Friends, if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section here and I will help you right away! I will be soon back with a new episode 😁😁 ... Also if you like my work, do support by sharing and subscribing to my RUclips channel. Every view, share, subscribe; counts, and helps me with motivation for producing such informative content to simplify Himalayan travel... 😁😁
hi sir we are planning ladakh trip in may end ., we wil rent bikes from manali and make our way to leh . i just wanted to know , are rented bikes from manali allowed in inner line zone of leh ,. if not then what should we do????
Once again I will say... Very underrated channel.... The experience and passion of dheeraj bhai is amazing. Much much much better than many travel vloggers having million subscribers
Other travel vloggers have the sole motive of income generation unlike this one which is purely informative and a helping hand to fellow travelers besides having an aim for the upliftment of local community
@@AmateurWanderlust don't want to criticize anybody... But I can see that many masala travel vloggers with their almost 50 percent content as waste (most part including their daily stuffs or personal photoshoots), have millions of subscribers... But vloggers like dheeraj bhai, where content is so updated and to the point, have so less.... I think dheeraj bhai should also publish these vlog in purely English as well, so as to attract foreign tourists
@dheeraj bhai i sent you a message on Instagram yesterday .. cannyou pls share your email I'd i want to share reviews contact no and pics of a driver who is from Kargil. We did Zanskar trip with him
We are traveling to Leh Ladakh starting from Delhi by bike on April 27, scheduled plan via through Srinagar -> Kargil -> Padum -> Ladakh, just thinking if we can ride through new route as we saw in news a couple of weeks back that this route Manali -> Nimmu -> Padum -> Darcha route got opened. What is your suggestion that which route we can travel by this month April 27th
Highly likely you will not be allowed on that new route for now.. only essential supplies, administrative vehicles traveled and it may take couple of months for road to get stable and fit for travel officially.. so chances are less than 10% i will say
Thanks Dheeraj bhai for the update. As leh-Zanskar-spiti season starts, your channel becomes my go-to place. I hope to go to Zanskar in the summers. Lets hope everything goes fine. ❤
Very nice & informative video.. Your voice & information is so clear & bolne ka tarika information share karne ka tarika bahut hi achha laga.. Many many thanks dhheraj Bhai for sharing many more information..
Hi Dheeraj, Very informative video and thanks so much for that!! I am travelling to spiti from 26th April, so just wanted to check if we will get to see enough snow covered mountains, thanks.
Hello thank you for your information.. I am travelling to Leh Ladakh on 10th May hope everything is operational by that time and there is no much crowd 😊

Thank you so much for your updates. Really helpful. We're planning Chandigarh-Shimla-Narkanda-Rampur-Kinnaur-Nako-Tabo-Kaza-Kunzum Pass-Manali- back to chandigarh Starting from 13th May 2024. Please advise when can I expect your May update on this route. Really Appreciate TIA
Well, I publish these updates every first Sunday of the month, so 5th May but I keep posting text updates as well on my channel when there is an important one
Dhirajbhai, please cover bathroom stops for ladies for the road trip from Srinagar to Leh and Leh to Manali. I want to be mentally prepared for bathroom stops. Thank you !!!!
Most of the places do not have bathroom stops especially at Manali Leh Highway. On that place you will be only limited with open places or make shift dhabhs dry pits. Srinagar Leh Higway is mostly full of civilization after every 60-70 km where you will find some dhabha or restaurant for stops.
Hello thank you for your information.. I am travelling to Leh Ladakh on 23rd May hope everything is operational by that time and please let me know if anything which I have to make sure while coming this time. Thanks :)
You can go from Tso Moriri to Debring and Pang, but Manali-Leh highway is closed. If planning a trip. Then go by 20th June or in July by then the Highway will stabilise.
We are planning to travel on 27 by our own car (Suv but not 4x4) From Delhi to Leh and then cover Ladakh and then return via Leh Manali Highway. Q1. Will we be allowed via Srinagar To Leh via our own non 4x4 car? Q2. Any idea if Manali to Leh Road will be open by 5th of May? Q3. Do we need to have tyre chains? If yes can we get on rent near Srinagar? Or do we need to buy? Please do answer. Thanks great update video.
1. You may or may not be. It all depend on the conditions on that day of the road and all. 2. Manali Leh road may not be open or at least stable/safe by that time. Next two weeks is what they were planning to clear the road, subject to weather. In early days, it is very unsafe to travel. 3. Srinagar to Leh, it is should be OK unless snowfall does not happen again. No renting of chains as far as I know. you will need to buy them
Gr8 Info Dheeraj bhai ! Last year we went to Ladakh on May 18th but they did not allow us to travel via any way post Darcha bridge. Local people were saying it took unusual time to open these routes. So then we had to take second option to travel Spiti Valley. This time we don't want to take a chance and will go to Ladakh on Sept 21,2024. So the question is, is it a good time to visit Zanskar and Ladakh ?
We're planning a bike trip from Delhi to Leh Ladakh on April 27th, with our scheduled route passing through Srinagar, Kargil, Padum, and finally reaching Ladakh. Can you recommend a route suitable for bike tourists by the end of April?
In general you guys can follow below plan Day 1 | Delhi Jammu Day 2 | Jammu Srinagar Day 3 | Srinagar Kargil Day 4 | Kargil Padum Day 5 | Padum Rest Day Day 6 | Padum - Purne - Phuktal - Purne Day 7 | Purne - Shinkula - Purne/Padum Day 8 | Purne/Padum - Sirsirla - Lamayuru Day 9 | Lamayuru - Sham Valley - Leh Day 10 | Leh Rest day Follow Ladakh itinerary after this day and return from Srinagar as most likely Manali Leh may not open for bikes or if open travel with caution and care
Hi, Thank you for your video. Much needed this time :) Please suggest one good tour operator for leh Ladakh trip with ladies in April end. Will Wait for your reply! Thank you in advance.
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

Great thanks for the information. I am planning to visit manali-kaza in this june. How will the weather conditions be during that time? Will i get snow ?
Mostly snow will be there between manali to kunzum pass but roads should be clear of it.. you will find it near the roads.. weather gets better and pleasant by june in spiti
Hello Dheeraj bhai, we are planning sipit trip via shimla in april end.. I have XUV500 not AWD, is it possible to go without AWD?? next do we need to have snow chains in april??

