I am travelling next week to leh Ladakh via shrinagar, I have done enough r&d but still find your videos innovative & informative, thanks for sharing such wonderful & crucial information through your videos. I Have seen so many videos but still your videos are so informative that I can't ignore them. Keep spreading awareness. ❤ For Leh,Ladakh & Dheeraj bhai.
Dheeraj bhai..after seeing this video I am damn sure that Google maps also must be asking directions from you about Ladakh roads.Truly amazing and Thanks again for providing so much information in detail.👍👍🙏🙏
Thank you Dheeraj bhai for making such detailed videos. I am a budding youtuber and planning to ride to Ladakh on my bike this year right from Bangalore. You videos have been of great help, please keep up the good work and all the best.
Trust me, till yesterday we were planning how to visit Umling La and discussing the route and today came your video 😊 Saved lot of time and helped in better planning. Awesome Information 👍🏻
Sir, my tour operator has given me this route April 22 : Arrival & Rest in hotel. Drink plenty of water 3-4 liters each day. April 23: Day Trip to Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, Sangam,Magnetic Hill,Shanti Stupa & Leh Palace. Overnight stay in Leh. April 24 : Move to Nubra valley via Khardungla pass and visit Diskit Monastery. April 25: Rest and exploration day. We will visit Turtuk village today. April 26:Transfer to Pangong Lake via Shyok River, Stay. April 27: Move to Hanle homestay. Explore the Indian astronomical observatory,Hanle. April 28: Visit to Umingla pass and then Transfer to Korzok to visit Tsomoriri lake via Nyoma valley. April 29: Transfer to Leh via Puga and Tso Kar/ Mahe bridge back to Leh. April 30 : Drop to airport. Any suggestions Sir from your side???
The route is fine, only long travel is on the day you go from Hanle to Unlimg La and drive to Korzok. If you start by 6 am from Hanle you should reach Korzok by 6 pm.
Ken bhai has already suggested few inputs. From my side, I will say staying overnight at Pangong lake will be tough because cold conditions. So, make sure you go prepared. Visit to Umling La and then to Tso Moriri is possible byt leave early. Same comment for Tso Moriri for cold conditions as Pangong, even more cold.
Hi dheeraj Just an information, Me last August 2022 me gaya. tsmoriri me ek hospital he.. just entry karte hi he wahan .apko basic medicine and Oxygen bhi mil jayega ..and yes BSNL ka network pakadta he in Tsmoiri but it depends on Indian Army wo hi service ko handle karte he..
I am planning to do Chennai-Srinagar-Leh-Khardung la-Umling la-Chennai next month on Tiago EV! Can you post a video of available charging stations in these routes.
Awesome guide video! If it's possible, please super impose the video with date or atleast month when the footages were shot so that we could imagine the conditions during that period of year.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will try to see what I can do with it. Just that editing time gets more and more. May be the new video I will process for clips, I can try to embed it right away.
Thanks Dheerajbhai for regularly posting such informative videos. I would like to know if one should book Guesthouse/Homestays in advance? Or is there adequate availability and does not require pre-booking? Curious to know about stays options because in Leh Ladakh trip adjustments in itinerary are required due to difficult and unavoidable circumstances.
I completely understand the apprehensions bhai and if you are going in season time then hotels will be booked but homestays can be available. Outside season time it is in general OK to land there and search a bit to find the one that suits you.
Hi Dheeraj, What application are you using to show us the map view from Chisumle to Umling La Pass? Google maps doesn't show any route. In between great job for this info!
I have hand drawn on Google Earth images and embedded it as video here. You can check my link of travel guide where I have these routes shared on Google Maps with custom hand drawn layer devilonwheels.com/plan-trip-umling-la-pass-highest-motorable-pass/amp/ There is a section in above article where you can find embedded map and open it in full screen for better view. Once you reach Chisumle bridge then you just take it towards Umling La - Demochok and there is no confusion then as one and only one road leads to Umling La there with multiple signs
Jhulley Dheeraj bhai... last year aapki aisi hi informative videos se humara delhi to leh ka bike trip successful ho paya tha.. hum is bar bhi plan kr rhe hai trip but is bar hum via kargil hokr jane ka plan kr rhe hai... to hum chahte hai ki kargil se seedha turtuk jaye, map pr check kiya to kargil to turtuk via leh jaa rha hai... is there any way to skip leh and reach turtuk directly from kargil?
