How To Visit:
To visit Leh by road there are two routes, one is via SRINAGAR {J&K} and the other is via MANALI {HP}. Both the roads are closed from November to May every year due to excessive snowfall and remain open from June to Oct.
As Leh is located at a high altitude, one can have breathing problems due to the paucity of oxygen. Visitors are advised to consult their doctors and arrange proper woolen clothes before embarking on this journey as the temperature falls beyond -20 degree in Winter.
The 25-km road from Leh to the Gurdwara Pathar Sahib is in good condition. Visitors can go by bus or taxi. The Gurdwara Sahib is located next to the main road near Magnetic Hill Ladakh.
