I passed a sign close to Thikse saying the road from Leh to Manali is open - However, my taxi driver told me it is closed - anyway, he confirmed that the road to Srinagar is open.

I'm flying into Leh on Friday morning (4th Nov 05) and plan to stay a few days before (hopefully) leaving by road... I'm also keen to hear what the actual conditions are at the moment - best I can get is a temp range of -6c to +12c.... Apparently it can be relatively easy to find a ride out, I'm wondering if the ratio of vehicles changes after snow - i.e. more trucks and less jeeps etc etc?? Can anyone suggest a good company / place to try and book these trips? Cheers, Matt.

request for Mowey
hi,
please reply after reaching leh, how the conditions are up there. most of the companies close during winter, there will not be a lot of choice. prices are usually the same everywhere, but since you usually have to book a whole vehicle, it s advisable to share the price with as many people as you can find to make it cheaper for you. when the snow starts seriously, you can usually find no vehicles, no trucks and no jeeps. then you have to fly out !!! thanks i hope to hear from you after 4/5 of november. thanks thomas 12 |

Hi, I am in Jodhpur right now, and I would really love to head up to the north as far as I can around mid-November!
What will and what won't be possible for me to do? I guess Leh is out of question by then... Hope to get some infomation  Thanks, Carolin |
