Traveling from the high-altitude village of Tangtse to the temple city of Bhubaneswar covers over 3200 km. You must first travel by road to Leh, which takes approximately 4 hours via the Chang La pass. From Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh, you can take a connecting flight to Biju Patnaik International Airport. This journey involves significant altitude changes and requires acclimatization in Leh. The route is primarily aerial after reaching Leh due to the extreme distance and terrain.
Total Distance: 3250 km by road, 2100 km straight-line.
Book your Leh to Delhi leg early as morning flights are frequently cancelled due to wind.
May to September, as mountain passes are clear and flights are less prone to weather cancellations.