Hi Dheeraj ji. I have been following you for quite some time in RUclips & u r one of my main source for my planning of Leh ladakh bike trip & i love how u clarify everhing just the way we wants. Keep up the good work brother. As I am a busy professional, I have less time to plan my entire trip on my own. We wl be around 6 people. So we have planned to go with conducted tours of travel companies. We have shortlisted some of the companies. We intend to do Umlingla in the entire circuit trip d not just from Leh to Leh. . One such company is providing srinagar-leh-umlingla-manali-delhi circuit. My main query is whether Umlingla is open for group bike tours this year. We intend to go on last week of May or 1st week of June. Some companies are saying army will not give permission this year, some are saying it's permitted. So can we visit Umlingla in a group bike tour. We are in dilemma whether to book the Umlingla trip or not. Plz suggest brother.
Thank you brother.. You can always get in touch with Leh based tour provider Ken +91 84510 57819, +91 866-9121640. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Instagram: @unpluggedlife For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com. Gurmat is a dear friend, a reliable and trustworthy guy based out in Leh.
Pangong to Hanle is about 6 hrs at rushed pace and same will be required for Umling La too about 6 hrs from Hanle.. so it will be very very hectic day and not recommended
You can bhai I think there isn’t any restrictions as such… as long as you believe it is reliable and will not get you stuck in middle of nowhere or you are good at yourself in fixing it, it should be ok
Your videos are very informative, watched so many videos of yours. we are planning to visit leh in next month need some tips and advise, how I can connect with you? please revert in comments each query is not possible to resolve through replies on comments
Thank you so much Vishal bhai.. happy my videos are proving useful. Sorry buddy this is the most efficient way to connect for now as am only active here for the community and not available on any other social media platform. Also, email box is mostly full so it may take some time to reach there. Best is to leave comment here and I shall reply within a day here mostly.
Dhiraj sir. Me next month Ladakh bike trip karnewala hu. Agar me Hanle raat me Hault karke next morning jaldi Umling la karke same day sarchu pohoch sakte hu kya. Please guide kijiye🙏
Thank you sir! i want to do this on a bicycle. Which route would be the best? via srinagar or via manali. would one require to carry campit gear? is accommodation and food available one the way? i am going to ride from Manali to Leh on mid September 2023. i had done this route last year around the same time. i will modify my plan based on your inputs.Thank you very much.
As you are doing Manali to Leh, then take rest in Leh for couple of days. After that you can start the travel towards Hanle via Chumathang route. Please check video of Hanle Travel Guide on my channel, I think it is one episode before this one. From Hanle do Umling la via Photola route.. follow guidance in the video above for Umling routes
Please give us the total route map with colour codes, although you gave us the glimpse of it unfortunately it's very short staying on this video. Thanks.
Hi - i go in 24 September to new Delhli and rent a motorcycle and go to Umling la. I have question, is there some fuel statiom /gas station? Where i refuel fuel to my engine? Thanks
Hi Bro, We want to visit Leh. Which month is better July 1st week or Sept last week? 1. We are traveling by air 2. We want to experience snow 3. We are planning for private driver not bike Can you suggest?
Well, for snow both these months are not ideal. September end only snow will be present if it snows just before or during the days of your travel. July will have limited snow from the last season. July 1st week will be more pleasant in terms of weather but September end will be great in terms of beautiful fall colors.
Amit bhai, Srinagar Leh tourists have started getting allowed. Right now window is 2 hrs on alternate days for one way traffic. Check my recent updates: ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhDgAOBKFHnEZOccpgqktjoBudaUWrXlx
sir I have seen your video of zanskar ride with some cuttack guy in that you have given details Manali to padum and padum to let but there is no afterward video in which you were mentioning that he has done umlingla please give link of that video as I want to plan my ride soon with your given details
Prateek bhai, you can check my vlogs from September 2023 and I am also giving link to Sajal bhai Umling La ride too: Hanle to Umling La: ruclips.net/video/1HoXYXkat1g/видео.html Umling La to Hanle: ruclips.net/video/OrBpbRzN_nI/видео.html Sajal bhai ride video of Umling La: ruclips.net/video/_7Lv5prOTDk/видео.html
Highly informative and educative videos. 👍Thanks. What are the average fuel efficiency and speed one can expect in the new Classic 350 on Leh>Manali highway?

