The two reached Ladakh via Manali and Rohtang Pass and then via Kargil, Srinagar and Jammu. The way of the returning anti-clockwise.
The first of these is the Clockwise Route. Because everyone knows Ladakh is located at an altitude of 18000 feet above sea level. When we travel clockwise, we slowly take days to reach Ladakh, which is located at the height of the journey. Then our body will start adapting to the climate of Ladakh in the middle of this journey. Thus, our body can somehow get rid of the physical problems caused by AMS in Ladakh.
But if we take the second anti-clockwise method, we will be able to climb 16000 feet from Manali in a few hours. Then our body will not be able to adapt to the rapidly changing climate. Naturally there will be AMS problems. Our body will react to it quickly. Sometimes the journey itself can come to a standstill. So the best way is to take the clockwise route.
Even if we take these two routes, we still need a permit to travel through Ladakh. There are two types of permits. 1) Ladakh_Innerline Permit. 2) Rothang Permit. You only need a Ladakh Innerline Permit if you choose the Clockwise Route as mentioned above.
We need a Ladakh Inner Line Permit to reach Ladakh and travel to places like Nubrawali, Cardugla, Pangong, etc. in Ladakh. We only need this one permit on the clockwise route. But if we choose the anti-clockwise route, we will have to take a Rothang permit to pass through the Rothang Pass. After that you will need to take a Ladakh Inner Line Permit to reach Ladakh and travel through places in Ladakh.
Rohtang Permit, as well as what is the Ladakh Innerline Permit. Let us understand why.
1) Rothang Permit. Some time ago there was no need for a permit to travel through the Rothang Pass. However, the number of tourists has increased and as a result, thousands of vehicles visit the Rohtang Pass every day. This caused a lot of pollution and debris on the pass and route. The media reported that even the icebergs there were turning black due to vehicle smoke and other pollution. So the NGT (National Green Tribunal) decided to regulate day-to-day traffic and tourism.
Thus, the concept of the Rothang Permit was implemented by the authorities to allow only a limited number of vehicles, i.e. less than 1,500 vehicles, to board the Rothang Pass on a single day. Here the Rothang permit is not taken on the persons in the vehicle passing through Rothang Pass from Manali. Permits are required only for the vehicles we travel in. Similarly, a Rohtang permit is not required if you are cycling, walking, or traveling on an H.R.T.C or H.P.T.D.C bus. Similarly, those returning to Manali from Ladakh via Rohtang Pass do not need this permit.
2. Ladakh Innerline Permit. The Inner Line Permit is an official travel document issued by the Government of India to control travel to certain areas near India's international border and for national security. This permit is mandatory for Indian citizens outside those states who need to obtain such a permit to enter such areas bordering the country. This is a security measure, and the Ladakh Inner Line Permit is required to travel through certain parts of Leh. Unlike the Rothang permit here, the permit is not taken for the vehicle we are traveling in.
Where can I get a Ladakh Inner Line Permit? The Ladakh Inner Line Permit can be obtained from the DC office behind the Old Leh bus stand. Office hours are 9am to 5pm. Leh old bust on Google Maps can be easily reached right away from Kargil.
Also on the way to the DC office you will find photostat shops and bike rental showrooms. Just go there. There will be agents. They take small commissions but we don't have much work to do on the permit issue. They will tell you which areas you need a permit to travel to Leh, those places and the charges for the permit. The permit charge is less than around Rs 600 per person. Agents will fix things for us without much work.
What documents are required to get a Ladakh Inner Line Permit? Write the ID proof No, Address of our hand in the application form for the pass at the DC office. Also the names of the major tourist place in Leh are at the top of the application form. Tick where we are going.
Even if it is not the place we intend to go, it would be better to tick everything and get permission. Because it would be useful at that time if you feel like going to other places where you need a permit to travel later. Or you will have to go to the DC office to get a permit again to go to that place. Instead of going to the DC office and getting a permit, you can still go online and get a permit on their site. The site ID is given below. You can use www.lahdclehPermit.in to get a Ladakh Innerline Permit.
One thing to note is that even if you take the permit online, you will still have to go to the DC office to take a print out of the permit and seal it. And the only thing is that you can avoid office rush when taking it online. So when the permit is ready, take 6,7 photostat copies of the pass and keep it in your hand. You will have to give a copy of each check post. Keep the original in our hands.
Where can I get a Rothang permit? We can get a Rothang permit by going to the SDM office in Manali. The office is open from 10 am to 5 pm. If it is difficult for us to go directly, the agents will get the permit ready by searching the rental bike showrooms there. The charge is between Rs 50.70 per vehicle. Sunday and the second Saturday will be office holidays. The phone numbers for the SDM office are 01902-254100 and 01902-254200.
What are the documents required to get a Rothang Permit? The documents required to obtain a permit are a copy of your driving license and the registration certificate, insurance and pollution certificate of the vehicle you are traveling in.
