Public transport from Manali to Leh in Mid/end May

Hello

I am a solo female traveller who is planning to travel from Manali to Leh by 23 or 24 May.

I tried looking for the HRTC and HPDTC buses, but there were none showing up.

Does anyone know if the buses will be operational by my travel dates?

If not, are there shared Taxis going to Leh via Keylong? What would be the approx one way cost??

I am on a tight budget so looking for appropriate options for onward and return travel.

TIA

Month Long vacation in June in Himachal/Uttarakhand.

Hi, I am planning to go on a workation to Himachal or Uk in June. As of now, my plan is to go to Jibhi/Shoja and plan my stay in Zostel for whole month. I would love to hear some suggestions of itinerary or if there is any other place that you would suggest for whole month. I will be working from 9-5 mostly on weekdays so planning to not hopping places every week rather stay in a place and explore everything in a month. I love hiking, serene views, peaceful places. I would also like if there is a gym available nearby to stays. I had thought of Bir and Kalpa as well but discarded Bir considering overcrowded and Kalpa as the internet connectivity might be an issue. Also, are these safe places to visit in June, internet connection is also a top priority.

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the current temperature in Himachal is?

I am planning to go to Lahaul next week, so I looked at the current temperature before packing, and this was the window.

I asked our homestay owner about the same, but he told me it’s pleasant weather there, not that cold. I’ve heard that what is “not much cold” for pahadis can be very dangerous for us non-pahadis.

So, is anyone currently in Himachal who can give me a weather update?
