- Umling La Pass in Ladakh is the highest motorable pass or road in the world at an altitude of 19024 feet. A lot of people ask me if they can travel to Umling La Pass in 2024, how can they get Umling La Pass permits to visit it, and where is it located? Is there a map for Umling La Pass routes? How are the road conditions to reach Umling La Pass? Best time to travel to Umling La Pass, how many days do you need, and what itinerary to follow? Should I carry spare petrol or fuel to visit Umling La Pass?
In order to visit Umling La pass, you need to first reach Hanle. From Hanle, you can make a day visit to Umling La Pass using 5 different routes via Photila Pass or Ukdungle route or Nurbula Top. You can also travel from Loma - side via Koyul or Demochok routes.
Umling La pass lies in the sensitive region of Ladakh with proximity to LAC on the Indo-Tibet border.
Since 2021 when Umling La Pass got the Guinness Book of World Records for being the highest motorable road in the world, a lot of tourists have started traveling to Umling La Pass and hence in this video today I present you a detailed travel guide to plan a trip to Umling La Pass in 2024.

Hi, Is going in the month of June to umlingla ok ..I mean the weather and I will be going from Manali
Hi Dheeraj ji.
I have been following you for quite some time in UA-cam & u r one of my main source for my planning of Leh ladakh bike trip & i love how u clarify everhing just the way we wants. Keep up the good work brother.
As I am a busy professional, I have less time to plan my entire trip on my own. We wl be around 6 people. So we have planned to go with conducted tours of travel companies. We have shortlisted some of the companies. We intend to do Umlingla in the entire circuit trip d not just from Leh to Leh. . One such company is providing srinagar-leh-umlingla-manali-delhi circuit.
My main query is whether Umlingla is open for group bike tours this year. We intend to go on last week of May or 1st week of June.
Some companies are saying army will not give permission this year, some are saying it's permitted.
So can we visit Umlingla in a group bike tour. We are in dilemma whether to book the Umlingla trip or not.
Plz suggest brother.
Thank you brother.. 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
For bike rentals or bike tours in Leh Ladakh, personally, I can recommend Ladakh Bike Rental shop run by Gurmat Namgial (+91-9419980089), (+91-9419303024), ladakhbikerental@gmail.com. Gurmat is a dear friend, a reliable and trustworthy guy based out in Leh.
Highly informative and educative videos. 👍Thanks. What are the average fuel efficiency and speed one can expect in the new Classic 350 on Leh>Manali highway?

Thanks for such helpful information ... Is there a Covid test required for Leh Ladakh trip. Planning to visit Leh in April 2023 end
Hi Pallavi, as per last year guidelines, yes, it is required unless you are fully vaccinated. However, rarely anyone is checking that now.
❤️🌹❤️
Thank you bhai
Sir, my tour operator has given me this route
April 22 : Arrival & Rest in hotel. Drink plenty of water 3-4 liters each day.
April 23: Day Trip to Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, Sangam,Magnetic Hill,Shanti Stupa & Leh Palace. Overnight stay in Leh.
April 24 : Move to Nubra valley via Khardungla pass and visit Diskit Monastery.
April 25: Rest and exploration day. We will visit Turtuk village today.
April 26:Transfer to Pangong Lake via Shyok River, Stay.
April 27: Move to Hanle homestay. Explore the Indian astronomical observatory,Hanle.
April 28: Visit to Umingla pass and then Transfer to Korzok to visit Tsomoriri lake via Nyoma valley.
April 29: Transfer to Leh via Puga and Tso Kar/ Mahe bridge back to Leh.
April 30 : Drop to airport.
Any suggestions Sir from your side???
The route is fine, only long travel is on the day you go from Hanle to Unlimg La and drive to Korzok.
If you start by 6 am from Hanle you should reach Korzok by 6 pm.
Ken bhai has already suggested few inputs. From my side, I will say staying overnight at Pangong lake will be tough because cold conditions. So, make sure you go prepared. Visit to Umling La and then to Tso Moriri is possible byt leave early. Same comment for Tso Moriri for cold conditions as Pangong, even more cold.
Hello Dheeraj Bhai, How is road from Spangmik -> Merak ->Chushul -> Loma to go towards Hanle and Umlinga la pass? I'm planning to go from Leh to Pangong followed by Umling la. Please advise.
