  • An Indian tourist is taking a break along the Leh-Manali Highway during one of the many long queues that come to create due to its steepness and narrowness. Six thousands workers are employed from East India by the Indian Army every year to maintain and strengthen the road which has become an important tourist and economic route to the north...The Leh-Manali Highway is the main road connection between the remote mountainous region of Ladhak, with capital in Leh (3300m), and Manali, HP, a famous hill station 600 km north of New Delhi. Open only four months a year, it is the second-highest motorable road in the world crossing passes up to 5300 meters. It was constructed by the Indian Army in order to develop the surrounding areas as well as monitoring the nearby borders with Kashmir and China. Due to its beauty and increased accessibility, the road to Leh and Ladhak has recently become a must-see destination for local and international tourists leaving the scorching Indian plains..