Hello Dheeraj Bhai, How is road from Spangmik -> Merak ->Chushul -> Loma to go towards Hanle and Umlinga la pass? I'm planning to go from Leh to Pangong followed by Umling la. Please advise.
Spangmik to Chusul is most dirt track kind of road with loose sands in between, then from Chusul to Tsaga La, mostly same dirt track and somewhere around Tsaga Village you will get tarmac road all the way to Loma - Hanle. Umling La I have already shared in the video.
Hi Dheeraj - I hope you are well and healthy. Right now am in diskit and planning to visit hundar and turtuk tomorrow. Post that planning to visit Pangong lake, tso moriri lake and umlingla pass. What route shall I follow, please note I came from Srinagar Leh highway and planning to do circuit hence returning from Manali. Please suggest best possible route. Thank you
Well, you can follow the following plan: Overnight at Diskit Hunder - Turtuk Day Trip Diskit to Pangong Lake via Shyok Village (road conditions are bad) Pangong Lake to Chusul to Tsaga to Loma to Hanle Hanle - Umling La - Hanle Hanle - Tso Moriri Tso Moriri - Tso Kar - Pang - Sarchu Sarchu - Manali
Hello Dheeraj, We have 1 day less in our itinerary to complete both Umling La Pass & Tso Moriri Lake. Which one should we skip we are following Leh Nubra Pangong Hanle route. Visiting ladakh for the first time group of friends traveling in a car
Hi, Plan is for 2nd week of April . Solo travel Plan 1 1. Leh -pangong Tso (stay) 2. pangong Tso - Chushul -Hanle (stay ) 3. Hanle -umlingla pass -Hanle 4. Hanle -Tso Moriri (stay) 5.Tsomoriri -Tso kar-Leh Plan 2 1. Leh -Hanle(stay) 2. Hanle -umlingla pass -Hanle 3.Hanle -Tso Moriri (stay) 4.Tso Moriri-Tso kar -Leh Which would be better ? This will be my 3rd trip to Ladakh
Well, if you have time/days in hand then you can follow Plan 1. I am not sure what do you mean solo trip here? Are you planning to ride or go by taxi solo? Punlic transport may not be available and also Umling La Pass may not be open as well all the way. Check at Hanle guest houses before traveling up.
hello sir, i am going to leg this year in mid may,please help me with the route ,hanle-umling la-tso mariri.i am going by normal suv,not 4by4 vechile.if i go from hanle to umling la thr photi la then wchich route i have to take towards tso mariri.
Thank you for the detailed information. Need clarity: What is the avg ride time from Hanle - Umling La - Hanle? What is the recommended time to start from Hanle? What is the best time of the day to reach Umling La?
If you start at 6/7 am from Hanle you should be back to Hanle by 1 or 2 pm. You can ride/drive back to Leh on the same day if you have the bandwidth. If you’re staying in Hanle then you can even start by 9 am. Best time to reach Umling La will depend on the weather on the day of your travel.
Ken bhai has already replied to your inputs. Consider about 6-7 hrs considering breaks, photos, time at the top. Try to start early always in such remote areas. Leave by 7 AM so that you are back by 1-2. 10 AM - 12 PM is a good time to be there at the top...
How is the road condition in teo Moriri? Can I do Pangong to TSO Moriri, night stay over there and then TSO Moriri to Sarchu - Manali. I will be traveling with a bike group, but they are not including TSO Moriri. So, planning to visit Pangong to TSO Moriri Directly.
The roads to Tso Moriri are OK. After Mahe, there are some sections where it is broken but nothing really bad. Pangong to Tso moriri is possible in a day and then Tso Moriri to Sarchu next day and then Sarchu to Manali.
Thank you dheeraj sir for such a informative video, i have doubts regarding permit of hanle, in one of your article you wrote we have to get stamp to visit hanle from leh DC office, but in this video you are saying, there is no such need, please clarify sir, thanks in advance...
Rajiv ji, there is no need now since 2021 the need for any permit or special stamp has been removed. You only need to pay environment fee and carry it's receipt print out with you. There is no need. Also, if you can share my article where I may missed to remove/update that part, it will be helpful for me to get that edited.