Hello Dheeraj, I'm planning my trip to Sangla, chitkul , Nako, Kaza in the 1st half of June with my Grand I10 Nios....whats your suggestion & request you to share the good staying options in all those places. You always helped me...last year April we went upto Gurudonmar & enjoyed a lot....thanks ❤
Hello.. Well, you can plan the trip up to Kaza but I hope you plan to come back the same route because the route from Manali to Kaza will not be suitable for small car.
Check these two links prices are outdated but names of places are still valid: discoverwithdheeraj.com/good-hotels-accommodation-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/amp/ discoverwithdheeraj.com/spiti-valley-homestays/amp/
Hello bhai, i see you create very helpful videos...really like those. Currently people of Ladakh are protesting for their rights 6th schedule and i feel if youtubers like you can call this out in your videos bcuz there is no awareness overall (its not covered on so called news media). It will be helpful for your friends in Ladakh, who help you in a way 🙏
I am learning about the topic and do plan to publish a video on that topic in this season. However, first I need to learn about the topic, make myself comfortable before sharing any views around the demands and 6th schedule in itself.
Hi.. I m planning to visit Ladakh by road (by SUV Car) in may end (between 25 May to 5th June)... is it safe to travel with family? or i have to join car expedition. Please guide me.. thanks

Thanks for the update Dheeraj. Sorry to know that you could not reach Kaza this time. I was expecting a hair raising VLog on Winter Spiti! Maybe you have something exciting to share with us. I am awaiting your update for May, for reasons you know already. I don't know if Nimoo Padum road will be open for public by June 2nd week. Bitumen surfacing needs to be completed. As per BRO, it maybe completed by August 2024 or so, which means clearance maybe given only for the next year. So for me, Leh-Kargil-Padum-Manali by shared taxis will be the only way out this time.
Always a pleasure to start this series sir that helps 1000s every year.. Well, yeah, I wanted to visit but some personal circumstances and frequent landslides between Reckong Peo and Kaza on daily basis forced us to quit the chase.. but I did explore something very offbeat and unique in Himachal before concluding my trip... Yes, the new stretch will be a question mark for now but I am sure adventure seekers will find ways not that local and authorities have traveled on the road already :)
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj you said it. Two of my friends have been exploring Spiti in the first week of April by public transport. I don't know if they were successful in reaching Kaza from Peo. The weather seems to be wicked this time with extended winter in Ladakh and Spiti. I don't know how lucky I will be in the first and second week of June covering Kaza-Manali, Manali-Leh and Leh-Padum-Manali by road. If permitted by the BRO and local drivers willing to drive, a 4x4 shared taxi should ferry me from Leh to Padum via Nimoo and then on to Manali via Shinku La. In all probability, I should be able to do the Manali-Leh highway and the Kargil-Padum-Manali stretch in the second week of June. Keeping my fingers crossed. 😄
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks Dheeraj. I have already booked accommodation in Shimla, Sangla, Kalpa and Kaza. Awaiting confirmation from Millennium Monastery Guest House Tabo. My two friends have successfully completed their Spiti trip in the first week of April and returned home. Snow covered Spiti looks amazing!
Dheerajji , so nice of you and your information abt Leh Ladakh. I want to visit Leh with my spouse and two child of 18 & 23 years. Pl guide me that how to become my journey budgetive. We will reach by Air to Leh. Most probably in the 1st to 2nd week of July 2024. Pl give full information abt budget stay, travel and food. We will visit for 6 to 7 days.

