The Leh vacation that you've been putting on hold can finally happen now as the bus services have commenced again from Delhi to Leh via Manali after a long stint of eight months. This is definitely the best news we got today!
Although the trip to Leh from Delhiis a 1,050 km arduous bus journey, that doesn't stop tourists from visiting one of the most beautiful locations in the country. The bus route includes a one-night stay at the district headquarters in Lahaul-Spiti, Keylong and the entire journey takes about two days. While private buses have already started operating on the route, deluxe buses run by the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) will commence again from July 1 onwards. There's also a special daily bus service for the tourists in Manali, who will be picked up from a stop and travel onwards to Leh.
Everyone's excited to visit this traveller's paradise this summer, so advance bookings have already begun and there seems to be quite a good response from the tourists who are happily booking their tickets online.
In case, you're planning a trip to Leh soon, keep in mind that these bus services will operate for four months starting from July till October. The 475-km Manali-Leh highway is closed for the remaining months of the year due to snowfall, so plan your trip accordingly!