Hi Dheeraj, is there any update on Delhi -Srinagar highway. I m also worried reg Delhi- Manali highway as I hv a 9 day trip planned from 11th Aug. What do you suggest?
It is monsoon time in general up there in North and at some parts of Manali - Leh Highway (like before Baralacha La) and Srinagar - Leh Highway (like before Kargil) you might need to face monsoon hassles but once you get closer to Ladakh, then Ladakh being rain shadow region is least affected by monsoon rains. Landslides or slush or road blocks are pretty common in the month of monsoons but these landslides are cleared in a day or two unless there is a very major one. Again there are ALWAYS risks of traveling in mountains in the rainy season. No one can predict anything but it is a well known fact about the risks of traveling in mountains Having said that, rains does reach Ladakh nowadays but in general, it is overcast days or in form of light drizzles. I will suggest you go thru my video on 10 Tips for a Trip to Ladakh in Monsoons at the link:ruclips.net/video/TQjBw5pCGx8/видео.html
Very helpful video Bhai.. I have booked a self drive car from srinagar for my journey. I have a question brother.. Can i go to kargil war memorial from sonamarg (via zozila pass - drass) using the self drive car i took from srinagar? Or is there any restriction for that? Also i there any traffic restrictions at Zozila pass currently?
No bhai, there is no restrictions for such trips. Restriction is within Ladakh for sightseeing places only. You are free to take the car anywhere else and even reach Leh and exit from Leh. So, Kargil anyways will not be a problem. Also, if you can share the details of this self-drive it may help others too at admin @ devil on wheels dot com. Regarding timings of Zojila, when are you traveling? It depends on that. Right now there is restriction of having anti-skid chains with the vehicle as well as ODD/EVEN days of one way traffic. Traffic only gets allowed in morning for 1-2 hrs 7-8.30 AM, I think.
In which month did you shoot the video between 11:00 mins to 11:10 mins? Just wanted to understand in which month we can see clear sky and clear hill background if we capture the photos in Ladakh...
Great video! Can I ask which of your top 13 highest roads from the website has the most beautiful photographic views? I was thinking of doing Umling La Pass but the views don't seem as spectacular as I had hoped.
Well, most of these passes may not offer views from the very top but the views on the way are much more beautiful than the views from the passes itself.. it is very difficult to say and chose between these views of so many beautiful passes.. but I really enjoy the views from Umling La Pass, as they feel much more remote.. especially when to travel between Chisumle and Umling La and then when you travel Umling La to Photi La and Photil La to Hanle ... Even the views from Kaksang La are really beautiful especially the Mitpal Tso lake.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thankyou! I have flicked through some of the videos of the way up you speak of and they do indeed look amazing! I am a photographer from the UK and have been to the top of El Teide and Moana Kea. I am not a mountaineer though and so this probably appeals to me more than trying to climb Everest, etc. I am very tempted to take this drive but it looks like a LOT of planning! If i do I shall be sure to watch these videos carefully! Thanks!
@Reguez01 you have all the help here.. this channel and my blog takes care of everything you will need and in case you just want quick answers then just shoot me your questions here and will get you sorted.. also if you don’t intent to plan much and just quickly discover it without hassle, You can always get in touch with Leh based tour provider Ken +91 84510 57819, +91 866-9121640. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Instagram: @unpluggedlife
Vaibhav bhai, routes are better for sedan now a days but you can try from Ukdungle/Photila route.. it wont be that easy but if you have experience you may do it!! Please take utmost care and caution when driving and only if confident then only travel up there as the roads are desolate and any help is hard to find up there.. If you can tag along anyone then it will be better...
Hello Dheeraj, I will be starting my leh trip from tomorrow and it will end on 15th April. I have never jumped into the snow in my life. Please guide me which is the best place in ladakh where I can find snow to play and jump into it. I want to travel as affordable as possible like using public and local transport . I'm okay with sharing taxis also.
Hi Dheeraj, We will be staying at Durbuk. From Durbuk we plan to go to Hanle then to Tso Moriri. We want to see Umling La Pass. Please suggest the rout
Bharti, did you see the video? The routes are explained in detail in it.. From Hanle make day trip to Umling Pass using any of the routes described in it and then next day travel to Unling La
Hey thank you for the detailed info. I have a doubt , is it possible to do Leh > Tso Moriri > Hanle(Night Stay) same day, if we leave from Leh by 7 AM. ? Or Nyoma > TSO Moriri > Fuel up ar Karu > Lato(night stay) . What do you suggest ?