We are traveling to Spiti valley from Kalpa - Tabo - Kaza - Chandratal- Manali starting from 8th of June from Chandigarh. Chandratal will be open? Kaza manali highway will also be open ? Can you please update.
Section 144 implement hua h in Leh which can affect mobile internet connectivity and other areas. The situation may get worse if non-cooperation movement starts. Will it still be safe for tourists? Please make a separate video if possible so that people having similar doubts will get some relief. No one else in YT has covered these questions about tourism.
My bad.. I should have added it in this video.. But will cover that in next month update.. for now, tourists, in general, are not disturbed by the bandhs and the protests but it is wise to stay tuned to the news/updates on how things are unfolding. The main thing to keep in mind is that if a strike/bandh is announced in the market then shops will be closed. So, you will need to stock up on previous days on any supplies/eateries you want to buy when traveling to other places in Ladakh.
Sir,when will the bus from Delhi to keylong and there from keylong to Leh starts -exact month and date in 2024 I want to travel in the starting date to experience the snowy climate!please help out Looking forward for your reply😊
Hi Dheeraj bhai... appreciate ur efforts..it really takes a lot to do this...thank u.. I am planning for a drive to Leh from Manali from April 22nd..pls help me out with options.. M driving from Chennai, will reach Manali on 22nd..then to Leh on 23rd..
I do not think in any likelihood Manali Leh will open before middle of May, all weather dependent too. Mostly they may open the road but the challenge remains that tourists are not allowed due to risky conditions at Baralacha La Pass. So, even if they make the road through by end of April, highly unlikely road will open for general tourists without snowchains/4x4 vehicles that early.
Hi Dheeraj Ji, We are from Tamilnadu & currently planning a road trip Starting from May 4th Via Delhi - Chandigarh - Manali - Darcha - Shinkula - Padum - Kargil - Srinagar - Jammu - pathankot - Delhi,using innova car for transportation. Could you please advise if the road conditions are clear for this route? we would like to know approximately how many days it would take to complete the trip? Could you kindly advise if there are any advance travel passes or permits we need to obtain for this journey? Additionally, we would appreciate any advice or recommendations you may have regarding the trip.
Please check this video for Zanskar itinerary: ruclips.net/video/CB43tb7j7wk/видео.html Well, May 4th all depends on if Innova will be allowed and how will be the weather at Shinkula Pass. Please check the timings and restrictions on both Shinkula, Zojila and Pensila before going with the plan. In Zanskar for above route you do not need any permits.
Good and informative video Dheeraj bhai. I’m planning for Leh in the end of May by car via Leh-Manali highway. My queries are 1- is it good time for road trip? , 2- i would need a driver after Manali, any info to hire a experienced driver! Thank you brother.
Hello, I am not sure about hiring the driver in itself. It seems you need to check with local drivers up there at Manali stand. For the time, I will say all depends on weather in coming weeks. Manali Leh is expected to open in next two weeks, at least made through. We will know more then when it may become stable. In most likelyhood the Manali Leh Highway does get stable by end of May and open up, so stay tuned for the updates on this channel
Hi Dheeraj, we’re planning to visit Spiti valley around Mid-May via Manali-Kaza route. While we wait for your May update video, should we go ahead and plan the trip? By your estimate, will the Manali-Kaza route open by Mid-May? Kindly advise. Thanks!
I will suggets you push the trip towards end of May and plan to go from Shimla side and come back from Manali side. I connected with few locals yesterday, authorities are planning to open it my middle of May but then locals believe that it might take more time and snowfall just happened again in Himachal higher reaches.
April to first week of May is still cold up there in Kaza and around. You should surely carry winter clothing. It will be warm in lower hills, get cooler in Kinnaur but once you cross Tabo the temparatures can be in the range of near 0 or minus in the night and overcast days. - heavy woolen jacket or parka (windproof) - can be used on cold/overcast days, - woolen cap, - inner thermals, - fleece jacket, - heavy woolen clothing, - regular clothing, - woolen socks, - warm insulated shoes or trekking boots and, - sunglasses
I am worried as the roads are still closed from Manali to Leh for tourist as on 30 April. I will be driving from Bangalore to Ladakh and crossing Manali on 27 May. How do we get BRO updates on which passes are open
We are going to Leh-Ladakh via Srinagar Route. Tour date 6th May - 15th May. What will be the approximate temperature at that time? Is there anything important that we need to keep in our mind while travelling?
I hope you have watched the video for things to keep in mind before middle of May.. Rest all will depend on weather in coming days.. Temparature in Ladakh will be cold at passes and very cold at lakes.. there will be snow at passes and overcast days even Leh and surrounding area can get really cold like single digit day time temparatures.. if sunny weather then around Leh and lower altitude places weather will be pleasant.
Dheeraj Bhai , pls guide as I am planning zanskar valley in the last week of June 24, kargil to padum then padum to shinku la & back to padum, padum to Leh via nimmu/ Sirsirla wanla, Leh to Sarchu, Sarchu to chandertal, Chandertal to Tabo/nako Can I do this on my Toyota Hyryder front wheel drive with 1497 cc engine & 210 mm Ground clearance Pls advice as yours is very valuable, TIA
Yes Lalit bhai you should be able to do this trip. Well, I will also say that complete the every inch of the road of Zanskar. You are coming all the way to Shinkula from Purne after Phuktal I assume and then returing to Leh. What you can also do is when you leave Sarchu, then go to Shinkula from Darcha side as well to cover that part and come to Jispa for nightstay. Next day do Jispa to Chandratal.
bhai abhi abhi Shinkula Pass open hi hua hai.. agar weather sahi rahega aane wale weeks mein to mujhe lagta hai first week of May mein allow kara jaana chahiye.. agar weather sahi nahin raha to May end tak bhi ho sakta hai allow na kara jaaye.. early time mein risky rehta hai bahut
Dheeraj Bhai, what are the options of getting drinking water in Ladakh? I mean do we get bottled water like Bisleri in big cans in Ladakh? Do I need to buy more bottles in Leh and carry with me or is it available in other places as well? I have a small kid traveling with me and want to be safe on that side.
Bhai you can buy those big bottles 20ltr type and keep it in the car to reduce the amount of water bottles to carry outside Leh. there is a shop in Leh that provides with that kind of safe drinking RO water in big bottles/containers.. if that does not work for you then you will need to carry from Leh most stock as other places will have less stock options
Hello, I along with my 2 other friends are going to Leh from 23rd to 28th April. Do we get to do bike ride considering the current weather conditions or is it safe? What are your suggestions?
Well, it all depends if authorities are allowing the bikes on passes. I doubt they will be and plus you also need to be prepared for winter like conditions riding especially at passes. Not sure if you have experience with it or not.
It is closed for now.. I expect it to open by middle of May for general tourists.. if weather remains favourable then it may open early too but all subject to weather
Dheeraj bhai aapke vlog ka wait rhta hai mujhe.. maine last year Chhattisgarh se ladakh ka pura circuit complete kiya tha fronx car se by road chhote chhote bachcho ke sath.. is baar main spiti jana chahta hu.. 10 may se 30 may tk .. kya bchcho ke sath spiti ki travelling safe rahegi..
धीरज भाई रेंटल बाइक या टैक्सी चंडीगढ़ से लेह मनाली हाइवे होते हुए उसी गाडी से लेह के आगे जा सकते है या अभी भी वही पुराना नियम लागू होता है इसकी कोई अपडेट आई है
Abhi bhi purana niyam laagu hai bhai.. aap bahar ki taxi bas Leh tak lekar ja sakte ho aur us se wapis aa sakte ho but bahar ki taxi mein aap sightseeing nahin kar sakte ho..
Well, it will surely be tough but not impossible as people have done with hatchbacks. Early in season makes it more difficult especially around passes like Shinkula... Do you have any experience in driving these roads? Also you should not love your car when taking up there or love adventure more than your car :D
You can see these places if you are traveling by flight. Passes and lakes will be cold to stay during those days but roads shall all be open unless it snows during the days you travel
Is the Manali - Kaza Road currently open, or will it be open around April 28th ? We are planning a trip to kaza via Manali, any recent updates on the road’s status?
No Manali Kaza is not yet open and as per authorities they are trying to open by middle of May, however as per locals it does not seem it shall open before end of May
It's possible for me to travel to ladakh only by 31st may... Otherwise, i need to decide some other place for travel... I'm a solo traveller but will be coming in an organized group trip. Do u suggest visiting ladakh in may 15 to 25 period? Or should i search for any other place?..if ladakh visit is possible, should i go for the flight mode or bike travel (i have been driving since 3-4 years n I'm good at the same but have never drove at such high altitudes).
If you are going in a group of travelers then you can fly in and join your group to explore Ladakh on taxi.. do bike ride once you gain some experience on riding in rhe higher hills
Sir, we are two person and planning to drive Celerio from Srinagar to leh, nubra, pangong lake, hanle and then back via manali. Is it possible to do it with such a small car? Please guide us.
We are group of 9 people planning to travel to Leh Ladakh on two SUV's on 14 May via Srinagar Kargil route. We will be coming back from Manali route and total trip is of 12 days. Do you think we should delay our plan by little? Will the road be open on both sides and snow be cleared by that time?
Aaj Srinagar Leh Highway bandh ho gaya hai snowfall k chalte.. weather agle 2-3 din ka kharaab hi bata rahe hain.. Manali Leh abhi waise bhi open nahin hai tourists k liye..
Hello Dheeraj bhai, we're a group of 7 and we've booked our spiti valley trip from 14th of may. Can you please provide insights of how will be the weather conditions there and is the route (via shimla) completely safe? Also can we find pure jain food in the cafes and restros?
Pure Jain cafes will be tough to find, may not even be there at some places.. however you will get Vegetarian food everywhere. Weather will continue to be cold within Spiti especially at nights and early mornings. Day time will be pleasant
Hi Dheeraj bhai. Thanks for your informative videos. My query is.. Is permit & Green fee same in Leh..? How much is the cost of permit in Leh for domestic tourist. I am visting in June 2024.
In simple terms, yes they both are the same things. Earlier there was a permit which is not replaced with an environmental fee but some people still call it a permit.
Dhiraj bhai...there is some issues in ladakh regarding nature...some news are coming that the campaigners are in fasting... Is there will be any problem to go to ladakh in this scenario ?
My bad.. I should have added it in this video.. But will cover that in next month update.. for now, tourists, in general, are not disturbed by the bandhs and the protests but it is wise to stay tuned to the news/updates on how things are unfolding. The main thing to keep in mind is that if a strike/bandh is announced in the market then shops will be closed.

