Beautiful view some where in Leh-Nubra Valley Road


The Manali-Leh highway was closed for vehicle movement on November 7, 2022 last year due to winter snowfall. The road was officially closed beyond Darcha after official notice from District Magistrate of Lahaul-Spiti district as the Manali-Leh highway comes under its jurisdiction from Atal tunnel to Sarchu. As the winter snowfall is continuing, the road will continue to remain blocked throughout the season. The snow clearance works on the highway will remain operational throughout the season between Manali and Darcha. However, the snow clearance on the Darcha-Leh section is expected to start in March. We shall keep you updated about snow clearance progress, the snowfall, and the opening/closing of the highway with regular updates here. The snow clearance on the Manali-Leh highway was completed on 26th March 2022 last year but the highway was not fit for traffic movement. The road was opened to light vehicles on 25 April 2022. This year, the highway is expected to open for general traffic movement by end of April and road will be safe after first week of May 2023.

It means that the butterflies in the stomach of all the adventure enthusiasts planning their upcoming trip to Leh – Ladakh in 2023 will be more frequent 🙂 :)…

Although the mountain ranges on the Himachal-Ladakh axis have received very less snow so far, the road in some of the higher passes is covered below 2 to 4 feet of snow. Also, the deposit of a thick layer of ice on the road surfaces has made it impossible for vehicles to ply on it. There is the possibility of heavy snowfall after 8 January 2023. The highway, which is open only from Manali to Darcha via Atal tunnel, is expected to open in April.

07 November 2022: Manali-Leh highway has been closed officially today due to risk to life following extreme cold and slippery road conditions. Heavy snowfall can leave the travellers stranded. The highway will open next year (2023) in April or May.
