d forward to cover the entire circuit.

f I have started from Srinagar side because it gives at least two benets, if not more. First, the body gets
better acclimatized due to gradual ascent by the time you reach Leh and when you return via Manali Leh

h Highway, hence less chances of getting stuck with Acute Mountain Sickness (more info on AMS here) and
more enjoyment of views on Manali Leh Highway. If you start via Manali Leh Highway then most of the

J terrain runs over 4000 Mtrs of altitude and by the time you reach such altitude your body is not properly
acclimatized. Hence, many people fall sick on Manali Leh Highway despite covering in 25:75 ratio (Manali

X Keylong, Keylong Leh) in terms of distance. Secondly, you save one day as Tso Moriri and Tso Kar Lakes
can be adjusted once you start towards Manali from Leh. This way you are not required to return to Leh

v from Tso Moriri to go towards Kargil or Srinagar. For now, these two reasons are good enough to start your
journey from Srinagar side

route. This will give you an additional day which can be spent in Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso or
