila Pass you start going down towards Padum and after couple of kms, this magnificient view point of Drang Drung Glacier will come on your right side.
Sir please ek video Spiti Valley road trip ka bhi btaa do ...

Ok sir thank you ❤️
hello dheeraj bhai. we are planning to Zanskar by mid of april from leh.. how is the road condition..? is road open in mid of april? we are planning by bike.
Most likely the road shall be open as these days they tend to keep the Zanskar road open in winter too. So, you may find Zanskar Valley route open from Pensila side. Just go prepared with buffer days because if it snows, it may get you stuck beyond Pensi for couple of days. If weather is clear, I think you should be able to make it.
Hi Dhiraj Bhai, i like to travel zanskar during early September this year, can you please suggest some drivers name for this route?
Sorry don't have direct drivers contact yet but you can check with Nobu bhai +91 94693 69109 for any Zanskar tour travel services. He runs Omasila hotel too in Padum. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Or you can check with Lobsang bhai from Gakyi Hotel Padum at +91 6006414598 ,+916006939945, +91 9484263113
Thank you Dhiraj Bhai.
How is the road condition for traveling zanskar valley, can we go there in small hatch back in June month
Road conditions depend upon season time. Best road conditions will be towards end of season like mid September to first two weeks of October. At that time you can try but only try if you have expeience of driving in bad/rough roads in the mountains. Otherwise higher ground clearance vehicle is always preferred when traveling to Zanskar Valley
Hi, is the way via Manali open right now?
No it will open sometime in May end or June early most likely
Namaste sir... We plan to go in September...bt am scaring...As a woman.. i am now 32 can i go there? I scared about there will be very cold... And my question is there any deadly condition? Wt Is your opinion.. and how to prepare to go there.. any precautions? Please suggest..

is it good to visit leh ladakh from 2nd Sep to 17th Sep
Mostly, September is a good time to travel
Dheeraj bhai how far can we travel in zansker valley in public transport? In bus or share cab please?
Shakil bhai, buses do not run mostly to Zanskar Valley (Padum).. so it is all shared local jeeps/taxis which you can use to travel in a shared/public transport.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you :)
Most welcome
Can i go zanskar valley in March 1st Week?
Not from Manali side but 50:50 chances from Leh Kargil side if Penzila gets open early

Well it is going to be hectic trip.. if you or anyone in your group do not sleep well at Pangong lake then skip Sarchu and sleep at Jispa after Pangong. Otherwise if you all did not have trouble sleeping at Pangong, you can go a bit relaxed and stay overnight at Sarchu
Ok than I think I should skip srinagar part

Day 2 manali to leh, know there is risk of Ams but shortage of leaves is there
Day 3 and 4 leh
