Delhi to Leh by Road A Travel Guide for the travel-hungry Souls

Road trips are nothing but living a thrilling adventure on the road. And when it comes to a road trip from Delhi to Leh, it will be worth remembering. Leh is the capital of Ladakh, with a less populated region. However, Nature has blessed this place with jaw-dropping beauty and high-altitude mountainous land. If you are a true-blue road tripper or even the one who is starting the journey of his life, this is the one journey you must experience at least once in your entire life.
So if you are up to accept this challenge of jumping on a journey where you will feel the rush, then here is the ultimate guide article that will show the path to your destiny.

Famous Routes to start the journey
There are two overwhelmingly beautiful scenic routes that you can take while going from Delhi to Leh. One road leads to panoramic Manali and the other to the gorgeous Srinagar. Delhi to Leh by road via Manali is a roadway that will take you literally through many ups and downs. This road journey consists of two parts: Delhi to Manali and then Manali to Leh. Each route here has unique sights and experiences to offer. While passing the road, you will drive through some highest motorable streets and get to see the entire Ladakh Plateau.
Stopovers to catch the breath
On the way to Leh, you will pass through some Stopovers, for example, Manali, Rohtang Lah, Keylong, Jispa, Sonmarg Drass Valley Kargil and moorland, etc. Throughout the road trips on these stopovers, at one point, you will see the snow-capped mountains and sparkling rivulets in Keylong, while on another side, the bike riders will fall in love with the scenic beauty on their way to their destination.

Same suggested stops to regain your energy.
Even though road trips sound exciting, they can tire you out in no time. So while passing through all those roads, you can find some decent places for breakfast or lunch at Rohtang Pass and Sissu by road via Manali and hill stations in Panitop via Srinagar. Even though you don't find it as posh as the restaurants in Delhi, at that time, you will be grateful that those places exist. Keylong, Sonmarg, and Srinagar are other places which have good eatery places.
Your vehicles need food too!
You can fuel up your vehicles in Manali. And if you continue with your journey, you can find the next petrol pump station at Tandi, about 110 km from Manali. Then again, if you want to refuel your vehicles further ahead, you will find the Karu petrol pump. Whereas, if you are taking the Srinagar road, you may find the petrol pump stations in Srinagar, Sonmarg, and Kargil.
