Ladakh-Kashmir June- July 2008

How does this sound for a 3 1/2 weeks? also does anyone other than Indian Air fly between Leh and Sringar? Thanks!
1. Arrive in Delhi
2. Train from Delhi to Shimla.
3. Shimla to Manali by bus or rented taxi
4. Manali to Leh by rented jeep
5. Leh (spend around a week)
6. fly from Leh to Sringar
7. spend about a week around Sringar and Kashmir-maybe a houseboat
8. fly back to Delhi from Sringar
8. take train for a day to Taj mahal

My advice, skip Shimla and don’t fly to Leh! The road trip between Manali and Leh is on the most enjoyable part of the trip to Ladakh and skipping it shouldn’t be done unless you are really short on time! Heck I would recommend spending only 2-3 days in Kashmir and devoting rest to Ladakh, there is just too much to see and do there!

Hennings I guess our bike enthusiast miss read your post. Yes, you are making the right choice by doing Manali - Leh on a jeep.

On my way back from Leh in 2007, I had an unplanned stop-over in Srinagar and stayed in a house boat on the Nagin Lake. I could not have asked for more

I checked www.makemytrip.com and found that there is no direct flight between Leh and Srinagar.

Agree - very little to see or do in Srinagar ... however stunning locations outside the capital.
