Well buddy, im driving from Mumbai. As of now Manali is not on my list, but it will be if Malling is shut.

This is my initial plan...could start late august or 1st week sept. The distances are all ballpark numbers.

I see that day 1 looks a bit ambitious.
I will club Day 2,3,4,5 and try to reach Srinagar on Day 2 or atleast by day3.
On the return I would delete the time wasted at Manali, Chandigad, etc, that saves me another 3 days. All the total days saved will be spent in Ladakh , Zanskar valley, marsimik la, Padum, etc and then On the return a visit to Chandertal and if Malling is open then I will drive back via Spiti and return from Shimla.

Cheers,

Jay
