In this article, we will discuss the second route, the Agham Shyok Road, that you can take to complete the same journey. This is now the shortest and easiest road that you can take to travel from Nubra Valley directly to Pangong Tso or even if you were traveling the other way around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About a decade ago, when traveling to Leh was more for the adventurous kind, a common itinerary that people followed was to go to Nubra Valley, come back to Leh, and then go to Pangong the next day. I followed the same when I first visited Leh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were two reasons behind this. The first and foremost reason was that there was not much information available anywhere about different inner roads in Ladakh. So people would usually stick to the main roads. The second reason was there was not much civilian movement in the area so several of these inner roads remain out of the limit for tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Much has changed now. Ladakh has become popular and tourism in the area is increasing with each passing year. Thanks to that, even the government removed several restrictions like ILP and opened several new areas for tourists to visit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e10109cdd1d\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e10109cdd1d\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Agham_Shyok_Road\" >Agham Shyok Road<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Current_Status_of_Shyok_Road\" >Current Status of Shyok Road<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Nubra_Valley_to_Pangong_Tso_via_Agham_Shyok_Road\" >Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso via Agham Shyok Road<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Nubra_Valley_to_Pangong_Lake_via_Shyok_Distance\" >Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake via Shyok Distance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#When_is_Shyok_Road_Open\" >When is Shyok Road Open?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Public_Transport_on_Shyok_Road\" >Public Transport on Shyok Road<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Road_Conditions\" >Road Conditions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Mobile_Network_Data_Connectivity\" >Mobile Network &amp; Data Connectivity<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Nubra_Valley_to_Pangong_Lake_Taxi_Fare\" >Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake Taxi Fare<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/agham-shyok-road\/#Best_Vehicle_for_Agham_Shyok_Road\" >Best Vehicle for Agham Shyok Road<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agham_Shyok_Road\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Agham Shyok Road<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One such road that did not even exist earlier is the Agham Shyok Road, also simply known as Shyok Road. It is named after the Shyok river that runs parallel to it and also Shyok village, which you will cross while traveling on this route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, if you wanted to reach Pangong from Nubra, there was no other way but to return to Leh and go to the lake the next day. Or you could take the Wari La road which would save you some kilometers but you really have to have a strong vehicle to make it to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wari-la-pass\/\">Wari La top<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Both these routes were time-consuming and would eat up an entire day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To make it easier for the locals, tourists as well as the military, another road was constructed that runs along the Shyok River. It was considerably short and would cut down the time of journey between two places considerably. But was it really easier?\u00a0 Time-saving, yes, but easier? Absolutely not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was one of the most dreaded routes of Ladakh and people were strongly advised to not travel on it. There were incidents when people&#8217;s cars got so badly damaged here. It was so bad that they had to be brought back on a tow truck. More details on this are provided later in the article, the part that I wrote when I first published this article in 2015.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_Status_of_Shyok_Road\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Current Status of Shyok Road<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Much however changed since then. Thanks to the continuous efforts by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bro.gov.in\/\">BRO<\/a><\/strong>, the road now is a smooth run all the way and can get you to Pangong Lake from Nubra in under 6 hours. The pictures and the video below should give you an idea of the current condition of the road.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake via Shyok | The Chronicles of

Shyok Distance<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total distance between Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake via Shyok is approximately 160 km, depending on where you stay in Nubra Valley. The 160 number that I quoted is from Diskit. If you stay in Turtuk, it will add roughly another 90 kilometers to the total.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total travel time is about 6 to 8 hours from Diskit, Hunder, or Panamik. It is about 80 to 90 km and 4-5 hours less than the Wari La route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/leh-to-pangong-tso-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Pangong Lake from Leh<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_Shyok_Road_Open\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When is Shyok Road Open?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The road remains open from May to October. The thing that you need to keep in mind is that the Shyok River runs right next to the road at several places. When I say right next, I mean almost at the same level and parallel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes, due to the melting snow, the water level may increase and you will find the river right on the road. This can cause the road to be closed temporarily. Otherwise, it remains open during the tourist season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A word of caution though. This is also a landslide-prone area and some parts of the stretch are enough to get your heart pounding. Falling stones from up above the hills is another big concern and safety risk. See the image below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42477 size-full\" title=\"agham shyok road\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21.jpg\" alt=\"agham shyok road\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nubra-valley-to-pangong-lake-via-shyok-21-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So please always be on the lookout and drive carefully. Do not take breaks or stop right underneath a mountain. Make sure the area is safe and clear of any falling stones or rocks before stopping.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Transport_on_Shyok_Road\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Public Transport on Shyok Road<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no public transport available on this route yet. You will not find a bus or a shared cab. If you were traveling by public transport, the only choice you have is to hitchhike. A lot of tourists travel on this road these days and you will have to try your luck.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If someone is willing to let you tag along, you are in luck. Otherwise, you have no option but to come back to Leh and catch a bus for Pangong the next day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/leh-ladakh-bus-service-latest-schedule\/\">Schedule &amp; Timings of Bus Service in Ladakh<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Road_Conditions\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Road Conditions<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The condition of the road on this entire route is a mix of good, bad, and ugly. For the most part, though, it is a smooth and tarred road with a few bad stretches in between. Even if you were in a hatchback car, you would still be able to complete the journey easily.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile_Network_Data_Connectivity\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mobile Network &amp; Data Connectivity<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were carrying a Jio and Airtel postpaid connection, you would have full connectivity on Agham Shyok Road with good data speed. There are stretches in between when you will lose connection but in and around the villages en route, you will be back on the network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prepaid phones do not work in Ladakh at all. BSNL\/MTNL also work on this route but their services are not that good. Idea and Vodafone also do not work that well in Ladakh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you cross Durbuk and reach Pangong Lake, you will once again lose the network. On the other hand, in Nubra Valley, both Airtel and Jio provide excellent service with 5G data speed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nubra_Valley_to_Pangong_Lake_Taxi_Fare\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake Taxi Fare<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A private taxi from Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake will cost you anywhere between Rs. 5000 to Rs. 8000 for a drop. The final price will depend on your negotiation skills and the tourist season. If there were a lot of people in the valley and the demand was high, sometimes this price can even touch Rs. 10000 for a drop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your greatest chance of finding a cab is in Diskit because that is the biggest town in Nubra Valley. Shared cabs, as I mentioned previously, do not ply on this route and you will be extremely lucky if you are able to find one.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Vehicle_for_Agham_Shyok_Road\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Best Vehicle for Agham Shyok Road<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you would probably have guessed by the images above, any vehicle is good enough for this road now. Local taxi drivers even bring their Maruti Alto on this route. Even a Sedan or a hatchback will also be fine. The only thing you need to make sure is that your vehicle is ready for the trip and will not break down on you somewhere along the route.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Agham Shyok Road &#8211; Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hope the pictures, and information above on Agham Shyok Road were of help.
