The Leh–Manali Highway (Hindi: लेह-मनाली राजमार्ग Lēha-manālī rājamārga) is a highway in northern India connecting Leh in Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir state and Manali in Himachal Pradesh state. It is open for only about four and a half months in a year in summer between May or June, when the snow is cleared, and mid-October when snowfall again blocks the high passes. It connects Manali valley to Lahaul and Spiti valleys and Zanskar valley in Ladakh.

Leh–Manali Highway was designed and built and is maintained entirely by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of Indian army.
The total length of the highway is 490 km (300 mi). The distance in Himachal Pradesh state between Manali and Sarchu is 230 km (140 mi)[4] and the distance in Ladakh region from Sarchu to Leh is 260 km (160 mi)
