Manali to Padum (Part-1) 😍 || Zanskar Valley 2022 || Day-3 of the Adventurous Trip 🔥

So it’s our third day and we started our journey from Manali towards Padum. And here is an amazing fact too. Our Tata Harrier is the first Tata Harrier to visit Zanskar Valley (you will come to know more about this in the next part of this vlog) 😍. You might have heard a lot of seasoned lovers of Ladakh complain that the earlier beauty of the region and the challenging factor has been diluted. The primary reason quoted, of course, is the travel plans of MANY including Ladakh as a “tourist destination”. Of course, better connectivity, easier roads, and many amenities along the way have made it easier for throngs of tourists to travel. However, our beloved BRO never disappoints. A brand new route connecting Manali to Leh via Zanskar has been constructed and most of the route is near completion or ready state. Some patches might not be developed. And, somewhere the road barely exists, if at all. However, that is the real charm of Ladakh road diaries and this route DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. If you’re looking for sheer isolation and stunning beauty synonymous with Ladakh, then I urge you to explore this wonderfully beautiful route. Yes, the journey is long. Yes, it will take you through many tough patches. But, will it be worth it? Absolutely, without a doubt! Let's quickly dive into the details:easy toc icon About the New Route via Zanskar Detailed description of the road journey Old Route portion of Manali Leh Highway: Manali – Darcha New Route, entering Zanskar: Darcha – Shinkula – Padum Shinku-la (singoo-la, shingu-la) Gombo Ranjan Kargiak Purne Padum Two Alternatives from Padum, Zanskar Zanskar Route Via Kargil Zanskar Vaaley Via Lingshed Those familiar with the Manali Leh highway will have no trouble deciphering this route. This journey follows the regular route, albeit, with the new addition of the Atal Tunnel, saving us precious time and ensuring easy access to the journey ahead The moment you enter the Lahaul Valley, right after the end of the 10 KM stretch of Atal tunnel, you are transported into a new world with new vistas. You will not be disappointed and each turn, each angle is pretty beyond belief. I have covered detailed places worth exploring along the Sissu, Tandi, Keylong stretch. One thing to keep in mind here is the importance of Tandi. Tandi is the last stop on the Manali – Leh highway with a petrol pump. So ensure you fill up your tanks (and carry fuel with you, if on a motorcycle) for the remainder of the journey ahead. However, you’ll have access to one more petrol pump when you move from the Zanskar side!
