PACKAGE OVERVIEW
The Delhi–Manali–Leh Road Expedition is India’s ultimate long-distance Himalayan drive — a journey where landscapes change dramatically every day, from pine forests and river valleys to stark high-altitude deserts.
This itinerary is built with altitude safety and driving realism at its core. Instead of forcing the journey, the route is paced with essential stopovers at Jispa and Sarchu, allowing the body to adapt naturally.
The experience is demanding but deeply rewarding, suited for travellers who value the journey as much as the destination. This is not a casual holiday — it is a once-in-a-lifetime road journey.