Hi, I am planning for spiti circuit starting from Shimla and exit from Manali from 2 May onwards...could you please advise if roads will be open by that time and also advise itinerary for stoppages as I'll be doing solo bike ride
I highly doubt that Manali Kaza road will open by that time. All depends on weather. For itinerary check How to plan a road trip to Spiti Valley from Shimla in 10 days? [2024 Best Spiti Valley Itinerary]: ruclips.net/video/g3dzmou9o3Y/видео.html
Hi Dheeraj, Iam planning to go to spiti valley in the 1st week of May, so the roads will be opened at that time? Is it worth it going at that period? I just want to have the information before booking the tickets
Hello Julie, Well, the road from Shimla - Kinnaur side is open but from Manali side it will be closed and open later by middle to end of May all weather dependent. So, if you plan to go and come from Shimla side, you can plan the trip. Check my itinerary video which has two plans and one of them cover Shimla side only plan: ruclips.net/video/g3dzmou9o3Y/видео.html
Thank you bhai for the love.. but like Hemendra bhai said, I live in US.. you should check this video of mine Ep 00 | Know about me, my Himalayan experiences since 2008, blog, channel ruclips.net/video/wrB6D2Ogb90/видео.html
Will we face any issues from Kargil to Leh on 25th April. ? As we are not crossing Zojla Pass so will we still face any issues on Kargil to Leh Strech of the highway ? Does this strech also closes or it remains operational ?
Hello sir I am Bharat from indore MP. I am planning for ladakh trip by activa. I will complete circuit J&k to manali. So it will be easy for me to do by activa. I will do solo trip. Please guide me.

