Start from Jammu around 7 am to reach Srinagar or Sonamarg. We planned to stay at Sonamarg instead of Srinagar because of the unrest going in Srinagar from the past few days.
In the morning get up early to see the first sun rays striking the mountain peaks of Sonamarg, roam and feel its golden meadows (the real Kashmir). And leave for Kargil by 10 -11 am.

The road trip from Leh to Nubra Valley is one that is at the top of every adventurer’s bucket list, and for good reason! Packed with adrenaline, beauty and stunning views of the Himalayan, Zanskar and Karakoram range, the journey is something right out of dreams. Nubra Valley, housing Diskit, Turtuk, Panamik, and several other untouched places, is a biker’s delight. There are countless places to explore, along with richly colored traditions of the locals which have been a subject of fascination for several travelers. Hunder is also famous for its Buddhist monastery known as Hundur gompa situated close to the Diskit monastery. It is one of the oldest monasteries of Nubra valley.
There are two routes to reach Pangong Lake from Khalsar (33 Km from Hunder); one via Shyok and another via Leh.
Journey from Pangong to Tso Moriri, with paved roads for the majority of the time. The route offers breathtaking views on both sides of the road. The brackish Tso Moriri Lake is nourished by springs and mountain snowmelt.It is located at an elevation of 4,530 metres. Lake Moriri, also known as Mountain Lake, is India's largest high-altitude lake. It stretches about 26 kilometres and has a maximum width of 5 kilometres.
Explore on the way: Kaygar Tso, Puga hot springs, Polo KongKa La, and Salt deposits around Tso Kar Lake.
Start early from Tso Kar to reach Keylong by evening and trust me this is the most scenic ride.
The Keylong to Manali route is lush green and it’s just a 4-5 hr drive if the ascent to Rohtang pass is in good shape
'It is always tough to say goodbye to the valleys and it was toughest for Leh Ladakh road trip. The last day is going to be a long hectic drive day.'
