Today only I have come back from Ladakh trip of 7 days and I must say that the point 7 you mentioned, I have fallen prey to that. I feel incomplete here in my home in Delhi because I have left my soul in Ladakh and its people. So proud and happy that I could go there

Dheeraj you are amazing, your videos are very informative. I have one question. I am planning for 20 days in leh Ladakh trip. Is all new i20 dct vehicle suitable to travel in June. Suggest me where to buy good jerry cans. is 20 liters spare fuel is sufficient?

@@discoverwithdheeraj your videos clarifies most of the pointers, I am planning my visit to zanskar leh circuit for the first time having few queries, keeping cash would be a better idea considering remote locations also is it better for advance bookings for stays or places where stays are available will be easy to get accommodation. Or carrying a camp would be an option. Most important how and for which all places do we need permits and how can we get it in advance availability is offline or online? Thank You
Dheeraj Bhai! This is Ram Godar from Hyderabad. Offlate, I stumbled upon your videos on Leh-Ladakh. You are sharing the information with lots of clarity and fine details. Bhai! I am planning a trip with my wife to Leh-Ladakh in the second week of May 2024 according to your suggested itinerary of Entry from Srinagar-Leh Raod and exit through Leh-Manali Road. As you are aware Leh-Manali Road is closed at the moment. Can I book my flight to Delhi or Srinagar and start my trip on the 15th of May hoping the Leh-Manali road will open by the end of May or should I wait till the Leh-Manali road opens and then book the tickets? What is your suggestion?
Thanks Ram bhai.. pleasure to share the information! Well, there is a 60:40 chances in favour of Manali Leh being open after middle of MAy. There could be some disruptions and road may not be fully stable but chances are likely that it should be made through/open for light vehicles at least by that time.. All is subject to good weather in the coming weeks.. last few days has not helped due to snowfall and all.
Hi Dheeraj, love your informative videos! Couple of questions 1)Planning to go to Leh on 16th June, the roads will be opened? or should we postpone the plan? 2) Can you mention some contacts for bike rental in JammuAnd also in Leh
1. By middle of June roads should be open. 2. Not sure of Jammu but outside Leh rented bikes are not allowed for sightseeing in Ladakh., 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.

Dheeraj bhai, your videos are simply AMAZING! Always love watching them whenever i get time!! Very important information regarding hypoxia & AMS which can be extremely helpful in saving lives. Such info increases the value of your videos many folds!! Also, could advice people to avoid alcoholic drinks which are diuretic like beer etc which can cause dehydration 🙂. Best of luck sir! Hope to bump into you sometime at an airport 🙂🙂
Ajay bhai thank you firstly for being a member and always contributing to appreciate the efforts put in making these videos!! Absolutely the alcoholic drinks must be avoided too.

Hello, Is September first two weeks good for a safe driving? Will there be black ice on road? My route is Srinagar-kargil- leh- and exit through manali. My car is bs6 diesel ecosport.
Yes, carry light woolens for layering and rest summer clothes will be sufficient. Carry a pari of thermals for an overcast condition day, just in case.

Checking of private cars/bikes, especially in a small group, are pretty rare these days and this suggestion is a precautionary mesaure only.

There is no guarantee but this NOC document will be helpful in case someone stops you and objects the case of RC not being under your name.

fitness matters.....gym people or atheletes have no issues in mountain or have very little issue but unfit people suufers a lot.......we 5 friends where 3 gym goer and 1 boxer but 1 unfit pizza eater went on spiti trip......4 log thik the 1 bnda marne jaisi halat me tha(unfit one)
bhai, Well, the point is that do not thing that if you are fit you do not need to follow acclimatization principles. There is no corelation there but yes in general being healthy will help you anyways. However I have seen fittest of the fit kneel down to AMS when acclimatization priniciples are not followed even at the level where people are not just gym goers but they own gyms, are instructors for years.. I have seen them lying on hospital beds and taking oxygen in places like Leh and Zanskar! So, I am not suggesting that fitness will not matter at all but I am suggesting that people thinking that I am going to gym so AMS cannot do anything to me even if I do not follow acclimatization principles, that is where things can go wrong!
@@discoverwithdheeraj that gym owner must have abused steroids that's why he had problem but yes fit people would be fine because of higher rbc in bloodstream and good cardiovascular fitness....and unfit people must go under accilimatization to minimize effects
Sir we are going by bike. Can we carry the small oxygen cylinders that are available on Amazon and in medical stores. Will it be helpful in case of emergency?
Is there any political unrest expected in the last week of may? Asking because we are planning to go around 25 may and ladak elections are happening on 20th may. We are afraid that section 144 might be imposed and protests are going on there right now.
I am planning to go to ladakh in june with my parents ages 54 and 59.... They are physically fit...no health complications as such but recently the tests revealed they have slightly higher levels of cholesterol... Will it be safe to visit Ladakh for them ?

