✔Take a road trip from Chandigarh(if travelling from
Bengaluru/Mumbai/Pune/Kolkatta etc.) taking a halt of one day either at Kullu or Manali then
second halt at Jispa would be best.
✔First timer to this place can spend a
fun-filled day at Kullu glancing the scenic beauty of kasol/manikaran/pirdi
white-water river rafting.
✔ To travel towards
Jispa/spiti/Rohtang/Solang Valley you have to get the offline/online permission
done by submitting RC of the vehicle / no of people travelling / I'd card /
hotel booking details or receipt. http://admis.hp.nic.in/ngtkullu
✔Road from Rohtang pass to jispa will be
gravel roads that will make you oscillate for hours. But
if you want attain the nirvana of travelling you have to bear this of happily.
✔Mountain sickness will make your road
trip more aching but scenic Magnificence and the vantage point/viewpoints will
be acting as instant medicine for anyone
.
✔Carry enough tangy candies, water
bottles, medicines of mountain sickness, fever, cough and cold, inhaler, pain
killer, oxygen inhalers (due
to sudden transition of elevation some few travellers can feel depleting oxygen
level).
✔Places like Jispa , Sarchu
pass ,khardungla pass , Nubra valley & Pangogng lake will be damn cold.
Carry enough winters like thermals, mufflers, caps, jacket , woollen socks etc.
✔To
travel to Nubra valley and Pangong lake you have to acquire permission pass by
local travel agents who will be charging 650-700 rs per person. Passes are allotted
based on your travel date.
✔Start early wherever you are going, take proper sleep at
night to recover from the road travelling.
✔Advisable to take flight back from Leh.
✖FEW MEDICAL SHOP: medical shops will not be available at very few places while
traveling carry enough necessary medicines with you.
✖NO SWIPE MACHINE : Carry adequate cash as no vendor accept debit or credit card
or paytm money there.
✖No Pass Allotment on Tuesday: Don't forgot that Rohtang pass can't be taken
on Tuesday as one day in a week is dedicated to road maintenance.
✖No Network except BSNL : In Leh ladakh you
can get Airtel network but fluctuating mobile internet.
✖Don’t depend on Google map time displayed: It's a hilly terrain it's very much dependent
on climatic conditions which changes drastically and due to gravel road
travelling time increases surprisingly.