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you soo much for your guidance. A ques more, is thr a time limit to cross Upshi checkpost from Leh side when going towards Manali ?
Hi Dheeraj, what if anyone who wants to enter hanle from pangong side , then umling-la and exit from tso- moriri. Will he get a petrol pump on the way to tso moriri. If not then for how many KM's we need to carry extra fuel for this route?
Sudipta, only closest petrol pump will be Tangtse (34 kms before Pangong lake) then you need to manage the whole Tangtse to Hanle to Tso Moriri to Keylong without petrol pump, roughly 840 kms
Yes 840~ kms approx including Unling La provided you fill petrol at Tangtse. You can stay at Sarchu after Tso Moriri and then next day do Sarchu to Manali via Keylong
Hello Dheerja bhai... Very nice information... Hum log Pangong Tso se Umling La pass jane ka soch rahe hai??? 10 liter extra fuel sufficient hoga kya??? Almost sab ki Bullets hai...
Prasad bhai, aap plz ye video dekhein petrol wale topic par: ruclips.net/video/6Oksvn5jBwU/видео.html Is video mein maine detail mein bataya hua hai Umling La pass routes k liye bhi

Jhulley Dheeraj bhai...
last year aapki aisi hi informative videos se humara delhi to leh ka bike trip successful ho paya tha..
hum is bar bhi plan kr rhe hai trip but is bar hum via kargil hokr jane ka plan kr rhe hai...
to hum chahte hai ki kargil se seedha turtuk jaye, map pr check kiya to kargil to turtuk via leh jaa rha hai... is there any way to skip leh and reach turtuk directly from kargil?
There is no such route right now bhai.. you have to come to Leh for it
Hi Dheeraj ji.
I have been following you for quite some time in RUclips & u r one of my main source for my planning of Leh ladakh bike trip & i love how u clarify everhing just the way we wants. Keep up the good work brother.
As I am a busy professional, I have less time to plan my entire trip on my own. We wl be around 6 people. So we have planned to go with conducted tours of travel companies. We have shortlisted some of the companies. We intend to do Umlingla in the entire circuit trip d not just from Leh to Leh. . One such company is providing srinagar-leh-umlingla-manali-delhi circuit.
My main query is whether Umlingla is open for group bike tours this year. We intend to go on last week of May or 1st week of June.
Some companies are saying army will not give permission this year, some are saying it's permitted.
So can we visit Umlingla in a group bike tour. We are in dilemma whether to book the Umlingla trip or not.
Plz suggest brother.
Thank you brother.. You can always get in touch with Leh based tour provider Ken +91 84510 57819, +91 866-9121640. You can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. Instagram: @unpluggedlife
For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com. Gurmat is a dear friend, a reliable and trustworthy guy based out in Leh.
Thanks for your lovely informative videos.
Is it possible to travel from Pangong to Hanle to Umling La and back to Hanle for night stay.
Pangong to Hanle is about 6 hrs at rushed pace and same will be required for Umling La too about 6 hrs from Hanle.. so it will be very very hectic day and not recommended
Dheeraj, can I take my 1997 bullet via Srinagar>Kargil>LeH>Manali. Plz advise
You can bhai I think there isn’t any restrictions as such… as long as you believe it is reliable and will not get you stuck in middle of nowhere or you are good at yourself in fixing it, it should be ok
Sir can we plan for Ladakh trip via sringar by 10th may 2023
Roads shall be open by that time for more time window so more tourists..
Your videos are very informative, watched so many videos of yours.
we are planning to visit leh in next month need some tips and advise, how I can connect with you? please revert in comments each query is not possible to resolve through replies on comments
Thank you so much Vishal bhai.. happy my videos are proving useful. Sorry buddy this is the most efficient way to connect for now as am only active here for the community and not available on any other social media platform. Also, email box is mostly full so it may take some time to reach there. Best is to leave comment here and I shall reply within a day here mostly.