We r going to travel Leh through Manali - Leh highway on 4th June with family. Will road be opened on that day as per your information? We will portable oxygen can. Is that ok for some extent to avoid high mountain sickness?
There is high chance that Manali Leh will open in a 1 week or so.Here is the updated status on roads: ru-vid.comUgkx2xjmKZxqR6D6Q7eztEaq16GM0z0HKiSH Portable Oxygen do not provide enough protection.

Hi, I will be at pangong on 31st may. I just came to know that the property where i am booked dosn’t have a heater. I have seen so many vlogs where the stay has heaters. What can i do?
Well, some properties does have heater especially higher budget ones. If your property does not provide heater then better go well prepared with clothing and ask them for good quilts and blankets.

Hi, good video thanks for the info, small clarification...can we plan road trip for ladakh in winters? As I heard the roads will be blocked and we can't reach it is it true?
yes, Ladakh in winter can only be done via flight not by road. And even if Srinagar to Leh is open, it is unsafe to travel by road to Ladakh in winter time.
I am planning to visit ladakh by 1st October. I am confused. What I should you do entering from Jammu or manali.if I enter from Jammu then umlingla it will be late to return from manali. Plz guide me to make iteneray
Up to first two weeks of OCtober is still OK to travel on Manali Leh Highway but do not sleep between Jispa and Leh anywhere. Better you travel from Manali side to avoid traveling later in the month of OCtober and come back from Srinagar side. Check the itinerary below that you can modify and reverse but on Manali Leh, sleep first night at Solang Valley instead of Manali and second one sleep at Jispa and third Leh. Rest pretty much reverse the plan with Tso Moriri trip back to Leh.

I will suggest you to wait for at least 2-3 weeks for all routes to open and get somewhat stable.. Best will be to plan in June else in May you need to go with open mind.
I am not sure but have seen people fly it may be like at their will and risks.. just do not fly in border areas, sensitive military zones or populations, and no flyzone is not there as mentioned by posters and signages
Thanks brother, i had seen your videos before doing Winter Spiti in 2023 & it had helped me.. specially in mentally preparing myself. Although, had struggled with AMS there.. in evening mind started getting boggling & had maximum sleepless nights because i did it for the first time & that too in Winters.
Cold for a bike ride and Very Cold conditions at the passes and probably snow as well on the passes and cold conditions at Pangong Lake. Sometimes if unsafe, they may not even allow bikes in early season.

I will say you should strive for like 4-5 ltrs of fluids in the day. It is more liking sipping drinkins throughout the day not like drinking in large quantities once and then taking very long break. Drinking in small qty or sips at frequent intervals through the day helps much more.
What should the O2 levels usually be around Leh/Nubra/Pangong/Kargil? When would you say it is a cause for concern? Should be be between 90-95 everywhere? @discoverwithdheeraj

Hey Dheeraj Sir, Planning to travel on 26th April from Srinagar to Leh. Can you please suggest is it ok ? What vehicle should we take like innova or any similar ? How's the weather as of today ? Please guide sir
Dost Srinagar Leh is open for one way traffic subject to weather and there are disruptions and closure. You need to take Innova. Better fly to Srinagar and thebn take taxi from there and then again in Ladakh. Weather will be cold at Passes and Lakes in May,.
Most places you get electricity nowadays but charge everything every night. In pangong there could be limited time that electricity will be available. Rest depends on your night stays.
Sirji Mera ek saval hai ki kya CNG car allow hai ladakh me ya koi restriction rahega. Waise to petrol PE hi chalana hai, but allow karege ya nahi plz bataiyega jarror ???
