At 4000m above MSL, the Manali – Leh Highway provides a serene, pristine and spectacular view of the mighty mountain ranges – Himalayas.
As a part of the Border Roads Organization, this passage through the glacial valleys is the artery which transfers supplies to armies posted in the remotest of locations in India. As some of Indian Army’s heaviest trucks thunder across this terrain, it leaves behind a trail of heat, dust and poisonous exhausts which contribute to the rise in the local as well as global temperatures.
The glaciers surrounding the highway has been retreating over the past few years.
