Highlight
The Ladakh full circuit via the Srinagar-Leh-Manali-Delhi route (SLMD) is the most complete way to travel Ladakh in a single trip. Instead of flying in and out of Leh, this route enters from the northwest through Srinagar, drives the Srinagar-Leh Highway through Kargil and the Zoji La pass, travels through Ladakh covering Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and Tso Moriri, then exits south through Manali via the Leh-Manali Highway and Rohtang Pass, returning to Delhi overland. Total distance covered is approximately 2,000 km over 10 nights. This is the format that gives you the most variety — two different mountain routes, two different sets of landscapes, and no retracing of any road. The Travel Story runs this as a group trip from ₹26,499. Season is June to September. It is the recommended format for anyone who wants to see maximum Ladakh in one trip.Itinerary

Absolutely great captain and joyful journey. He was more like a part of our friends' group than some outsider. We vibed on good songs and had good conversations. Would definitely love to travel with TTS again. Over-all faced some issues here and there but the team handled it well, so it was a fun experience at the end.

The went to the Ladakh trip with the Travel Story and I wish I had gone earlier. This was the best experience of my life. Our captain was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly personable. Their deep understanding of the area’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour not only informative but also fun.

The trip to Ladakh was a class. I thank Mohit Bareja for arranging this amazing tour. Being a rider himself, he made sure that he delivered class to us. From basic to advanced, the team made sure that every arrangement was made. I went for an off road trip for the first time and now I wish to ride with them again.
