The answer to this question is a yes, but you may still be forced to leave a few places out of your itinerary. For example, if you were traveling by your own vehicle, you will be able to cover both Manali Leh and Srinagar Leh routes, but may not be able to see some local tourist attractions in Ladakh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Someone who is catching a flight to Leh will have more time in Ladakh but will miss Manali and Leh highways both. They will also either have to depend on public transport or spend quite a bit of money on taxis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Irrespective of the above, 12 Days is still a good enough time for a trip to Ladakh. How to plan your itinerary to make the most out of this time, and cover as many places as possible is what we will be talking about in this post.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have any other questions, \u00a0you can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vargiskhan\/\">contact me on Instagram<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and I will be happy to answer.

It is a popular destination among both travel enthusiasts and locals. On its banks, there is a three-story pagoda-like temple dedicated to sage Prashar. The lake is considered a holy place, and locals from nearby areas continue to visit it all year long. It is located at a height of 2,730 meters, and as per the legend, the true depth of the lake is still unknown.\n\nThis place is open to visitors throughout the year, including the winter months. While the majority of tourism occurs in summer, many people also visit the lake when it is completely covered in a thick sheet of snow.\n\nI was recently on a road trip to Parvati Valley and on the last day of the trip, we went to Prashar Lake and camped there for the night.

It is a haven for backpackers and solo travelers as plenty of budget accommodation is available. Tosh offers beautiful unexplored trails and popular but scenic hiking routes with pristine landscapes. For people not looking to hike or trek too much, this is a perfect place where you can spend some time relaxing and admiring the serene landscapes all around the valley.\n\nI recently was on a road trip to Parvati Valley and spent a few days in Kasol, exploring the nearby regions.

No matter the increase in tourism, the fact remains that Ladakh is a high-altitude desert. When you travel here, you are bringing your body to a height that it has never been to before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While coming from the Manali side, this gain in altitude is tremendous and quite sudden, leaving our bodies with little time to adjust. This is the reason why the majority of people suffer from AMS on the Manali Leh route; either at Sarchu, Pang, or at any of the high-altitude passes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other side, this rise in elevation is a bit gradual while going from the Srinagar side. This allows sufficient time for the body to acclimatize. Hence, there will be lesser chances of altitude sickness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more details on what AMS is, what its symptoms are, and what can you do about it, please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/dealing-acute-mountain-sickness-ladakh\/\">How to Handle Acute Mountain Sickness in Ladakh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fuel_Availability_in_Ladakh\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Fuel Availability in Ladakh<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The petrol pumps in Ladakh still remain to be just the ones in Leh City and in Nubra Valley. However, Petrol and Diesel are now available almost everywhere in black. You can easily get fuel at Chadar tents or small shops but the quality of the fuel is questionable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So if you can manage to carry spare fuel that can last till the next petrol pump, then please do so. If not, then ask around at the local shops and you can definitely buy there in black.

You will cover about 600 kilometers in 11 to 12 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The good news is that the road is good for the most part of the journey. There are a few bad patches in between but only during the last stretch between Pathankot and Jammu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There will be a lot of tolls between Delhi and Pathankot though. Hotels in Jammu are available in plenty but stay at one closer to Jammu Srinagar highway.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_Jammu_to_Srinagar\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 2 &#8211; Jammu to Srinagar<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two ways that you can travel from Jammu to Srinagar. Either take the Jammu &#8211; Srinagar highway which runs a total of about 270 kilometers. Even this distance however will take you about 11 to 12 hours to complete. Heavy traffic and congestion on this route are quite normal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It will take you through the scenic towns of Patnitop and Anantnag, and the condition of the road remains to be a mix of super smooth, smooth, bad, and ugly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second route is the historic Mughal road which runs through Rajouri, Peer ki Gali, and Shopian for a total of about 330 kilometers. This is the longer of the two roads but is also the more scenic one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traffic too on this stretch is not that much. For more details, you can take a look at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/mughal-road\/\">How to Travel from Jammu to Srinagar by Mughal Road<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Once you arrive in Srinagar, you can either stay at a houseboat or a hotel as per your preference and budget.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_3_%E2%80%93_Srinagar_to_Kargil\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 3\u00a0 &#8211; Srinagar to Kargil<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The destination for today is the small town of Kargil. Take an early start from Srinagar so that you can get some time for sightseeing as well en route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entire stretch from Srinagar to Kargil is very scenic as it slowly transforms from the lush green of Kashmir to the brown barren of Ladakh. The total distance covered will be about 220 kilometers in a total of 8 to 10 hours depending upon your speed and breaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will cross the towns of Kangan, Sonamarg, and Drass on the way. The high-altitude pass of Zoji La is the worst section of the road. Kargil War Memorial at Drass is definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33958 size-full\" title=\"Leh Ladakh Itinerary for 12 Days \" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3.jpg\" alt=\"Leh Ladakh Itinerary for 12 Days \" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/ladakh-12-days-itinerary-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_4_%E2%80%93_Kargil_to_Leh\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 4 &#8211; Kargil to Leh<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Starting as early as possible is of utmost importance on this day because there is so much sightseeing involved. The maximum number of tourist attractions that you will cover on Day 4 will probably be more than any other day of the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Namika La and Fotu La will be two high-altitude passes that you will cross before reaching Leh. Lunar Landscape and the Monastery in Lamayuru, Indus Zanskar Confluence, Magnetic Hill, and Gurudwara Patthar Sahib are some of the well-known tourist places on the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a complete list of tourist attractions on the Srinagar to Leh route, please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tourist-attractions-on-srinagar-leh-highway\/\">What to See on Srinagar Leh Highway<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hotels in Leh are available in plenty these days and in all budgets. However, if you were traveling in peak tourist season then I would recommend that you call and book in advance.

