How to reach
Air: Leh, the capital of Ladakh is connected
by Indian Airlines and Jet Airways to
Chandigarh, Delhi,
Srinagar and Jammu.
Rail: The nearest railhead is Jammu (690 km),
which is linked to the rest of the country by express trains.
Road: In summer months, Leh can be reached on
a state highway, from Srinagar (432 kms) in two days but the road is not
safe due to the unrest in the Kashmir valley. The curving mountainous
road passes through Sonamarg, the Zojila pass (8,413 m) and the Drass
valley (the coldest inhabited region in the world, after Siberia), culminating
in a night's halt at Kargil (2750m). Leh is reached on the second day.
Leh is also linked by road to Manali in Himachal
Pradesh. Within Ladakh, buses ply between the main towns and villages,
and vehicles can be hired in Leh to get to the more inaccessible areas. |
