Going to ladakh is best journey of my life. I never seen beauty like this before. Life is not easy there but people live there work there in the fields. High altitude places are always beautiful and coverd with snow always.
In such condition people made road there and road is quite good. It is difficult to make roads on such high altitude places.There are also some off road patches which is hard to cross in extreme conditions.
These trucks transport all the goods for people and army. Truck drivers are very brave who take risks to make fulfil need of the people and army.
When you go high altitude place you ll see small trees and after that no plants.Thats why you feel some problem in breathing and you will feel sick so its important to maintain health.
On manali leh highway you will find lakes and big mountains. There are few lakes which are famous like Deepak Tal and Suraj Tal. Lakes are full of cold water but clean as well.
You will be followed by Chandra river.During travel you can camp around the river but not during rainy season. But it was wonderful camping near this river.
Manali leh highway is very well made by the engineers but still there is some points where difficult to cross because of running water from the mountains and there can be landslides as well.So you need to be careful while travelling.
