Delhi is among the largest and most centrally located city in India which makes it an ideal place to start your road trip. In a world full of worries and stress we invest very less time in our-self and hence a road trip is all you need to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. So here is a list of a few routes on which you can plan a road trip from Delhi.

1. Delhi to Leh Ladakh road trip

Delhi to Leh on Royal Enfield is a trip which everyone plans in his or her lifetime. Some are able to fulfil it and some are not. The road trip from Delhi to Leh is considered one of the most dangerous and adventurous rides in the world.

The 1010 Km ride from Delhi covers places like Chandigarh, Bilaspur, Manali, Rohtang Pass, Jispa, Baralacha-la, Tanglang-la and finally Leh. This road trip offers you a complete lifetime experience, from driving on the four-lane national highway to water-clogged roads in Lahaul and Spiti.

On one side you experience lush green mountains and just after a few hundred kilometres you experience the cold dry desert of Leh Ladakh 8-). On one side you experience the unbearable heat of the plains and on the other side freezing temperature of high-altitude passes like Rohtang-la and Baralacha-la.

No other road trip in the world can give you so varied experience as the road trip from Delhi to Leh offers. So if you are living in Delhi and confused about where to go for your next road trip then Leh Ladakh is probably the finest location you can go for.

Our company Motorbike Expeditions has been conducting tours and road trips across various parts of India and believe us guys no other trip makes our fellow travellers happy as the trip to Leh Ladakh.

Best time to visit: The road to Leh Ladakh from Manali remain close for nearly 6 months every year due to the heavy snowfall on the passes like Rohtang La- Baralacha-La and Tanglang-La.  Border Road Organization clears this snow around last week of May every year and roads to Leh are then opened.

The best time is to visit exactly as soon as the roads to Leh are opened as one can see huge snow glaciers of 15 feet on the way to Leh. The only thing which can cause problems at this time is the massive influx of tourists towards Leh-Ladakh with which getting inner line permits to Rohtang pass becomes difficult. So If you want to travel in little peace then August and September months are probably the best.
