I recently covered parts of this route...turned off from Wanla ...photoksar Nerak Zangla Padum.....then next day some crazy experiences near Cha village when my Jimny got stranded....that took some 3 days to reach Mandi....long story....I have shared your channel in some Jimny FB pages as a 'Go To' channel for the Hill circuits...your channel is a fantastic resource !
Wow.. I am glad you are safely back after that adventure.. sometimes things do go out of control and I heard that there is some construction going on these days around Cha - Anmo area for the road.... And brother, thank you so very much for sharing my channel and content, it means a lot to me...
Survived here on 29th July 2024 in a flashflood and rock shooting between Nerak and Lingshed. Lucky to be alive. Avoid small cars here specially front wheel drive. I had 4x4 the reason I survied in extreme conditions.
Manish bhai.. glad to know that you came back safely.. some of these routes when not opened till officially can be very dangerous and especially in monsoon/rain time.. happy bhai that you came back safely..
namaste dheeraj ji! i was planning to go to delhi-srinagar-leh-nubra-pangong-hanle-manali-delhi from 21st september. i was confused if i should go on altis or polo. can you please tell me which car is better. both of the cars will have 2 passengers only and no luggage as it will be in our other car(endeavour and thar). which car is better to take? Also altis is more comfortable for me to drive. pl consider that too if possible as i am in favour of altis and you are saying that roads are very challenging so i had this query. both cars are automatic. if possible to tell why? Nd your comment will be the final decision and i am confused. 😊And btw i planned the trip by watching just your videos! big fan sir!😊
Karan bhai, I will prefer polo here because it will not have a boot. The sedans are usually the worst candidates in mountain with their boots hanging behind.. i am telling you from experience of driving Dzire old one, Santros and Swifts.. that too in old days of 2009-2010.. the hatchbacks are always better somehow than sedan. Since you are only two with no luggage the polo has a Peppy engine, you will better be with it. The road between Nubra to Pangong and Pang to Sarchu is where it will be most challenging.

thank you so much dheeraj ji! believe me this has helped me a lot!!😊😊 i hope the route that we are planning is good and by the way we will be covering all the points given in your video to visit.😊😊😊. and honestly speaking, the way you show your videos and explain. no one else does such clean and clear explanation. there is no confusion while watching your videos at all!!!😊😊
@@discoverwithdheeraj dheeraj ji just to be sure, the corolla will not have any luggage, then also it cannot go? i have the newest gen of corolla altis. i’m asking this because i’m going in september end and the road conditions will not be fine by then? dheeraj ji, sorry to disturb you but i’m just asking this because corolla feels way more comfortable for long trips. i hope you understand. i will be going from delhi-srinagar-leh-nubra-pangong-hanle-umlingla-tso moriri-manali-delhi. i saw your video but this was my query as the video is 1 year old and haven’t the roads improved since then?
@karanrajm19 bhai roads don’t improve considerably on fast pace in fact if you check my monthly update videos yoo willl know that road between pangong and nubra is broken, pang and sarchu is broken.. i am just saying in comparison bhai when asked.. but since corolla will be more comfortable and like you are saying boot will not hold anything you should be OK with it.. so you can take it just be careful in climbs on broken roads where the boot tends to bang when going through pot hole.. drive slow in those sections and plus September road conditions will certainly help too
Hello sir Can I go to ladakh by wagonr car. I will go through zozila pass and come back from Manali leh Highway so will it be possible by wagonr car please acknowledge sir.
Jai bhai, as Manish bhai said you can do it but please check tips mentioned in video: Leh Ladakh Trip in Small Car - Hatchback / Sedan / SUV | 7 Essential Tips for a Self-Drive Trip ruclips.net/video/MQuxokY-m8M/видео.html Road between Pang to sarchu is quite broken so drive cautiously there and Nubra to Pangong road is also mostly broken so you need to either avoid it and take Changla Pass road otherwise do it very carefully.
Thanks for sharing details of the video... im a new traveller wanting to visit gongbo ranjan between 4th Oct tl 11th Oct... is this doable and will we get camps at gongbo ranjan at this time
Camps could be wrapped up by then as cold sets in the trans-Himalayas by end of september. Some campsites though are there till OCtober middle but not 100% sure if they packup early or not.. early snowfall can result in packing up. It is possible to do this trip but please make sure weather is clear when leaving Jispa for next couple of days because getting stuck behind Shinkula with snowfall can be really bad.
