Choglamsar is situated on the right bank of famous Indus (Sindhu) river 8 kilometers South-East from Leh city. Leh is connected by roads to Manali (H.P.) and Srinagar (J&K) with the rest of the country. Both roads remain open only from April to November, as these roads remain closed due to heavy snowfall from December to March. However Leh is connected by air throughout the year and numbers of flights operate every day.
