I am going on holiday to Srinagar with some friends, and we are thinking about maybe going to Leh from there. In case we do decide to go, we would like to know beforehand about the Volvo bus service from Srinagar to Leh, such as the timings, duration, cost and where we would get the bus from.
There is one bus daily which leaves for Leh from Srinagar. The bus leaves morning at around 8 am, at the TRC point in Srinagar. Timings may change. You can not book the ticket online and it is best to purchase your tickets from the counter at TRC a day in advance. The fare for the Volvo bus from Srinagar to Leh is Rs1705. There is a night halt in Kargil and the next day the bus leaves early morning and arrives in Leh late afternoon or evening.
