Ladakh in my Laura- Travelogue

Wonderful TL. And absolutely fabulous pictures. Thread rated five stars.

I went through your entire story in detail and I was desperately trying to find a post where your Laura disappointed you. None! What a capable car Skoda has on their hands and people are shying away from it only because of the pathetic after sales service provided by the dealers. Skoda really needs some major work done in this area!

Anyway, congratulations once again on conquering Ladakh the third time.

Looking forward to your "Ladakh in my XUV" thread

If you want to see how XUV performed I have already posted a report in my ownership thread. The travelogue is still few days away, due to time constraint.

A great travelogue Anshuman!

I wanted to know if things have improved over time from 2012-13 to 2018-19 interms of road conditions to do a full circuit of Delhi-Srinagar-Dras-Leh-Manali-Delhi. FYI that, i drive a Skoda Octavia 2017 TSI petrol.

I will need your inputs as i am hoping to plan for 2019 season.

Thanks Pramod, Road conditions are much better now. Ladakh circuit is easily doable in Octavia with some safe and easy driving. All the best!