Also if you like my work, do support by sharing and subscribing to my RUclips channel. Every view, share, subscribe; counts, and helps me with motivation for producing such informative content to simplify Himalayan travel... 😁😁
Please suggest one good tour operator for leh Ladakh trip
hi sir we are planning ladakh trip in may end ., we wil rent bikes from manali and make our way to leh . i just wanted to know , are rented bikes from manali allowed in inner line zone of leh ,. if not then what should we do????
@nikhilkhant2919 no outside rented bikes are not allowed for sightseeing in Ladakh you need to rent again for the days in Ladakh sightseeing
Manali-Kaza and Srinagar-Leh bus service Kab start hoga??
Is the public transport for Spiti still not running properly? .... Does the possibility of Landslides less or same in May?
Once again I will say... Very underrated channel.... The experience and passion of dheeraj bhai is amazing. Much much much better than many travel vloggers having million subscribers
Thank you so much for the belief in my content and channel.. I wish one day it gets the deserved attention and use base 🙏🙏
Other travel vloggers have the sole motive of income generation unlike this one which is purely informative and a helping hand to fellow travelers besides having an aim for the upliftment of local community
Thank you dear for the support and trust.. it is very humbling!!
@@AmateurWanderlust don't want to criticize anybody... But I can see that many masala travel vloggers with their almost 50 percent content as waste (most part including their daily stuffs or personal photoshoots), have millions of subscribers... But vloggers like dheeraj bhai, where content is so updated and to the point, have so less.... I think dheeraj bhai should also publish these vlog in purely English as well, so as to attract foreign tourists
@dheeraj bhai i sent you a message on Instagram yesterday .. cannyou pls share your email I'd i want to share reviews contact no and pics of a driver who is from Kargil. We did Zanskar trip with him
The good thing I like about your video is that it has lots of information and not about cooking and this scene is beautiful and that view is beautiful
Sanjay ji, Thank you so much 🙂 I am no masala guy 😂🤣
Very nice informative and to the point video. Good job my friend. I am now your subscriber ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
We are traveling to Leh Ladakh starting from Delhi by bike on April 27, scheduled plan via through Srinagar -> Kargil -> Padum -> Ladakh, just thinking if we can ride through new route as we saw in news a couple of weeks back that this route Manali -> Nimmu -> Padum -> Darcha route got opened. What is your suggestion that which route we can travel by this month April 27th
Highly likely you will not be allowed on that new route for now.. only essential supplies, administrative vehicles traveled and it may take couple of months for road to get stable and fit for travel officially.. so chances are less than 10% i will say
Thank you Dhirajbhai!!! I will be waiting for your May updates. We are traveling to Leh in end of May.
Surely next week now
Thanks Dheeraj bhai for the update. As leh-Zanskar-spiti season starts, your channel becomes my go-to place. I hope to go to Zanskar in the summers. Lets hope everything goes fine. ❤

Dhirajbhai, please cover bathroom stops for ladies for the road trip from Srinagar to Leh and Leh to Manali. I want to be mentally prepared for bathroom stops. Thank you !!!!
Most of the places do not have bathroom stops especially at Manali Leh Highway. On that place you will be only limited with open places or make shift dhabhs dry pits. Srinagar Leh Higway is mostly full of civilization after every 60-70 km where you will find some dhabha or restaurant for stops.
Hello thank you for your information.. I am travelling to Leh Ladakh on 23rd May hope everything is operational by that time and please let me know if anything which I have to make sure while coming this time. Thanks :)
Plz stat tuned for the updates on this channel..
Please also put out an update on the road from Tso Moriri to Debring Pang intersection, as and when you get an update .
Sure thing
You can go from Tso Moriri to Debring and Pang, but Manali-Leh highway is closed. If planning a trip. Then go by 20th June or in July by then the Highway will stabilise.
We are planning to travel on 27 by our own car (Suv but not 4x4) From Delhi to Leh and then cover Ladakh and then return via Leh Manali Highway.
Q1. Will we be allowed via Srinagar To Leh via our own non 4x4 car?
Q2. Any idea if Manali to Leh Road will be open by 5th of May?
Q3. Do we need to have tyre chains? If yes can we get on rent near Srinagar? Or do we need to buy?
Please do answer. Thanks great update video.
1. You may or may not be. It all depend on the conditions on that day of the road and all.
2. Manali Leh road may not be open or at least stable/safe by that time. Next two weeks is what they were planning to clear the road, subject to weather. In early days, it is very unsafe to travel.
3. Srinagar to Leh, it is should be OK unless snowfall does not happen again. No renting of chains as far as I know. you will need to buy them
Thank you so much for information
Always welcome
Gr8 Info Dheeraj bhai ! Last year we went to Ladakh on May 18th but they did not allow us to travel via any way post Darcha bridge. Local people were saying it took unusual time to open these routes. So then we had to take second option to travel Spiti Valley. This time we don't want to take a chance and will go to Ladakh on Sept 21,2024. So the question is, is it a good time to visit Zanskar and Ladakh ?
September is a good time to visit Ladakh and Zanskar Valley
We're planning a bike trip from Delhi to Leh Ladakh on April 27th, with our scheduled route passing through Srinagar, Kargil, Padum, and finally reaching Ladakh. Can you recommend a route suitable for bike tourists by the end of April?
We are also planning on the same date from delhi
How many total days do you have in hand?
Even we are planning for the same route on april 20
In general you guys can follow below plan
Day 1 | Delhi Jammu
Day 2 | Jammu Srinagar
Day 3 | Srinagar Kargil
Day 4 | Kargil Padum
Day 5 | Padum Rest Day
Day 6 | Padum - Purne - Phuktal - Purne
Day 7 | Purne - Shinkula - Purne/Padum
Day 8 | Purne/Padum - Sirsirla - Lamayuru
Day 9 | Lamayuru - Sham Valley - Leh
Day 10 | Leh Rest day
Follow Ladakh itinerary after this day and return from Srinagar as most likely Manali Leh may not open for bikes or if open travel with caution and care

