Golden Quadrilateral is a lot more fun than Information Superhighway!

haha yes of course. But I tend to be very strict with the driver's attire. It has to be Indian truck driver style - striped chaddis, a lungi, a sweaty banian and a dirty towel wrapped over your head.

When do you plan to go there? Will these roads be open 365 days a year? I know that Manali - Leh road is closed after October, not sure about the Kargil route. Just check with somebody (say, a hotel in Leh) before you leave. Don't forget to upload your photos after your trip.
I would have come, but my car can't survive a direct hit from a 120mm shell. Drive carefully, and take some altitude sickness pills (seems odd giving this suggestion to a doctor!)

Oh....would those pills be effective in dealing rooms with Markets at dizzying heights?
