Manali to Leh by jeep
Can someone tell me what this costs and who can do this for me. I want to leave Manali on 2nd Aug and reach Leh. I am not interested any additional package. I simply want a jeep / 4WD trip from Manali to Leh. Thereafter, we are moving to climb Stok Kangri. Thestok Kangri part is already organised and I need no help in this

12-16k for the whole taxi, depending upon the vehicle and your bargaining powers.

Going to manali taxi stand is a very nice way to do it infact it is the right way to do it but there you will be doing a deal with the union and be going via the taxi stand rate s what i suggest is try getting hold of a J K registered taxi in manali and bargain it out with him !!! The idea behind the whole exercise is J K cabs do not get hitched easily from manali (HP) and HP cab s from leh also suffer the same fate !!! So if you can make a win situation for yourself do it and the J K cabbies are also sort of desperate on this !!You will be able to save 2-3 k only if it all it s worth the pain !! All depen d s on your bargaining style /power / jugaad / !!!

But aren't the J&K cabs coming back from Manali stopped near Darcha by the Himachal Taxi Union if they are carrying passengers?
