This is the 16th post of the Manali Leh Highway series, in the previous posts of this series you have covered Himalayan Shepherds, Life of Changpa Tribe, Himalayan Rickshaw Run, Lahaul Valley, Maurey Plains Tanglang La, Naki La, Leh, Rohtang Pass, Lahaul Valley, Maurey Plains See the storm scenes and the landscapes of this highway and learn about this colorful earth. Today in this series we are going to see some beautiful landscapes on Manali Leh Highway, so let's start the journey.
An artificial lake has been made in Maure Plains, the purpose of this lake is only that animals can get drinking water. Because the altitude is so high that drinking water is not available for animals everywhere, so animals have to travel long distances, because of this they have to go far away from their children and homes, sometimes animals go on such long journeys. Himalayan bears and snow leopards also become prey. So to solve all these problems, a lake was constructed in Maure Plains where all the animals drink water for the last few years, and now flocks of migratory birds have also started coming here.
The amount of minerals is very high in the mountains of Ladakh, so many colors are seen in the mountains here, such as orange color, red color, every color, gray color, yellow color, light blue, magenta color and pink color. You can also enjoy these colors in the photos. The height here is much higher than the sea level, more means 5319 meters and snow falls from 40 to 60 feet at this height. Every year during winter this highway is closed for all. The highway is opened again every year in the summer, it also takes 2 months to open it.
In some photos you can see the greenery, behind this greenery is the contribution of the local people. Because there are no employment opportunities here, everything depends on tourism here. Because the height here is very high and there is no greenery at all, that's why tourists used to come less here. So that more tourists come and the possibility of employment increases, so the local people planted trees here, at least there is so much greenery in Leh that tourists do not have much breathing problem.
Lahaul Valley is a charisma in itself. This is a suitable place for farming, so now along with the cultivation of vegetables, apple crop has also started here. In the photos you can see the scenery of Lahaul valley. There are two lakes touching this highway, first Deepak Tal and second Suraj Tal. In the photos you can see the beautiful view of Suraj Taal where Suraj Lake is sleeping like a small child in the lap of snowy mountains.
In some photos you can see the mountain peaks visible in the distance, believe me these peaks are more than 7000 meters high. The highest peak of Ladakh named Saser Kangri has a height of 7742 meters and this peak is situated on the world's coldest and most dangerous glacier named Siachen.
That's all for this post, I hope you liked all the landscapes located on Manali Leh Highway. Have you ever seen colorful mountains? If yes then comment and tell which was that place. Thank you, have a nice day.

Amazing set and some really beautiful landscapes. Would be an interesting place to visit I'm sure.

Saser Kangri's not situated on Himalaya, right? Is Ladakh located between Hindu-kush and Hamalaya?
Fabulous photos. Thank for sharing. ☀️
Sasser Kangri, one of the most inaccessible and difficult glaciers in the world, is located in Siachen. And yes it is in the Himalayas only and the old name of this place is Hindu Kush which is half in India and half in Pakistan.
