    My wife my doggy and myself we drove (self drive) from Coimbatore to leh ladakh and back safely in a Maruti eeco. We had converted the van Into a sort of camper van with the back seat converted into bed cum seat and a small kitchen on the back
    It was a very wonderful experience

    Bro, I helped bikers at Whisky Nala.
    In the mid of June, I completed my first Leh-Ladakh trip and driven 2800 km overall. I would suggest better go for a good ground clearance car if you're going for the first time because the roads are very bad in most areas.
    1. Don't overload your car
    2. Carry fuel jerry cans & puncture kit
    3. Carry medicines & food supplies
    4. Bikers, avoid tube tyres otherwise carry spare tubes.
    Bad Roads status:
    1. Nearby Jojillpass
    2. Nubra to Pangong
    3. Pangong to ChangLa
    3. Nearby KhardungLa
    4. Nearby BaralachaLa
    5. Pang to Sarchu
    Don't throw garbage on roads, don't drink & drive.

    • @discoverwithdheeraj
      @discoverwithdheeraj  Рік тому +1

      It is monsoon time in general up there in North and in some parts of Manali - Chandigarh Highway and Kinnaur Valley roads you might need to face monsoon hassles like landslides, rock fall, road closures, etc.. but once you get closer to Spiti Valley, then Spiti 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 Spiti 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 Spiti Valley in August or Monsoons at the link: ua-cam.com/video/t76f-poOHyQ/v-deo.html

    Very informative video Sir! Big fan of you. ❤
    I am having one confusion Sir. It'd be of great help if you could help me understand this so that I can plan for Ladakh trip with my wife.
    I'm planning to book a cab from Ladakh Taxi Union.
    I am planning to either choose Scorpio or Innova Crysta.
    It seems Scorpio would be a better choice here since it has a higher ground clearance.
    But in the Ladakh Taxi Union website Innova Crysta is categorised as A+ and Scorpio is categorised as B class.
    Any reason why is it so?
    Will Innova Crysta offer more safety and comfort than Scorpio?

    • @discoverwithdheeraj
      @discoverwithdheeraj  8 місяців тому

      thank you so much!!!
      Innova Crysta is A+ because it offers much more comfortable ride and seats than Scorpio. If you are not taking any very very remote or offbeat road in Ladakh, well, I will say Innova with local driver will be better choice.
      For taxi in Ladakh, Chamba - 09596979829 / 09906999808. A very, very nice and humble person from Ladakh. Knows me pretty well, more like another family friend in Ladakh.

      This information is very useful.
      This time I will be travelling only through the well-known routes:
      1. Leh - Nubra (via Khardung La)
      2. Nubra - Pangong (via Agham Shyok)
      3. Pangong - Hanle (via Tsaga La)
      4. Hanle - Tso Moriri (via Nyoma - Mahe)
      5. Tso Moriri - Leh (via Chumathang)
      As per your guidance, I guess for this plan Innova Crysta would be the best choice. Thanks a lot for sharing Chamba's number as well. 😀

      One question I almost forgot to ask.
      I am planning to visit Ladakh during September 1st week as my goal is to see Pangong in "aqua green" colour.
      Also I want to see some "greenery" around as well.
      Initially, I was planning for August last week, but as that is rainy season, the water crossings in the Agham-Shyok route would be large in numbers. To avoid such water crossings as much as I can, I am planning to visit during September 1st week.
      But I am also worried about the tourist crowd.
      Would September 2nd week be a better choice keeping all these pointers in mind?
      Or, I would be good during September 1st week itself?
