Day 8 Leh - Sarchu

Begin the spectacular drive on the Leh-Manali Highway. This high altitude road beyond the Great Himalayan range, on the edge of the Tibetan plateau, connects the densely fertile Kullu valley to the stark barren region of Ladakh, once accessible only from Kashmir. The journey is through some of the most spectacular mountain scenery ever witnessed by road travelers. As one traverses the main ranges of the Himalayas, the stark contrast in the topography becomes apparent. Ladakh and later Lahoul reveal barren landscapes that assume fantastic and bizarre shapes. Surrealistic colors splash off rocks ranging in colour from various shades of brown to rust, gold, pink, and yellow. The road follows the Indus river, going past relatively fertile and prosperous villages and monasteries. The first pass to be crossed is the Tanglang la (17,475 ft/5,328 m), the highest point on the journey. At the top is a tiny temple with a few prayer flags rustling in the breeze. The road goes past Debring, and on to the Kyangsu Plains - one of the largest in Ladakh - a level stretch of over 40 km named after the Kyang or wild ass, which roams these plains and is often seen in herds of over 50 animals at a time. The road then ascends to the Lachlung la (16,615 ft/5,065 m). After crossing the pass, the road winds down to the Tsarap Chu Valley. Cross the river and continue on to Sarchu for your overnight stay.

Day 9 Sarchu - Manali

From here, a very gradual climb leads to the Baralacha la (16,020 ft/4,883 m). The ascent is so gradual that one hardly realizes it - in fact the pass itself is a level stretch of 8 km, with a small lake at the top. This is the source of the Bhaga river. The pass is also the source of the Chandra river, which flows in the opposite direction to the Bhaga and later joins to form one river. The snow covered peaks of the Barashigri, Chandrabhaga and Mulkila ranges, towering well above 6,000 m, are visible. Follow the Bhaga river downstream, which later joins the Chandra river to form the Chenab, one of the biggest tributaries of the Indus. Pass Keylong, the district headquarters of Lahoul. Cross the last of the high passes - Rohtang Pass (13,047 ft/3,989 m). The barren hillsides of the Lahoul Valley are gradually replaced by the lush greenery of the Kulu Valley. From here the road slowly winds its way down to end the journey at Manali.