Ladakh, Spiti & Zanskar Trip in May 2024 - Latest May Updates, Road Status, Weather, Bike Rates
ruclips.net/video/arQlU0r7d0Q/видео.html
Thanks for the update Dheeraj.
Sorry to know that you could not reach Kaza this time. I was expecting a hair raising VLog on Winter Spiti! Maybe you have something exciting to share with us.
I am awaiting your update for May, for reasons you know already. I don't know if Nimoo Padum road will be open for public by June 2nd week. Bitumen surfacing needs to be completed. As per BRO, it maybe completed by August 2024 or so, which means clearance maybe given only for the next year.
So for me, Leh-Kargil-Padum-Manali by shared taxis will be the only way out this time.
Always a pleasure to start this series sir that helps 1000s every year.. Well, yeah, I wanted to visit but some personal circumstances and frequent landslides between Reckong Peo and Kaza on daily basis forced us to quit the chase.. but I did explore something very offbeat and unique in Himachal before concluding my trip...
Yes, the new stretch will be a question mark for now but I am sure adventure seekers will find ways not that local and authorities have traveled on the road already :)
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dheeraj you said it.
Two of my friends have been exploring Spiti in the first week of April by public transport. I don't know if they were successful in reaching Kaza from Peo.
The weather seems to be wicked this time with extended winter in Ladakh and Spiti.
I don't know how lucky I will be in the first and second week of June covering Kaza-Manali, Manali-Leh and Leh-Padum-Manali by road.
If permitted by the BRO and local drivers willing to drive, a 4x4 shared taxi should ferry me from Leh to Padum via Nimoo and then on to Manali via Shinku La.
In all probability, I should be able to do the Manali-Leh highway and the Kargil-Padum-Manali stretch in the second week of June.
Keeping my fingers crossed. 😄
@kudpiraj i am sure you will make it through the trip during that time
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks Dheeraj.
I have already booked accommodation in Shimla, Sangla, Kalpa and Kaza. Awaiting confirmation from Millennium Monastery Guest House Tabo.

Section 144 implement hua h in Leh which can affect mobile internet connectivity and other areas. The situation may get worse if non-cooperation movement starts. Will it still be safe for tourists?
Please make a separate video if possible so that people having similar doubts will get some relief. No one else in YT has covered these questions about tourism.
My bad.. I should have added it in this video.. But will cover that in next month update.. for now, tourists, in general, are not disturbed by the bandhs and the protests but it is wise to stay tuned to the news/updates on how things are unfolding. The main thing to keep in mind is that if a strike/bandh is announced in the market then shops will be closed. So, you will need to stock up on previous days on any supplies/eateries you want to buy when traveling to other places in Ladakh.

Sir,when will the bus from Delhi to keylong and there from keylong to Leh starts -exact month and date in 2024

Looking forward for your reply😊
These buses to Leh from Manali starts after middle of June in general when the road conditions gets stable on Manali Leh highway.
Hi Dheeraj bhai... appreciate ur efforts..it really takes a lot to do this...thank u..
I am planning for a drive to Leh from Manali from April 22nd..pls help me out with options..
M driving from Chennai, will reach Manali on 22nd..then to Leh on 23rd..
U said Manali Leh is closed as of now..can i expect it to open by April 22nd..
I do not think in any likelihood Manali Leh will open before middle of May, all weather dependent too. Mostly they may open the road but the challenge remains that tourists are not allowed due to risky conditions at Baralacha La Pass. So, even if they make the road through by end of April, highly unlikely road will open for general tourists without snowchains/4x4 vehicles that early.
Thanks fr d reply..pls share any update on this on ur channel or here whenever u get ..would b grateful..thanks again..keep doing the good work..

