What to see on Manali Leh Highway?
The whole of the Manali Leh highway is quite honestly a tourist destination. This 400 km long road is a destination where you will enjoy the natural beauty of every turn. I find it quite difficult and not even fair to point out one particular place which can be referred to as a “tourist attraction.” Yeah, I’m agreed that some places are worth a bit longer than others and the idea underpinning this article is to give you information on what you’re going through to keep your eye open.
Below is a list of what you’ll find on Manali Leh Highway.
- Natural beauty as no other: it’s certainly at the top of the list. Each turn would enchant you, as I mentioned above. Every sigh is worth seeing, from the lush green hills of the valley of Kullu to the cold barren wilderness of the Ladakh.
- Adventure: Do I have to say that? Driving on a road that’s only five months in a year opened and finishing your journey fills your mind with a lifetime feeling of achievement.
- Solitude: Solitude is sometimes hard to find in a country like ours, the second most popular in the world, but during your trip from delhi to Leh you will get a lot.
- Peace: the soul in sight, the only sound of the cold wind, on a hill with snowy mountains all around, and you will get the idea.
- Culture: Lady, monasteries, food and wonderful people experience and bear witness to their culture and customs; you will not find anything else in the country.
- High altitude passes: you pass a total of five high altitudes to Leh, which is an experience each one of itself.
- Nallahs: Driven by the water stream with damaged rocks below, on one side a mountain and on the other straight? Get ready, because you’re going to do it on Manali Leh road several times.
