Reliability a Class Apart

In vacation of June 2011, tour of LEH was taken up in self driven Hyndai accent some 1.5 year old.

Planning was to reach LEH by Manali-LEH highway and return by LEH-Srinagar highway to enjoy  beauty of Great Himalaya on the way.

We reached from Surat to Manali to catch Manali- LEH highway. However, after reaching Manali, we came to know that the highway was not opened due to heavy snowfall on Baralacha La. It was expected to be opened in next couple of days. Instead of waiting in Manali, we decided to take Srinagar-Leh highway first to reach LEH and return by LEh- Manali Highway.

In the tour we travelled all the national highways of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir and high altitude Ghats( LA) of Kashmir and LEH . List is -

NH8 - Surat to Delhi

NH1- Delhi to Ambala, Pathankot to Jammu

NH 22- Ambala to Simla

NH20- Manali to Pathankot

NH1A - Jammu to Srinagar

NH1D - Srinagar to LEH

NH21 - LEH to Manali

Check the specs. of Toyota Etios. Same with Accent. What is so great about Toyota?