Spangmik to Chusul is most dirt track kind of road with loose sands in between, then from Chusul to Tsaga La, mostly same dirt track and somewhere around Tsaga Village you will get tarmac road all the way to Loma - Hanle. Umling La I have already shared in the video.
Hi Dheeraj, What application are you using to show us the map view from Chisumle to Umling La Pass? Google maps doesn't show any route. In between great job for this info!
I have hand drawn on Google Earth images and embedded it as video here. You can check my link of travel guide where I have these routes shared on Google Maps with custom hand drawn layer
devilonwheels.com/plan-trip-umling-la-pass-highest-motorable-pass/amp/
There is a section in above article where you can find embedded map and open it in full screen for better view.
Once you reach Chisumle bridge then you just take it towards Umling La - Demochok and there is no confusion then as one and only one road leads to Umling La there with multiple signs
Thanks Dheerajbhai for regularly posting such informative videos. I would like to know if one should book Guesthouse/Homestays in advance? Or is there adequate availability and does not require pre-booking? Curious to know about stays options because in Leh Ladakh trip adjustments in itinerary are required due to difficult and unavoidable circumstances.
I completely understand the apprehensions bhai and if you are going in season time then hotels will be booked but homestays can be available. Outside season time it is in general OK to land there and search a bit to find the one that suits you.
Hi - i go in 24 September to new Delhli and rent a motorcycle and go to Umling la. I have question, is there some fuel statiom /gas station? Where i refuel fuel to my engine? Thanks
Bhai aap ye video check karein mera fuel k routes k liye: ua-cam.com/video/6Oksvn5jBwU/v-deo.html
Awesome, very informative and must watch before visiting Umling La pass. Is it safe to do a car trip to Umling La with parents (Age 64) ?
Akshay bhai, it all depends on your itinerary. Traveling to Ladakh with old age parents, plz check: ua-cam.com/video/jxN7smgxvKY/v-deo.html
Where all we can find Fuel stations other than Leh and Nubra ? Is there any Station near Durbuk, Tangtse to Hanle ?
Leh, Karu, Diskit in Nubra Valley, then at Tangtse near Pangong Lake... No petrol pump after that
D sir, is it compulsory to visit LEH (if we have paid the environment fees online)..?
Can we turn right at Upshi towards Hanle...?
Please respond. I am planning to visit UMLING LA this November 2nd week in a car......
Bhai November mein by road from Manali Leh 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 please dont take such risks.. it is too too risky to be there at such time of the year
For other part if one should plan a trip from Upshi to Hanle or Umling la well plz check this video

Hi Dheeraj, Can you please share in detail route to UmlingLa via Demchuk. Are we still going via Loma/ Hanle? Thanks
Buddy, I did explain it.. Check following timestamps:
2:38 Umling La Map
8:09 Loma - Koyul - Demchok - Umling La
Hi Dheeraj, is there any update on Delhi -Srinagar highway.
I m also worried reg Delhi- Manali highway as I hv a 9 day trip planned from 11th Aug.
What do you suggest?
It is monsoon time in general up there in North and at some parts of Manali - Leh Highway (like before Baralacha La) and Srinagar - Leh Highway (like before Kargil) you might need to face monsoon hassles but once you get closer to Ladakh, then Ladakh 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 Ladakh 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 Ladakh in Monsoons at the link:ua-cam.com/video/TQjBw5pCGx8/v-deo.html
Dheeraj sir when will the Srinagar Leh road open for bikes? We are planning to ride on 28th. Would really appreciate any info you can share on this.
Amit bhai, Srinagar Leh tourists have started getting allowed. Right now window is 2 hrs on alternate days for one way traffic. Check my recent updates: ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhDgAOBKFHnEZOccpgqktjoBudaUWrXlx
Do you know if a Frenchman can climb peaks like Pologongka, Chalung or Peldo in the corner of Tso Moriri?? Thank you for your reply.
Probably yes but you need to confirm from DC office in Leh but since it is not towards border area and part of inner line if foreigners are permitted then only thing is if these can be done in 7 days ex Leh. You get permit for only 7 days at a time and then you need to renew in Leh for another 7 days as far as i know
@@discoverwithdheeraj I hope to at least go to Tso Moriri Lake and Kaksang the pass if not go to the Umlingla Pass. I am afraid that foreigners will not be allowed to go to Umlingla pass.