Once again, I will recommend an early start so you have time to visit some of the tourist areas in Nubra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diskit is the headquarters of Nubra Valley and that is where you will stay for the night. From Leh, the road first climbs for 35 kilometers to Khardung La and then descends into the valley via the village of Khardung. You will then reach Khalsar from where a road bifurcates to the left and reaches Diskit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total journey is about 120 kilometers and can take you 6 to 7 hours to complete, depending upon your breaks and speed. Bactrian Camel, Diskit Monastery, and Hunder sand dunes are some of the places that you can visit on this day.\u00a0Please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tourist-attractions-in-nubra-valley-ladakh\/\">Tourist Places in Nubra Valley<\/a><\/strong> for a complete list of must-visit attractions in Nubra Valley.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_7_%E2%80%93_Diskit_to_Pangong_Tso\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 7 &#8211; Diskit to Pangong Tso<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will now be heading to Pangong Tso, the beautiful lake blue which in the last few years has become the very symbol of Ladakh. But before that, you will do a bit more sightseeing in Nubra Valley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Diskit, drive back to Khalsar and then take the road that goes towards Panamik. There is a hot water spring in Panamik which is worth taking a dip in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After spending some time, drive back to Khalsar again. This time, take the Agham Shyok road to reach Pangong via Durbuk. At Pangong, you can either stay at the campsites or as a paying guest in the village of Spangmik.

You reached Pangong via Khardung La and Shyok roads but for the return journey, you will be covering mighty Chang La, incorrectly famous as the third-highest motorable road in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highest or not, it is definitely a very scenic drive that will take you about 9 to 10 hours to complete. The road is mostly good with a bad patch near Chang La top.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_9_%E2%80%93_Leh_to_Karzok\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 9 &#8211; Leh to Karzok<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From here on, it is mostly a return journey home while covering Tso Moriri and Manali Leh highways on the way. From Leh, drive all the way to Upshi and then take the road via Chumathang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will then reach Sumdo and continue driving towards Karzok, the small village on the banks of Tso Moriri where you will be staying for the night. The road is mostly in good condition but the last 50 kilometers between Sumdo and Karzok is a complete dirt trail. The journey will take you about 8 to 9 hours so start accordingly from Leh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several hotels and guest houses at Karzok where you can stay for the night. For details, please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/leh-tso-moriri-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Tso Moriri<\/a> <\/strong>for more details.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_10_%E2%80%93_Karzok_to_Pang_Sarchu\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 10 &#8211; Karzok to Pang \/ Sarchu<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the journey today, you will first drive back 50 kilometers to Sumdo and then take the road towards Tso Kar via Polo Kongka La. There are a few dhabas at Tso Kar where you can take a small break.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This road will then merge into Manali Leh highway near Debring. You will start driving towards Manali and soon will reach Pang. Depending on how long you took to reach here, you can either stay at Pang itself or continue to Sarchu for another 70 kilometers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a rule, if you were able to make it to Pang by 3 PM, then you should continue to Sarchu. If you reached Pang at around 4 PM or later, then you should stay at Pang itself for the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33962 size-full\" title=\"manali leh highway\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh.jpg\" alt=\"manali leh highway\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/manali-to-leh-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_11_Sarchu_Pang_to_Manali\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 11: Sarchu \/ Pang to Manali<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you stayed at Pang then start as early as 7 AM because this is going to be a bit of a long journey.

That was your Leh Ladakh itinerary for 12 days. This, in my opinion, is the best way to go about this journey, but there are of course several other ways that you can change this. To understand all the routes that I explained above better, I will recommend that you see this <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ladakh-road-map-detailed-road-map-ladakh\/\">Complete and Comprehensive Road Map of Ladakh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having 12 days in hand definitely gives you several choices for changing and tweaking your itinerary.

Board a Bus from Delhi to Manali first. Then board the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-to-leh-bus-service\/\">Manali to Leh bus<\/a><\/strong> which completes the journey in 2 days with a night halt at Keylong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For visiting Diskit and Pangong, go to Leh Bus stand early in the morning. If there is no bus available then board a shared cab going that way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next day, you will return to Leh by shared cabs again. You have no choice but to come back to Leh from both of these places because there is no public transport on internal routes like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok\/\">Shyok Road<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will really have to give up Tso Moriri in this itinerary.

In this particular one, you will give up Hanle and Tso Moriri in favor of gaining more time in the Kashmir valley.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Leh \u2013 Day 1<\/li>\n<li>Leh to Diskit \u2013 Day 2<\/li>\n<li>Diskit to Pangong \u2013 Day 3<\/li>\n<li>Pangong to Leh \u2013 Day 4<\/li>\n<li>Leh to Kargil \u2013 Day 5<\/li>\n<li>Kargil to Sonamarg \u2013 Day 6<\/li>\n<li>Sonamarg to Srinagar \u2013 Day 7<\/li>\n<li>Srinagar to Gulmarg \u2013 Day 8<\/li>\n<li>Gulmarg \u2013 Day 9<\/li>\n<li>Gulmarg to Pahalgam \u2013 Day 10<\/li>\n<li>Pahalgam \u2013 Day 11<\/li>\n<li>Pahalgam to Srinagar \u2013 Day 12<\/li>\n<li>Fly Out of Srinagar \u2013 Day 13<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your journey on Days 6 and 7 will not be that long.
