As my name is suraj 🙂 from uttarpradesh but now in delhi ..well i planned for solo trip as it was my childhood dream not so from class 10 it was ..i took a bus from delhi (isbt) at afternoon 2:30 for manali abt 575 rs and than yes (note- this bus directly go to keylong but u need to take again ticket in manali dont worry apka seat koi nai lega )
And than journey start. .bus stopped at some dahaba in between the jorney and i should suggest for entire journey u have to pack ur atlest breakfast and same day dinner it will easy to save some penny right.!!first day photo early moring in manali
As i mentioned we reach manali early morning on 4 august from here i renew my ticket and it charged me around 275 smthing to reach at keylong where it took around 8-9 hr to reach depend upon the condition of road and traffic ..from here u saw a famous views and most thrilling road as well as driver too ..as hrctc bus driver are experience and also very much coperative. .i wnat to share some road view that i clicked ...few kiuki sara de dunga to tum kya dekhoge fir 😅 so i reached there keylong at 8:00pm sharp and took a dormatry that will cost me around 150 and dinner around 150 =300 so if u r comfortable with this that u have a option other wise near bus stand hotel is avialble that cost u around 400-600 depend upon you ..if u r in grouo of boys and girls tgan better to take hotel insted of dormatory ye hm logo ke liye accha hai ..
As i reached keylong i took dormatry and enjoy the chicken chawal there cost me 150 but it was aweasom must try if u r non-vegiterian so guys stay there but same day when u reach there must insure the booking from keylong to leh ..ticket is supposed to book the same day and bus will depart next day in early morning aroung 5:00 am so make it clear and it will cost u around 500 smthing so make it clear on next day i took bus from keylong to leh and it will take more than 12 hr to reach leh ..at night on same day i landed there with a postive and a door that was open for me to start my new journey as a solo pilot 😄 and yes in leh might get hotel little bit epexnsive a like i got a hotel at 500 rs day and one of my friend to whom i met in between my leh bike riding he told me his hotel cost around 400 so better to have a negotation skill ..specially managnet studnet u r traned so show ur skill there ..thats all for 3rd day now move towwrd our 4th day