You should be able to visit these two places. You can split the trip in two parts. One with Nubra, Pangong and around Leh. Then renew your permit for 7 days and go for Kaksang La, Hanle, Tso Moriri route
Hello Dhiraj, I am planning to visit umling la this year in mid may. It is feasible on bike during this time? I am planning to go via the Merak route to Hanle and then Umling la
Yes road shall be open in middle of May
Thank you sir! i want to do this on a bicycle. Which route would be the best? via srinagar or via manali. would one require to carry campit gear? is accommodation and food available one the way? i am going to ride from Manali to Leh on mid September 2023. i had done this route last year around the same time. i will modify my plan based on your inputs.Thank you very much.
As you are doing Manali to Leh, then take rest in Leh for couple of days. After that you can start the travel towards Hanle via Chumathang route. Please check video of Hanle Travel Guide on my channel, I think it is one episode before this one. From Hanle do Umling la via Photola route.. follow guidance in the video above for Umling routes
Bhai , how much time we can spend at high passes like pensila pass for photo clicking and sight-seeing
Generally above 15-16000 feet you should not stay more than 20-25 minutes.. about 14000 feet you may stay like 35-45 minutes.
Hi Dheeraj Bhai
I am reaching leh on 13th April and planning to start for nubra valley on 16th April. May i know if bikes are allowed in khardungla pass and what is the status of road??? Are they stopping bikes at khardungla pass??
Ravi, if BRO thinks that it is unsafe to ride a bike during your visit they will not allow.
Hello Dheeraj bhai, any idea when does sach pass route opens.
Seems like by May end as of now.
Thanks for such a detailed video on the remotest area like UmlingLa. Can u please tell how much quantity of Petrol is allowed to bikers to carry in a jerry can from any Petrol Pump in Ladakh region? Is there any kind of restriction relating to the quantity of fuel?
It depends on your bike mileage and what is your itinerary? If you share I can help
@@discoverwithdheeraj Dear friend, we will be hiring RE Classic 500.
In mid june we r going.
After Leh, we will start from Nubra to Pangong.
Next day to Hanle (Stay)
Next day UmlingLa and try to stay in nyoma
Next day from Nyoma to Leh.
You need to manage about 600 km without petrol pumps after Tangtse to Karu with above itinerary. With full tank, it will be like you may cover around 320 km. So, you will need to carry about 15-20 ltrs.
Thank you dada for your information❤❤❤, Please tell me about any problem for Bangladeshi tourist to visit Umling La point.
I do not think bhai you can visit Inner Line Areas of Ladakh without taking permission from MEA New Delhi.
I am planning to do Chennai-Srinagar-Leh-Khardung la-Umling la-Chennai next month on Tiago EV!
Can you post a video of available charging stations in these routes.
Sir hanle se umlinga Jane ke liye konsa route le nurbula or photila hum hero extreme 160r pe 2 jane hai

dhreeaj bhai tempo travelar rent par jate hain???? vai please bol dena
Jaate hain Tempo traveler rent par.. aap Leh taxi union se le sakte ho tempo traveler
Hey thank you for the detailed info. I have a doubt , is it possible to do Leh > Tso Moriri > Hanle(Night Stay) same day, if we leave from Leh by 7 AM. ? Or Nyoma > TSO Moriri > Fuel up ar Karu > Lato(night stay) . What do you suggest ?
Second option is more favourable than first as adding Tso Moriri means adding about 3+ hrs in Leh to Hanle journey of 8-9 hrs
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you soo much for your guidance. A ques more, is thr a time limit to cross Upshi checkpost from Leh side when going towards Manali ?
I believe there will be in initial days.. when are you planning?
@@discoverwithdheeraj 19th Aug to 31st Aug.
Sir
From chisumle bridge to umling la there is no route showing in Google maps
So if I reach the bridge is it easy for me to go to umling la
Yes, it is one single road with many markers and points that goes all the way to Umling La. Many people will be traveling so not to worry
Hi Dheeraj, what if anyone who wants to enter hanle from pangong side , then umling-la and exit from tso- moriri. Will he get a petrol pump on the way to tso moriri. If not then for how many KM's we need to carry extra fuel for this route?
