Ladakh Expeditions

Manali to Leh to Srinagar, done right. Annual convoys, altitude prep and the cars that make it.

Open to: India
To a decision: 48 h
Run by: Octane

Ladakh Expeditions runs Octane's annual high-altitude convoys and the knowledge behind them: permits, acclimatisation, fuel and tyre planning, water crossings, EV and low-clearance realities and the day-by-day route notes that matter.

For owners planning or having done a Ladakh drive. Open with approval; ownership photo required for convoy places.

What happens here: scheduled Pan-India events with route cards and briefings, member-led sub-groups by city, skills sessions (driving, photography, navigation, first aid), and a calendar that is planned a quarter ahead.
