The road from Kargil to Leh via Batalik is one of the most beautiful routes of Ladakh. It is a road that not many tourists chose to travel on but the ones that do, return with an experience that is hard to get anywhere else in Ladakh.<\/p>\n

Traveling by this route, you will cross the high-altitude pass of Hambuting La and see the village of Batalik which sits right next to the India-Pakistan border. You will also pass through the lush green Aryan Valley, inhabited by the Brokpa people who are said to be the direct descendants of Alexander.<\/p>\n

This 136-kilometer-long road from Kargil to Khalsi is still not on the tourist map for some reason. It is definitely not an unknown route but just the one that gets ignored by tourists and travelers.<\/p>\n

But because of the same reason, this area seldom gets crowded. Even when the rest of Ladakh is filled with tourists, you will rarely find anyone other than the locals out here.<\/p>\n

So if you were planning to visit Ladakh soon and wanted to go a bit offbeat, Kargil to Leh via Batalik is a route that you will definitely like. Read on to find out more.<\/p>\n
