Answer
In principle, it is permissible for one to undertake a journey in the month of Ramadhaan and fasting will not be obligatory.
However, he is at liberty to fast. It is commendable for him to fast if he can manage. (Shaami bol.2 pg.461)

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
