Manali to Leh Tour starts at Manali (Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh), not in Indore — so the plan below adds the travel legs, the time they take, and what they cost. From Indore, plan to arrive at Manali the day before the trip starts. Conquer the ultimate Himalayan pilgrimage route—the world-famous 474 km Manali-Leh Highway. Journey across five formidable high-altitude mountain passes: Atal Tunnel/Rohtang, Baralacha La (16,040 ft), Nakee La (15,547 ft), Lachung La (16,616 ft), and Tanglang La (17,480 ft).
