There’s no denying. Ladakh is a mystical place with a pulling power like few others. Time and again explorers make their way through highly treacherous terrains and respond to its irresistible call. From snowbound passes, barren flat plains of gravel and sand to the pristine azure of its lakes, it’s a region that captivates our collective imagination. Especially the urban imagination. Trapped in our worlds of daily commutes, rush-hour traffic, offices, deadlines and everything else mundane, it is easy to let our mind wander and turn us into adventurous explorers in ladakh. Besides, where else can one experience true freedom if not in this remote region tucked away in the northern Himalayas
So, avid travelers that we at Auto Bild India are, we decided to answer the call of this mystical, beautiful region once again, even though we have been here before many times . In fact, it was only last year that we had driven up to the world’s highest motor able pass – the fearsome Khardung-la at over 18,000 ft, in the world’s cheapest car-the Tata Nano. But this time around our agenda was different. This time we would seek ...
... out water in this remote and dry region where, until the recent cloudburst, rain was virtually as rate as sighting a blue moon. And not just any kind of water. No, our journey would take us to the largest high altitude lake of our country. Indeed, it is one of the largest transnational lakes of Asia, with about two –thirds of the lake being inside Tibetan territory.
From Delhi there are two routes that one can choose. One, via Srinagar, Kargil and Drass and then through the Zoji- la into ladakh. With a thrill for hardcore adventure we decided to journey on the shorter but much more difficult route through manali, juspa, Sarchu, Rumtse, Upshi and Karu on to leh.
Of Manila is fairly straightforward and nothing really to write home about. Get to Chandigarh. Get out of the other side of town a head towards Roper and then on to Kullu. Take the kullu bypass and continue to manali. It’s a good distance but if one starts early enough and doesn’t stop route to much, it is possible to reach the hill station in a day. We did.
From Manali to Rohtang-la, one of the most frequented passes in India, if not the most frequented passes, is a harrowing even if beautiful drive. Traffic, ill parked, cars jaywalking tourists by the road and the refuse that such large numbers of tourists inevitably generate just take the joy out of the drive.
