LEH Trip was one of my dream trip in my life. I feel, Ladakh is one of the ultimate place for adventure trip in the world. Here you can get the experience of cold desert. In Ladakh, there have highest mountain motorable road in the world. Main beauties of Ladakh are the nature of mountains, colours of of mountains, colours of sky, cold desert and the amazing lakes. Sometimes you can get a chance to see some amazing wild animals. 

Itinerary and the Experience of My LEH Trip…

This is the itinerary and the experience of my LEH trip. I had made this plan for 9 days only, because I didn't get any more extra days from my tight work schedule.

Day 1 (21^st July, 2017): Kolkata to Delhi (By Flight) and Delhi to Manali (Overnight BUS Journey, to reach Manali)

I had started my journey from kolkata and my flight time was 2:15 pm. I reached delhi at 4:45 pm and I got a AC VOLVO bus at 8:00 pm from ISBT Kashmiri Gate. Overnight BUS Journey for to reach Manali from Delhi. But I suggest you to take a flight in the morning. So you can get more buffer time to reach the bus depot for Delhi to Manali BUS. Sometimes Delhi traffic may pathetic and you may miss your pre-booking bus.

I had a bad experience, “when I was traveling Delhi to Manali at night. Bus had given a halt in a DHABA, named "Haveli" for dinner. But the Haveli's food was pathetic.” I suggest you to carry dry food to kill hunger.
