\"Sonamarg<\/a><\/p>\n

Where should you break the journey for the night while traveling between Srinagar and Leh, Sonamarg or Dras or Kargil? Which of these places is best in terms of hotels, safety, and travel convenience? In this article, I will try to provide a comparison between these 3 places and hopefully answer these questions.<\/p>\n

The 415 km long Srinagar Leh highway<\/a><\/strong> is a beauty in itself. In some ways, I must say that it is an even better option to travel to Leh than the Manali Leh route. The gradual change from the lush green hills of Kashmir valley to the beautiful desert of Ladakh is truly a sight to behold.<\/p>\n

As compared to the Manali Leh highway, this road also presents better opportunities in terms of accommodation, phone connectivity, fuel, and dealing with acute mountain sickness<\/a><\/strong>. The difference in distance between the roads is not that huge (Manali Leh highway being about 480 km) but you can reach Leh from Srinagar easily in two days.<\/p>\n

To complete the same journey with the same amount of leisure on the Manali Leh highway<\/a><\/strong> would 3 three days. Though you can reach Leh from Manali in two days as well, the journey would feel a little rushed which is not the case if you travel from the Srinagar side.<\/p>\n
