See, all resolves..... Shanti, Shanti....
Is he now going towards Delhi or towards Leh? For the forthcoming days / weeks take into account that communication or anything you want to achieve, it takes time - a lot of time...
If you need further info, let us know.
In turn, surely the forum is eager to learn about road condition up there, so stay tuned and report if possible...
Cheers,
Volker

Tso Moriri - road condtions?

Does anyone know about current road conditions between Tso Kar and Tso-Moriri, and from Tso Moriri on to Leh via Mahe Bridge?

I'm travelling next week and a couple of people have told me that the roads / bridge are out but agents I've called in Manali and Leh say that things are ok.

Thanks......

Just back from Leh after our trip. Amazing weather there. Roads are bumpy but its not a big deal for people going by Bus or Taxi. I would advice to go by taxi tho cuz one of the buses got its axle broken in the slush. We did find snow on Khardungla and also on our way to Pangong.

kinky here are the no.s Sorry for the delay. Just came back from HEaven

Hi all,

The latest updates of the road on 6th Sept 2006

The Road from Manali to Leh is open and traffic running.
After the rains the road is badly damaged and bad to non-existant from rohtang to Sarchu.

The 260 kms from Manali to Sarchu would take 10-12 hrs at least

One more useful information.
Hutch - Idea Postpaid phones now work in Leh now - on roaming through the Airtel Network.