Dhiraj sir. Me next month Ladakh bike trip karnewala hu. Agar me Hanle raat me Hault karke next morning jaldi Umling la karke same day sarchu pohoch sakte hu kya. Please guide kijiye🙏
Sarchu to bahut lamba ho jaayega bhai.. Pang fer bhi ek level tak possible hai.. but Sarchu lamba ho jaayega
Thank you sir! i want to do this on a bicycle. Which route would be the best? via srinagar or via manali. would one require to carry campit gear? is accommodation and food available one the way? i am going to ride from Manali to Leh on mid September 2023. i had done this route last year around the same time. i will modify my plan based on your inputs.Thank you very much.
As you are doing Manali to Leh, then take rest in Leh for couple of days. After that you can start the travel towards Hanle via Chumathang route. Please check video of Hanle Travel Guide on my channel, I think it is one episode before this one. From Hanle do Umling la via Photola route.. follow guidance in the video above for Umling routes
Please give us the total route map with colour codes, although you gave us the glimpse of it unfortunately it's very short staying on this video. Thanks.
Can we go from Hanle to Leh directly by skipping tso moriri?
Yes you can do it
Hi Dheeraj, Can you please share in detail route to UmlingLa via Demchuk. Are we still going via Loma/ Hanle? Thanks
Buddy, I did explain it.. Check following timestamps:
2:38 Umling La Map
8:09 Loma - Koyul - Demchok - Umling La
Planning to visit from 30.04 till 08.05 and want to cover umlingla pass khardungla pass and pengong lake. Please suggest road map
Are you flying to Leh?
Hi - i go in 24 September to new Delhli and rent a motorcycle and go to Umling la. I have question, is there some fuel statiom /gas station? Where i refuel fuel to my engine? Thanks
Bhai aap ye video check karein mera fuel k routes k liye: ruclips.net/video/6Oksvn5jBwU/видео.html
Hi Bro, We want to visit Leh. Which month is better July 1st week or Sept last week?
1. We are traveling by air
2. We want to experience snow
3. We are planning for private driver not bike
Can you suggest?
Well, for snow both these months are not ideal. September end only snow will be present if it snows just before or during the days of your travel. July will have limited snow from the last season. July 1st week will be more pleasant in terms of weather but September end will be great in terms of beautiful fall colors.
Dheeraj sir when will the Srinagar Leh road open for bikes? We are planning to ride on 28th. Would really appreciate any info you can share on this.
Amit bhai, Srinagar Leh tourists have started getting allowed. Right now window is 2 hrs on alternate days for one way traffic. Check my recent updates: ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhDgAOBKFHnEZOccpgqktjoBudaUWrXlx
sir I have seen your video of zanskar ride with some cuttack guy in that you have given details Manali to padum and padum to let but there is no afterward video in which you were mentioning that he has done umlingla please give link of that video as I want to plan my ride soon with your given details

Bhai , how much time we can spend at high passes like pensila pass for photo clicking and sight-seeing
Generally above 15-16000 feet you should not stay more than 20-25 minutes.. about 14000 feet you may stay like 35-45 minutes.
Hi Dheeraj. Please share if there is a direct road to kargil from turtuk. I plan to head to Srinagar from Leh via Turtuk. Thanks. Best wishes.
There is no direct route yet from Kargil to Turtuk
Tsomorori se manali pahunchane ke liye bus hai kya
No koi bus nahin hai wahan se seedha.. aapko Leh wapis aana padega
Hello Dheeraj Bhai, How is road from Spangmik -> Merak ->Chushul -> Loma to go towards Hanle and Umlinga la pass? I'm planning to go from Leh to Pangong followed by Umling la. Please advise.
Spangmik to Chusul is most dirt track kind of road with loose sands in between, then from Chusul to Tsaga La, mostly same dirt track and somewhere around Tsaga Village you will get tarmac road all the way to Loma - Hanle. Umling La I have already shared in the video.
Hello Dheeraj bhai, any idea when does sach pass route opens.
Seems like by May end as of now.
Hi Dheeraj - I hope you are well and healthy. Right now am in diskit and planning to visit hundar and turtuk tomorrow. Post that planning to visit Pangong lake, tso moriri lake and umlingla pass. What route shall I follow, please note I came from Srinagar Leh highway and planning to do circuit hence returning from Manali. Please suggest best possible route. Thank you
Well, you can follow the following plan:
Overnight at Diskit
Hunder - Turtuk Day Trip
Diskit to Pangong Lake via Shyok Village (road conditions are bad)
Pangong Lake to Chusul to Tsaga to Loma to Hanle
Hanle - Umling La - Hanle
Hanle - Tso Moriri
Tso Moriri - Tso Kar - Pang - Sarchu
Sarchu - Manali
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks Dheeraj
Hello Dheeraj,
We have 1 day less in our itinerary to complete both Umling La Pass & Tso Moriri Lake.