Well, May 4th all depends on if Innova will be allowed and how will be the weather at Shinkula Pass. Please check the timings and restrictions on both Shinkula, Zojila and Pensila before going with the plan. In Zanskar for above route you do not need any permits.
Good and informative video Dheeraj bhai. I’m planning for Leh in the end of May by car via Leh-Manali highway. My queries are 1- is it good time for road trip? , 2- i would need a driver after Manali, any info to hire a experienced driver!
Thank you brother.
Hello, I am not sure about hiring the driver in itself. It seems you need to check with local drivers up there at Manali stand. For the time, I will say all depends on weather in coming weeks. Manali Leh is expected to open in next two weeks, at least made through. We will know more then when it may become stable. In most likelyhood the Manali Leh Highway does get stable by end of May and open up, so stay tuned for the updates on this channel
@@discoverwithdheeraj Yo , thank you for the information Sir. Will share the update with you once hit the mountains ….
@Prisharaovlogs all the best
Hi Dheeraj, we’re planning to visit Spiti valley around Mid-May via Manali-Kaza route. While we wait for your May update video, should we go ahead and plan the trip? By your estimate, will the Manali-Kaza route open by Mid-May? Kindly advise.
Thanks!
I will suggets you push the trip towards end of May and plan to go from Shimla side and come back from Manali side. I connected with few locals yesterday, authorities are planning to open it my middle of May but then locals believe that it might take more time and snowfall just happened again in Himachal higher reaches.
We are traveling spiti valley between 28th APR to 3rd may. Please let us know the weather we would face and clothes to carry,thanks in advance
April to first week of May is still cold up there in Kaza and around. You should surely carry winter clothing. It will be warm in lower hills, get cooler in Kinnaur but once you cross Tabo the temparatures can be in the range of near 0 or minus in the night and overcast days.
- heavy woolen jacket or parka (windproof) - can be used on cold/overcast days,
- woolen cap,
- inner thermals,
- fleece jacket,
- heavy woolen clothing,
- regular clothing,
- woolen socks,
- warm insulated shoes or trekking boots and,
- sunglasses
I am worried as the roads are still closed from Manali to Leh for tourist as on 30 April. I will be driving from Bangalore to Ladakh and crossing Manali on 27 May. How do we get BRO updates on which passes are open
I try to post text updates whenever there is one new update. I hope it opens up by that time.
Sir, we are planning a Ladakh trip in the last of May and returning via the Manali route on 1 June. So can we get a bus service Leh to Manali
Very unlikely that buses will be running on Manali Leh in June first week.. best option will be shared local jeeps
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you sir...
We are going to Leh-Ladakh via Srinagar Route. Tour date 6th May - 15th May. What will be the approximate temperature at that time? Is there anything important that we need to keep in our mind while travelling?
I hope you have watched the video for things to keep in mind before middle of May.. Rest all will depend on weather in coming days.. Temparature in Ladakh will be cold at passes and very cold at lakes.. there will be snow at passes and overcast days even Leh and surrounding area can get really cold like single digit day time temparatures.. if sunny weather then around Leh and lower altitude places weather will be pleasant.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanx a lot. It will be a great help...... Will be waiting for your May Month update......
Dheeraj Bhai , pls guide as I am planning zanskar valley in the last week of June 24, kargil to padum then padum to shinku la & back to padum, padum to Leh via nimmu/ Sirsirla wanla, Leh to Sarchu, Sarchu to chandertal, Chandertal to Tabo/nako
Can I do this on my Toyota Hyryder front wheel drive with 1497 cc engine & 210 mm Ground clearance
Pls advice as yours is very valuable, TIA
Yes Lalit bhai you should be able to do this trip. Well, I will also say that complete the every inch of the road of Zanskar. You are coming all the way to Shinkula from Purne after Phuktal I assume and then returing to Leh. What you can also do is when you leave Sarchu, then go to Shinkula from Darcha side as well to cover that part and come to Jispa for nightstay. Next day do Jispa to Chandratal.
great information again
Thanks a lot!
Dhiraj bhai - zanskar root par darcha se padum tak byke leke kabtak ja sakte hai..?
bhai abhi abhi Shinkula Pass open hi hua hai.. agar weather sahi rahega aane wale weeks mein to mujhe lagta hai first week of May mein allow kara jaana chahiye.. agar weather sahi nahin raha to May end tak bhi ho sakta hai allow na kara jaaye.. early time mein risky rehta hai bahut
Dheeraj Bhai, what are the options of getting drinking water in Ladakh? I mean do we get bottled water like Bisleri in big cans in Ladakh? Do I need to buy more bottles in Leh and carry with me or is it available in other places as well? I have a small kid traveling with me and want to be safe on that side.
Bhai you can buy those big bottles 20ltr type and keep it in the car to reduce the amount of water bottles to carry outside Leh. there is a shop in Leh that provides with that kind of safe drinking RO water in big bottles/containers.. if that does not work for you then you will need to carry from Leh most stock as other places will have less stock options
Hello,
I along with my 2 other friends are going to Leh from 23rd to 28th April. Do we get to do bike ride considering the current weather conditions or is it safe?
What are your suggestions?
Well, it all depends if authorities are allowing the bikes on passes. I doubt they will be and plus you also need to be prepared for winter like conditions riding especially at passes. Not sure if you have experience with it or not.
Sir please update us about spiti,kunzum pass chandertaal lake from koksar side...
It is closed for now.. I expect it to open by middle of May for general tourists.. if weather remains favourable then it may open early too but all subject to weather
Hi Dheeraj, we are planning for manali - zanskar - leh - hanle - umingla -tsomoriri in may end. can you suggest us the iternary and stays
How many days do you have in hand? what is the mode of transport?
Dheeraj bhai aapke vlog ka wait rhta hai mujhe.. maine last year Chhattisgarh se ladakh ka pura circuit complete kiya tha fronx car se by road chhote chhote bachcho ke sath.. is baar main spiti jana chahta hu.. 10 may se 30 may tk .. kya bchcho ke sath spiti ki travelling safe rahegi..
Bahut badiya bhai… bachon ki age batayenge aap
@@discoverwithdheeraj 4 years and 10 years 😊
Bhai Shimla side se travel kar sakte ho.. thoda easy travel karna bachon k saath aur acclimatization and hydration ka dhyaan rakhna
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks Dheeraj bhai😊
धीरज भाई रेंटल बाइक या टैक्सी चंडीगढ़ से लेह मनाली हाइवे होते हुए उसी गाडी से लेह के आगे जा सकते है या अभी भी वही पुराना नियम लागू होता है इसकी कोई अपडेट आई है
Abhi bhi purana niyam laagu hai bhai.. aap bahar ki taxi bas Leh tak lekar ja sakte ho aur us se wapis aa sakte ho but bahar ki taxi mein aap sightseeing nahin kar sakte ho..
Hi Dheeraj, i m plaining zanskar valley trip in may or june via my i10 nios is it good to travel by low ground clearance car ?
Well, it will surely be tough but not impossible as people have done with hatchbacks. Early in season makes it more difficult especially around passes like Shinkula... Do you have any experience in driving these roads? Also you should not love your car when taking up there or love adventure more than your car :D
Can you please share the may update ?
We are visiting Spiti around 18 May
Coming tomorrow, I publish videos every Sunday, so first Sunday of the month the monthly update comes.
Hi can I visit Ladakh on around May 20 by flight ? What will be the weather at that time ? Khardungla, Umlingla will be open ? Please suggest
You can see these places if you are traveling by flight. Passes and lakes will be cold to stay during those days but roads shall all be open unless it snows during the days you travel
Is the Manali - Kaza Road currently open, or will it be open around April 28th ?
We are planning a trip to kaza via Manali, any recent updates on the road’s status?
No Manali Kaza is not yet open and as per authorities they are trying to open by middle of May, however as per locals it does not seem it shall open before end of May
It's possible for me to travel to ladakh only by 31st may... Otherwise, i need to decide some other place for travel... I'm a solo traveller but will be coming in an organized group trip. Do u suggest visiting ladakh in may 15 to 25 period? Or should i search for any other place?..if ladakh visit is possible, should i go for the flight mode or bike travel (i have been driving since 3-4 years n I'm good at the same but have never drove at such high altitudes).
If you are going in a group of travelers then you can fly in and join your group to explore Ladakh on taxi.. do bike ride once you gain some experience on riding in rhe higher hills
do we need chain or spikes for the bike tyres in may last week, i am planning trip srinagar - leh - Manali in may last week
Not needed in May last week for srinagar Leh, Manali Leh also most likely not required unless it snows during those days
Sir, we are two person and planning to drive Celerio from Srinagar to leh, nubra, pangong lake, hanle and then back via manali. Is it possible to do it with such a small car? Please guide us.
Sir, plz check this video: ruclips.net/video/MQuxokY-m8M/видео.html
Bhai i am plaing with family in mid June.. Pls update ❤️ coming video
I will try my best.. every first Sunday of month will publish the updates
We are group of 9 people planning to travel to Leh Ladakh on two SUV's on 14 May via Srinagar Kargil route. We will be coming back from Manali route and total trip is of 12 days.
Do you think we should delay our plan by little?
Will the road be open on both sides and snow be cleared by that time?
If you can delay, you give yourself better chance of less disruption and more stable conditions.. every week delay will help
Sir. Aaj kal kya update highway ka and 5th May trf jana h tiago se leh. Konsa route best rhega ?
Aaj Srinagar Leh Highway bandh ho gaya hai snowfall k chalte.. weather agle 2-3 din ka kharaab hi bata rahe hain.. Manali Leh abhi waise bhi open nahin hai tourists k liye..
Sir September mein snow Kahan Kahan milegi Manali leh highway par and ladak me v
Snow nahin milegi dost September mein unless unhi dino mein snow na ho jab aap travel kar rahe ho
Hello Dheeraj bhai, we're a group of 7 and we've booked our spiti valley trip from 14th of may. Can you please provide insights of how will be the weather conditions there and is the route (via shimla) completely safe? Also can we find pure jain food in the cafes and restros?
Shimla side the road is open for Spiti Valley. Stay tuned for my May update in first week.
"Sir, if possible, could you please reply to the other questions asked above, @discoverwithdheeraj?"
Pure Jain cafes will be tough to find, may not even be there at some places.. however you will get Vegetarian food everywhere. Weather will continue to be cold within Spiti especially at nights and early mornings. Day time will be pleasant
Is snow chain mendatory for Manali to spiti trip in May. I am driving my own XUV 700?
It depends if the route from Manali to Kaza opens up or not. Chances are it will open later inthe May month.
Hi Dheeraj bhai. Thanks for your informative videos. My query is.. Is permit & Green fee same in Leh..? How much is the cost of permit in Leh for domestic tourist. I am visting in June 2024.
In simple terms, yes they both are the same things. Earlier there was a permit which is not replaced with an environmental fee but some people still call it a permit.