Sudipta, only closest petrol pump will be Tangtse (34 kms before Pangong lake) then you need to manage the whole Tangtse to Hanle to Tso Moriri to Keylong without petrol pump, roughly 840 kms
@@discoverwithdheeraj840 Km including Umling-la ?? And between tso moriri to keylong, where can we get stay options ??
Yes 840~ kms approx including Unling La provided you fill petrol at Tangtse. You can stay at Sarchu after Tso Moriri and then next day do Sarchu to Manali via Keylong
Hello Dheeraj,
We have 1 day less in our itinerary to complete both Umling La Pass & Tso Moriri Lake.
Which one should we skip we are following Leh Nubra Pangong Hanle route. Visiting ladakh for the first time group of friends traveling in a car
Well you can start early from Hanle, visit Umling La and then reach Tso Moriri by evening same day
Very helpful video Bhai..
I have booked a self drive car from srinagar for my journey. I have a question brother..
Can i go to kargil war memorial from sonamarg (via zozila pass - drass) using the self drive car i took from srinagar? Or is there any restriction for that? Also i there any traffic restrictions at Zozila pass currently?
No bhai, there is no restrictions for such trips. Restriction is within Ladakh for sightseeing places only. You are free to take the car anywhere else and even reach Leh and exit from Leh. So, Kargil anyways will not be a problem. Also, if you can share the details of this self-drive it may help others too at admin @ devil on wheels dot com.
Regarding timings of Zojila, when are you traveling? It depends on that. Right now there is restriction of having anti-skid chains with the vehicle as well as ODD/EVEN days of one way traffic. Traffic only gets allowed in morning for 1-2 hrs 7-8.30 AM, I think.
can I visit umling la pass with my Dzire in last week of may and if yes then plz suggest me which route to take out of these 5 routes explained by you
Vaibhav bhai, routes are better for sedan now a days but you can try from Ukdungle/Photila route.. it wont be that easy but if you have experience you may do it!! Please take utmost care and caution when driving and only if confident then only travel up there as the roads are desolate and any help is hard to find up there.. If you can tag along anyone then it will be better...
Hi Dheeraj sir, your videos are very informative. Thanks for making such videos. I'm planning to travel to Leh-Ladakh in May as a solo traveler and want to cover the whole circuit (Leh, Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri, Hanle, Turtuk, and also Suru valley). Can you guide me with this and also if you can share numbers of sharing taxi drivers...that would be very helpful. Thank you!
Hi Uttama, shared taxis can be found only on spot. There are no pre-bookings available for it. You need to keep such a plan very flexible with lots of days at hand. Starting point this video: ua-cam.com/video/kbrv1A_NJmk/v-deo.html

Great video! Can I ask which of your top 13 highest roads from the website has the most beautiful photographic views? I was thinking of doing Umling La Pass but the views don't seem as spectacular as I had hoped.
Well, most of these passes may not offer views from the very top but the views on the way are much more beautiful than the views from the passes itself.. it is very difficult to say and chose between these views of so many beautiful passes.. but I really enjoy the views from Umling La Pass, as they feel much more remote.. especially when to travel between Chisumle and Umling La and then when you travel Umling La to Photi La and Photil La to Hanle ... Even the views from Kaksang La are really beautiful especially the Mitpal Tso lake.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thankyou! I have flicked through some of the videos of the way up you speak of and they do indeed look amazing! I am a photographer from the UK and have been to the top of El Teide and Moana Kea. I am not a mountaineer though and so this probably appeals to me more than trying to climb Everest, etc. I am very tempted to take this drive but it looks like a LOT of planning! If i do I shall be sure to watch these videos carefully! Thanks!

Hello bro..do we need permit to travel nubra valley and pangong lake..aur just keeping adhaar card will be sufficient?
Since 2021 end of season, Indian do not need any permit anymore in Ladakh for regular sightseeing. You just need to pay the Ladakh Environment Fee on the website and carry the receipt of it. Here is the link where you need to pay it: www.lahdclehpermit.in/register-as-domestic
Current Ladakh environment fees are broken down as following:
1. Environment Fee = Rs 400 one time
2. Wildlife Fee/Something = Rs 20 per day
3. Red Cross Fee = Rs 50 one time but Optional, you don’t need to pay if you don’t want to.
DO NOT confuse environment fee receipt with permit. You just need to carry this fee receipt, hard copy or soft copy. This receipt will be checked at various checkposts. Hence, people are confusing it with permit but this is just verification that you have paid the fees.

