v  Route to choose

There are many ways to reach there you can choose any of the way. There are many ways and most common route to Leh is via Manali. Why it is most common route as the time travel is very less via this route in this route you need to reach Manali via Chandigarh from Delhi but this route has its own drawback as there is no altitude till Manali but from Manali altitude increase and biker have to face Acute Mountain sickness like headache, vomiting etc in this situation you have to hold your journey and stay some place so that you become comfortable with high altitude .

If you have time I personally refer you take another route via Pathankot, Amristar, Srinagar, Kargil, Leh in this altitude increase step by step you reach on top. So there is acute mountain sickness and you can enjoy your journey without any tension.

v  Number of days

Take some extra days as you can’t believe on weather as any time you can face landslides, heavy rainfall uncertain climate change and you have to stay there only without any option. So take some extra days also don’t forget to have day off in Manali to celebrate your success , Cheer up as its dream which comes true.
