In short
Overview
Leisure Himachal's Manali to Leh jeep safari is a 9-night, 10-day road trip with a driver and a Tavera or Qualis: two nights in Manali, over the passes to a camp at Sarchu, three days around Leh, a night at Uleytokpo with Lamayuru, and over Khardung La to Nubra for Hunder's dunes and Panamik's hot springs. Breakfast and dinner are included. From ₹35,555 per person for two, ₹24,999 for four.
One of the great road journeys of the Himalaya, taken slowly. Two days on the Manali–Leh highway — forest, then the bare plateau at Sarchu, then the 5,328 m crossing at Tanglang La — and a week in Ladakh to follow: the Indus monasteries, Lamayuru, and the sand dunes of Nubra beyond Khardung La.