What is the recommended time to start from Hanle?
What is the best time of the day to reach Umling La?
If you start at 6/7 am from Hanle you should be back to Hanle by 1 or 2 pm.
You can ride/drive back to Leh on the same day if you have the bandwidth.
If you’re staying in Hanle then you can even start by 9 am.
Best time to reach Umling La will depend on the weather on the day of your travel.
Ken bhai has already replied to your inputs. Consider about 6-7 hrs considering breaks, photos, time at the top. Try to start early always in such remote areas. Leave by 7 AM so that you are back by 1-2. 10 AM - 12 PM is a good time to be there at the top...
@@kenagrawal Thank you 👍🏼
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you 👍🏼
Dheeraj, can I take my 1997 bullet via Srinagar>Kargil>LeH>Manali. Plz advise
You can bhai I think there isn’t any restrictions as such… as long as you believe it is reliable and will not get you stuck in middle of nowhere or you are good at yourself in fixing it, it should be ok
Thank you dheeraj sir for such a informative video, i have doubts regarding permit of hanle, in one of your article you wrote we have to get stamp to visit hanle from leh DC office, but in this video you are saying, there is no such need, please clarify sir, thanks in advance...
Rajiv ji, there is no need now since 2021 the need for any permit or special stamp has been removed. You only need to pay environment fee and carry it's receipt print out with you. There is no need. Also, if you can share my article where I may missed to remove/update that part, it will be helpful for me to get that edited.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you sir...
@@discoverwithdheeraj Sir one more question please, is it possible to reach hanle in a single day from leh via keyla pass - pangong lake - rezang la
No Rajiv that is a very long route and will need two days. You can rach Hanle from Leh via Chumathang ij one day
Hi dheeraj
Just an information, Me last August 2022 me gaya.
tsmoriri me ek hospital he.. just entry karte hi he wahan .apko basic medicine and Oxygen bhi mil jayega
..and yes BSNL ka network pakadta he in Tsmoiri but it depends on Indian Army wo hi service ko handle karte he..
Thanks bhai for the update
Hello Dheerja bhai... Very nice information... Hum log Pangong Tso se Umling La pass jane ka soch rahe hai??? 10 liter extra fuel sufficient hoga kya??? Almost sab ki Bullets hai...

@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you very much... Ye video dekhta hoon mai pakka...
Awsome..
Planning to visit from 30.04 till 08.05 and want to cover umlingla pass khardungla pass and pengong lake. Please suggest road map
Are you flying to Leh?
Hi Sir
Great admirer of your videos and valuable info shared is highly appreciable .
I am planning for Ladakh for around 12 day trip starting on 15th May starting from Kanpur U. P.
It is a self driven car road trip. Car is tiago diesel. So firstly I want to ask can 1.05 engine would work for 4 persons or shall I limit it to 2-3.
I choose 15th because 19th may is new moon night and milky Way in hanle is a dream .
Hanle, umlingla, puga , tso moriri n pangong are must visit.
Kindly guide
Well, car should be OK, your driving experience in hills matter more but yes less the weight/luggage/passengers you take better will be.
Well, if you start from Kanpur then 19th May you cannot be in Hanle or I will say should not be in Hanle to avoid health issues/AMS. You should go from Srinagar side come to hanle from Leh or Pangong side.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thanks for prompt and valuable response.
I am all open to prepone my journey but not planning to include srinagar as not looking out for complete circuit. Please suggest if two days are enough means journey commencing on 13th instead of 15th.
That shall be OK. If the roads open via Manali then try below
Sleep at Solang Valley instead of Manali
Manali/Solang to Jispa
Jispa to Leh
Leh Rest Day
Leh to Nubra
Nubra to Pangong
Pangong to Hanle
Umling La Day trip
Hanle to Tso MOriri
Tso Moriri to Sarchu
Sarchu to Manali
Thank you Dheeraj bhai.. such a informative description as always. I have a question regarding my upcoming travel in May. Can you please confirm the timing for crossing the Zojila pass from Sonmarg to Kargil side in May. And is it mandatory to keep an oxygen cylinder for emergency purpose when we go to other parts of Ladakh like Nubra, Panggong from Leh? Because one of my colleague traveled in last year in taxi and he said all taxi driver must carry a cylinder. If it is the case then where to get such cylinder if I go with self drive mode?
