Manali – Leh Road Status (2025): CLOSED Srinagar – Leh Road Status (2025): PARTIALLY OPEN Darcha-Padum (Zanskar) Road Status (2025): CLOSED 28 February 2025: Season's heaviest snowfall blocked entire length of the Manali-Leh highway beyond Manali. The road, which was already buried under 1 to 10 ft thick blanket of snow, received another 1 to 5 ft deep fresh snow. The weather is expected to remain clear on March 1 and 2, but more snowfall is expected on March 3 and 4. There are no chances of opening of Leh Manali road in March while it's very difficult in April. So, like every year, the road is expected to open in May. 16 January 2025: Another spell of snowfall has added to the thickness of snow accumulated on the road along Leh-Manali highway which is completely closed for traffic movement. The highway will now reopen in May after Border Roads Organisation (BRO) will clear the snow. The Leh-Srinagar highway is also blocked following snowfall at Zojila pass, Drass, and Sonmarg areas. The road can reopen for 4X4 vehicles in a few days, but its advisable for tourists not to travel by road as surface is extremely slippery. 6 January 2025: More snowfall along Manali-Leh highway today. 27 December 2024: Heavy snowfall has blocked the entire length of the Manali-Sarchu-Leh high (NH-3). May areas have received over 2.5-foot deep snow. Note: Its extremely dangerous to drive/travel on the Leh-Manali highway due to deposit of ice on road surface. The vehicles are skidding on the road, and sudden snowfall can trap vehicles for days or months. The road will reopen for normal and safe travel in May 2025 (next year). Tourists can travel to Leh by flight in winter season as well. 06 December 2024: Manali-Leh road is closed for tourists. Tourists
