Srinagar to Leh

Ride from the lush valleys of Kashmir to the high-altitude desert of Ladakh on NH1. This 2-day journey typically conquers the Zoji La Pass, which was notably open beyond February 28th this year. However, recent avalanches and heavy snowfall have led to its closure, and the region is currently under IMD weather alerts for heavy rain, snowfall, and landslides. Travelers should check current road status before attempting the pass. Additionally, Inner Line Permits are no longer required for Indian tourists in Ladakh, replaced by an Environment Fee. The trip also pays tribute at the Kargil War Memorial and experiences the dramatic landscape shift at Lamayuru's Moonland before arriving in Leh.