Dhiraj bhai...there is some issues in ladakh regarding nature...some news are coming that the campaigners are in fasting... Is there will be any problem to go to ladakh in this scenario ?
My bad.. I should have added it in this video.. But will cover that in next month update.. for now, tourists, in general, are not disturbed by the bandhs and the protests but it is wise to stay tuned to the news/updates on how things are unfolding. The main thing to keep in mind is that if a strike/bandh is announced in the market then shops will be closed. So, you will need to stock up on previous days on any supplies/eateries you want to buy when traveling to other places in Ladakh.
Hi,
I am planning for spiti circuit starting from Shimla and exit from Manali from 2 May onwards...could you please advise if roads will be open by that time and also advise itinerary for stoppages as I'll be doing solo bike ride
I highly doubt that Manali Kaza road will open by that time. All depends on weather. For itinerary check How to plan a road trip to Spiti Valley from Shimla in 10 days? [2024 Best Spiti Valley Itinerary]: ruclips.net/video/g3dzmou9o3Y/видео.html

Hi Dheeraj, Iam planning to go to spiti valley in the 1st week of May, so the roads will be opened at that time? Is it worth it going at that period? I just want to have the information before booking the tickets
Hello Julie, Well, the road from Shimla - Kinnaur side is open but from Manali side it will be closed and open later by middle to end of May all weather dependent. So, if you plan to go and come from Shimla side, you can plan the trip. Check my itinerary video which has two plans and one of them cover Shimla side only plan: ruclips.net/video/g3dzmou9o3Y/видео.html
Thanks Dheeraj bhai. This time we are planning ladakh again in end June (due to elections in India). Will monsoon affect our road travel?
Monsoon in north india is like July end and August

Will we face any issues from Kargil to Leh on 25th April. ? As we are not crossing Zojla Pass so will we still face any issues on Kargil to Leh Strech of the highway ? Does this strech also closes or it remains operational ?
Dost, Kargil to Leh is open and should remain operational now. You should not have any issues on that stretch
Dhiraj bhai Iam planning in the first week of June through Manali -Leh route,will it be possible?
By that time manali leh should be open