Which one should we skip we are following Leh Nubra Pangong Hanle route. Visiting ladakh for the first time group of friends traveling in a car
Well you can start early from Hanle, visit Umling La and then reach Tso Moriri by evening same day
Hi, Plan is for 2nd week of April . Solo travel
Plan 1
1. Leh -pangong Tso (stay)
2. pangong Tso - Chushul -Hanle (stay )
3. Hanle -umlingla pass -Hanle
4. Hanle -Tso Moriri (stay)
5.Tsomoriri -Tso kar-Leh
Plan 2
1. Leh -Hanle(stay)
2. Hanle -umlingla pass -Hanle
3.Hanle -Tso Moriri (stay)
4.Tso Moriri-Tso kar -Leh
Which would be better ? This will be my 3rd trip to Ladakh
Well, if you have time/days in hand then you can follow Plan 1. I am not sure what do you mean solo trip here? Are you planning to ride or go by taxi solo? Punlic transport may not be available and also Umling La Pass may not be open as well all the way. Check at Hanle guest houses before traveling up.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj bhai . I am going alone on the trip . So will be booking a taxi ( Eco car as of now for the trip )
hello sir, i am going to leg this year in mid may,please help me with the route ,hanle-umling la-tso mariri.i am going by normal suv,not 4by4 vechile.if i go from hanle to umling la thr photi la then wchich route i have to take towards tso mariri.
Thank you for the detailed information. Need clarity:
What is the avg ride time from Hanle - Umling La - Hanle?
What is the recommended time to start from Hanle?
What is the best time of the day to reach Umling La?
If you start at 6/7 am from Hanle you should be back to Hanle by 1 or 2 pm.
You can ride/drive back to Leh on the same day if you have the bandwidth.
If you’re staying in Hanle then you can even start by 9 am.
Best time to reach Umling La will depend on the weather on the day of your travel.
Ken bhai has already replied to your inputs. Consider about 6-7 hrs considering breaks, photos, time at the top. Try to start early always in such remote areas. Leave by 7 AM so that you are back by 1-2. 10 AM - 12 PM is a good time to be there at the top...
@@kenagrawal Thank you 👍🏼
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you 👍🏼

thank you bhai !
Does Jio , Airtel network work in hanle ? If not then which is the last location on way where we get the network ?
Where all we can find Fuel stations other than Leh and Nubra ? Is there any Station near Durbuk, Tangtse to Hanle ?
Leh, Karu, Diskit in Nubra Valley, then at Tangtse near Pangong Lake... No petrol pump after that
Thank you bhai

How is the road condition in teo Moriri? Can I do Pangong to TSO Moriri, night stay over there and then TSO Moriri to Sarchu - Manali. I will be traveling with a bike group, but they are not including TSO Moriri. So, planning to visit Pangong to TSO Moriri Directly.
The roads to Tso Moriri are OK. After Mahe, there are some sections where it is broken but nothing really bad. Pangong to Tso moriri is possible in a day and then Tso Moriri to Sarchu next day and then Sarchu to Manali.
Thank you dheeraj sir for such a informative video, i have doubts regarding permit of hanle, in one of your article you wrote we have to get stamp to visit hanle from leh DC office, but in this video you are saying, there is no such need, please clarify sir, thanks in advance...
Rajiv ji, there is no need now since 2021 the need for any permit or special stamp has been removed. You only need to pay environment fee and carry it's receipt print out with you. There is no need. Also, if you can share my article where I may missed to remove/update that part, it will be helpful for me to get that edited.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you sir...
@@discoverwithdheeraj Sir one more question please, is it possible to reach hanle in a single day from leh via keyla pass - pangong lake - rezang la
No Rajiv that is a very long route and will need two days. You can rach Hanle from Leh via Chumathang ij one day
Hi Dheeraj, is there any update on Delhi -Srinagar highway.
I m also worried reg Delhi- Manali highway as I hv a 9 day trip planned from 11th Aug.