My pleasure Arindam bhai, the timing of Zojila will keep on changing as the season progress. What is right now will not be in June. So, plz inquire around your trip and I will share the updated ones. Regarding oxygen cylinder, taxis had a mandate last year. It is not mandate for private vehicles but you can always get a oxygen cylinder in the Leh market.
Thank you for the update. I shall be going in mid of May and I hope both the highways would be open by then. And I shall again enquire you in beginning of May.
Sure thing!
How is the road condition in teo Moriri? Can I do Pangong to TSO Moriri, night stay over there and then TSO Moriri to Sarchu - Manali. I will be traveling with a bike group, but they are not including TSO Moriri. So, planning to visit Pangong to TSO Moriri Directly.
The roads to Tso Moriri are OK. After Mahe, there are some sections where it is broken but nothing really bad. Pangong to Tso moriri is possible in a day and then Tso Moriri to Sarchu next day and then Sarchu to Manali.
In which month did you shoot the video between 11:00 mins to 11:10 mins? Just wanted to understand in which month we can see clear sky and clear hill background if we capture the photos in Ladakh...
Most of these videos are shot in September
Thanks a lot Dheeraj for the detailed information, I am planning to travel Umlingla pass in 1st week of May. I am from Bangalore and I will be flying to Chandigarh on 27th April. From Chandigarh we are travelling by road. Unfortunately, I got to know about your channel after my flight tickets were book to Chandigarh and I cannot make it from Srinagar this time as per your suggested route for Ladhak. Can you help to suggest the best route if we are travelling from Chandigarh - Manali to Umling La? Will you recommend this route Sarchu - Moore Plains - Debring - Tso Kar - Tso Moriri - Hanle - umlingla pass? Or is it best to drive Leh and drive back to Umling La pass for AMS issue?
I do not recommend directly traveling to Umling La from Manali side due to AMS concerns. Those places are remote and much high in altitude. With un-acclimatized body and fatigue of long distance travel with rest, you are vulnerable to AMS. Hence, don't do it. Reach Leh first, have rest there, go to Nubra -> Pangong -> Hanle -> Umling La.
BTW, there is a chance that Manali - Leh Highway may not have opened by that time for tourists. It is not yet open for tourists. All depends on weather in coming days.
Hi Dheeraj bhai,
I am planning to visit Leh on 1st oct, can i visit Umlingla pass at that time with my car having ground clearance 165mm? pass will be open ?
Yes, you can visit Umling La Pass.. just make sure that weather is fine before leaving Hanle.
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks a lot for your confirmation

Hello, i want to travel hanle, can i carry my drone (249gram) to hanle , given that i am travelling through flight. And is there any problem the airport authorities can cause for carrying a drone?
I think you can carry as per weight conditions... Also don't ever fly it near army settlements or locations.. IN Leh lot of places with "No Drone Fly Zones"
Is new petrol pump open at Nyoma recently?
yes it is open! People have filled fuel up there
Aap Padum se Lamayaru wala update post kijiye please.
Bhai next Sunday that video will be publsihed
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you.
Thanks lot Bhai..was looking for this information..how much time it takes to travel to umling la from hanle and back ?
Also, Is it possible to start from hanle early morning , visit umling la and then drive back via hanle to have a overnight stay at Upshi ? How many hours I am looking at over all, google maps shows just 5 hrs from hanle to upshi
Well, that is totally fine if you want to do it. Leave by 7 AM and you will be back to Hanle by 1 PM and then keep traveling to Upshi.. roads are fine so you will be able to reach by 7-8 PM or stay at Teri Village, Cho House and then continue from there
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks a lot Dheeraj for all the guidance.. Take care
Hello Dheeraj, I will be starting my leh trip from tomorrow and it will end on 15th April. I have never jumped into the snow in my life. Please guide me which is the best place in ladakh where I can find snow to play and jump into it. I want to travel as affordable as possible like using public and local transport . I'm okay with sharing taxis also.
I hope you are having a wonderful trip, seems you are commenting here too late for any help plus I am not sure what your plan is for just 3 days.,..

You can take Umling La Pass to Photi La to Loma to Nyoma to Mahe to Tso Moriri
