The Hanle Chumar Road in Eastern Ladakh connecting Hanle to the border village of Chumar is ready to greet both soldiers and tourists. The road is expected to be inaugurated in late October or November this year. It further connects to Karzok , one of the world’s highest inhabited villages.

The 91 kms long road shortens the already existing treacherous route and reduces travel time by half. Previously, it took approximately six hours to travel from Hanle to Chumar , but the new route cuts travel time to about two hours. The road facilitates rapid movement of armed forces in this sensitive area and is also widely used by tourists and locals traveling from Hanle to Tso Moriri Lake. It is truly a must-drive route to experience the scenic beauty of Ladakh.