What do you suggest?
It is monsoon time in general up there in North and at some parts of Manali - Leh Highway (like before Baralacha La) and Srinagar - Leh Highway (like before Kargil) you might need to face monsoon hassles but once you get closer to Ladakh, then Ladakh being rain shadow region is least affected by monsoon rains. Landslides or slush or road blocks are pretty common in the month of monsoons but these landslides are cleared in a day or two unless there is a very major one.
Again there are ALWAYS risks of traveling in mountains in the rainy season. No one can predict anything but it is a well known fact about the risks of traveling in mountains
Having said that, rains does reach Ladakh nowadays but in general, it is overcast days or in form of light drizzles. I will suggest you go thru my video on 10 Tips for a Trip to Ladakh in Monsoons at the link:ruclips.net/video/TQjBw5pCGx8/видео.html
Hi sir kya may 2023 main hanle umlinga road open hoga plzzzzz replay me
Yes vo road open hai
Very helpful video Bhai..
I have booked a self drive car from srinagar for my journey. I have a question brother..
Can i go to kargil war memorial from sonamarg (via zozila pass - drass) using the self drive car i took from srinagar? Or is there any restriction for that? Also i there any traffic restrictions at Zozila pass currently?
No bhai, there is no restrictions for such trips. Restriction is within Ladakh for sightseeing places only. You are free to take the car anywhere else and even reach Leh and exit from Leh. So, Kargil anyways will not be a problem. Also, if you can share the details of this self-drive it may help others too at admin @ devil on wheels dot com.
Regarding timings of Zojila, when are you traveling? It depends on that. Right now there is restriction of having anti-skid chains with the vehicle as well as ODD/EVEN days of one way traffic. Traffic only gets allowed in morning for 1-2 hrs 7-8.30 AM, I think.

In which month did you shoot the video between 11:00 mins to 11:10 mins? Just wanted to understand in which month we can see clear sky and clear hill background if we capture the photos in Ladakh...
Most of these videos are shot in September
Is new petrol pump open at Nyoma recently?
yes it is open! People have filled fuel up there

Sorry bhai, I am slowly writing them. I will try to finish them in a day or two.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you sir.
Great video! Can I ask which of your top 13 highest roads from the website has the most beautiful photographic views? I was thinking of doing Umling La Pass but the views don't seem as spectacular as I had hoped.
Well, most of these passes may not offer views from the very top but the views on the way are much more beautiful than the views from the passes itself.. it is very difficult to say and chose between these views of so many beautiful passes.. but I really enjoy the views from Umling La Pass, as they feel much more remote.. especially when to travel between Chisumle and Umling La and then when you travel Umling La to Photi La and Photil La to Hanle ... Even the views from Kaksang La are really beautiful especially the Mitpal Tso lake.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thankyou! I have flicked through some of the videos of the way up you speak of and they do indeed look amazing! I am a photographer from the UK and have been to the top of El Teide and Moana Kea. I am not a mountaineer though and so this probably appeals to me more than trying to climb Everest, etc. I am very tempted to take this drive but it looks like a LOT of planning! If i do I shall be sure to watch these videos carefully! Thanks!

Vaibhav bhai, routes are better for sedan now a days but you can try from Ukdungle/Photila route.. it wont be that easy but if you have experience you may do it!! Please take utmost care and caution when driving and only if confident then only travel up there as the roads are desolate and any help is hard to find up there.. If you can tag along anyone then it will be better...
Hello Dheeraj, I will be starting my leh trip from tomorrow and it will end on 15th April. I have never jumped into the snow in my life. Please guide me which is the best place in ladakh where I can find snow to play and jump into it. I want to travel as affordable as possible like using public and local transport . I'm okay with sharing taxis also.
I hope you are having a wonderful trip, seems you are commenting here too late for any help plus I am not sure what your plan is for just 3 days.,..
Sir can you plz tell distance bw Loma to umlingla without hanle
It is around 110-115 km from Loma to Umling La without Hanle

Im a foreign tourist planing to road trip to ladakh in july 2023, one of the to do list is Umling la pass. it is open for foreign tourist too? any permit required?
As far as I know, foreigners are not allowed for Umling La pass. Also, you need permits for visiting sightseeing places in Ladakh as a foreigner.
