There are two overland routes to Leh-the roads from Srinagar and Manali. While the Leh-Srinagar route is operative from June to October, the Leh-Manali route is operative from July to September. To reach Ladakh, the nearest airport is Leh. The flights from Delhi, Chandigarh and Srinagar take you directly to Leh.

The main overland approach to Ladakh is from the Kashmir Valley via the 434 km Srinagar-Leh road which remains open for traffic from early June to November. The most dramatic part of this road journey is the ascent up the 11,500 feet/3,505 m high Zoji-la, the pass in the Great Himalayan Wall that serves as the gateway to Ladakh. Regular bus services are available between Srinagar and Leh on this route with an overnight halt at Kargil. Taxis (cars and jeeps) are also available at Srinagar for the journey. Groups can charter buses for Leh, Kargil or Padum (Zanskar) at Srinagar. Since 1989, the 473 km Manali-Leh road has been serving as the second land approach to Ladakh. Open for traffic from around mid-June to early October, this high road traverses the upland desert plateaux of Rupshu whose altitude ranges from 3,660m to 4,570m. A number of high passes fall in route among which the highest one, known Taglang-la, is the world's second highest motorable pass at an altitude 17,469 feet / 5,325 m. The bus journey between Leh and Manali takes about 19 hours or two days with an overnight halt camps at Serchu or Pang. Gypsy and jeep taxis are also available, both at Manali and Leh.
Air Travel
Leh, the capital, has one of the highest airport in the world. It's almost the only way to access the area from november onwards until may, as mountain passes are closed. Indian Airlines operates regular scheduled flights to Leh from Delhi Chandigarh, Jammu and Srinagar. Some private airlines are also planning to operate air services between Delhi and Leh in the near future.

dear sabby.i would like to answer in this way- if you are adventure seeker & have some good (& tough company) drive down. If you are not then take a flight -jet also operates flights to leh. But nothing can compare the experience of driving down. manali -leh route is better. but it is open only for small period as road beyond manali -rohtang pass opens in summer months & closes during winters- snowfall.u'll need good offroader probably 4 wheel drive vehicle for peace of mind. its gonna b once in life kind of experience ! go ahead do ur own thing!

If you have one week for a holiday, fly down.
If you have more than 3 weeks, drive down from Manali.
If you have less than a week, go somewhere else.
If you are ready to commit suicide, drive down from Srinagar.
