HIGHWAY PANORAMAS - MAGNIFICENT LADAKH

The lure of the Himalayas, the Youngest Mountain range on the planet and the most magnificent, entices many adventure seeking enthusiasts to pack their sacks and head there starting May, when the temperatures start soaring across the country.

 

A vast majority seek their Nirvana from Hiking/Trekking in the various meadows and peaks that dot the region; while some others get inspired to mount their steeds and make the road journey of exploration to the snow covered mountains.

 

 

Join Canvas N Chrome on our road trip as we take the Road less traveled through the unimaginably beautiful vistas of the Manali - Leh - Srinagar Road and explore the Himalayan Kingdom.
