when do the passes freeze?
hi, am planning a cycle trip to lahaul - spiti - ladakh - whereabouts, haven't really decided...
was expecting to get leave from office in july but that didn't happen, so october it'll be. november's not impossible either... my question is when do things get to freezing point? esp around kunzum la, and the passes on the manali-leh road? when do the passes officially close? also, i know it'll be cold (minus at night, 2-3 deg C in daytime), but how c-c-c-oold? thanks. |

The official closing date for the Manali-Leh road is 15th sept, however sometimes the road is open until mid oct weather permitting. Unfortunately the weather as been rather confused this year, such as snow in august & torrential rain causing floods in Leh & surrounds (it's not supposed to rain there at all in august???)which suggests the pass will close early this year, but who knows?? I'd plan for next year if i was you! KK
