Do not take the Srinagar route if you are going now because of the recent protest and most areas of Kashmir are under curfew these days. Manali ā Leh route is absolutely fine as far as security is concerned and whole of Ladakh is good as far as security is concerned. Road (travel) Safety is a different aspect and out of the scope of this thread.
It is safe. Hope you enjoy your travel š I traveled to Leh in 2010. The place should not be missed.
Anu Motors in Manali have a good network of good people. They extensively travel to Leh and back as part of groups. You can approach them for more information and help.