Dheeraj bhai , entering the circuit on 26th September and will be exiting on 5/6th of October. Will enter from zanskar side and exit will be from Hanle side . Any suggestions from your side ?? Will there be any road blockage at that time ??? Please suggest .. I will be traveling on a motorcycle.
Unless it snows during the days of your travel days, roads should be open. When traveling on Manali Leh Highway just make sure that you leave on a clear day and weather should not be bad because you want to avoid getting stuck for couple of days in between. Avoid Sarchu overnight stay as overnight snowfall at Baralacha La will get you stranded so extend to Jispa.
@@discoverwithdheeraj yes I am planning to stay at Nyoma and from Nyoma will ride back to as much as possible.. Jispa / Keylong / Sissu or if time n weather permits , I will try to reach Manali directly . Will start early from Nyoma . Is it a wise plan ?
Padum to Leh via Lingshed is open but not the usual way.. at from Padum after reaching Lingshed junction you will have to continue to Nerak Junction then as described in video, you can climb up towards Chochogori La pass, Kong La pass, Yulchung Village and then meet the old route to further move to Singey La and Sirsir la to follow the old route. Currently what I heard is that the climb to Linghsed from Lingshed junction is closed hence you cannot take that part of old route
I am planning to take this route on 22 September 2024 which will be Sunday. I will be travelling from Padum to Leh via Nerak-Chilling, as it is not opened officially can we get any permit? How is the latest condition of this route?
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for your reply! One more question…The one checkpost is at Chilling, but while travelling from Nerak to Chilling which village we will find a checkpost where we can ask for a passage?
There are two routes, one made and thrown open in last two years that is where Lingshed U-Turn is when traveling from Manali/Padum to Leh.. there was another road in construction going straight from that U-Turn which passes through Nerak - Chilling - Nimmu. This route is not yet opened officially as of 2024 and this video covers the details of this new route. So, there are three routes now to go from Manali/Padum to Leh 1. Manali - Darcha - Padum - Lingshed Junction - Murgumla Top near Lingshed Village - Wanla Junction - Singey La Pass - Sirsir La Pass - Wanla Village - Khaltse - Nimmu (Sangam) - Leh [Old Route 2022-2023] 2. Manali - Darcha - Padum - Lingshed Junction - continue to Nerak Junction - Chochogori La Pass - Kong La Pass - Yulchung Village - Wanla Junction - Singey La Pass - Sirsir La Pass - Wanla Village - Khaltse - Nimmu (Sangam) - Leh [Mix of Old Route 2022-2023 + New Route 2024-2025] 2. Manali - Darcha - Padum - Lingshed Junction - on right side, continue to Nerak Junction - Chilling - Nimmu (Sangam) - Leh [Mix of Old Route 2022-2023 + New Route 2024-2025]
With all due respect sir.. But the route from Leh to Padum or padum to leh ( via chilling and nimmu) is still unclear... All i know that from sangam to chilling is 50km good road.. Then chilling to nerak is 30km..Still the road condition from nerak to padum is unclear
Well, I will surely make a detailed travel guide of this route in my format.. there is only a 20 km section that is not covered in this video which is from Nerak Junction to Lingshed Junction, the road conditions in this section of 20 km are dirt track over there as of 2 days before.. not as bad as what is between Chiling to Nerak but dirt track type of sections with broken roads in between... Now from Lingshed Junction to Zangla to Padum, I have covered in my travel guide of Lingshed - Singela - Sirsirla route. Lingshed Junction to Zangla road is also not tarred and broken at few places but again flat dirt track. Finally from Zangla to Padum is all tarred good road. this more like interview is to understand from Ken bhai about the route he did which was mainly he covered as the circuit. I hope above comment makes it clear, do watch my other episode of Travel Guide for PAdum to LEh via Lingshed Singey La Sirsir La route too. So, there are three routes now to go from Manali/Padum to Leh 1. Manali - Darcha - Padum - Lingshed Junction - take left U-turn to climb to Murgumla Top near Lingshed Village - Wanla Junction - Singey La Pass - Sirsir La Pass - Wanla Village - Khaltse - Nimmu (Sangam) - Leh [Old Route 2022-2023] 2.
