A 7-Day Leh Ladakh Trip Itinerary For First-Time Visitors

We sent Chandrika on a once-in-a-lifetime Ladakh trip. She came back to tell us how everyone can make it happen.

A land many have heard of, but only the ones with adventure in their hearts have dared to venture to. A land of rugged mountains that coexist alongside the mystical chants of Buddhist prayers – the recently declared Indian Union Territory of Ladakh is this and so much more! 

Located in the northern part of the Indian sub-continent bordering Tibet, Ladakh is shrouded in a certain mystery, despite having gained a lot of popularity in the past few years.

Filled with adrenaline-inducing twists and turns, high mountain passes, and some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in India, a trip through Ladakh is the perfect way to get an introduction to the Himalayan region. 

ladakh tour youtube

Ladakh is a high-altitude region, meaning, no matter which part of Ladakh you are at, you’ll find yourself at a minimum altitude of 3000 meters (9800 feet) above sea level. This is important to mention here because this is considerably higher than most people are used to and the high altitude affects many aspects of travel in this region.

To help you execute that dream Ladakh trip, this 7-day itinerary designed by India Someday and Unplugged Life will take you through some of the biggest highlights of the region, while giving you a sense of what it means to be traveling in a destination as unique as this.

How to get to Ladakh

Before we dive deep into the specifics of the itinerary, it’s crucial to plan your arrival in Ladakh. The best way to reach Ladakh is to fly in. The biggest town in Ladakh is Leh, which is connected by air with India’s capital city, New Delhi.

Daily direct flights are running between Delhi ’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and Leh’s Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, run by 3 Indian airlines – Air India, SpiceJet, and GoAir. If you are traveling from another country or Indian city, you’ll first have to get to Delhi to catch the 1.5-hour flight to Leh.

Although there are multiple flights available daily, do keep in mind that the weather in Leh largely determines flight schedules. Turbulent weather is pretty common in this region so flights taking off an hour early or an hour late is not unheard of. Having said that, we have to admit that the destination is worth all that trouble!

Leh Ladakh 7-day itinerary

Day 1 – land in leh and rest.

ladakh tour youtube

The erstwhile capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh, Leh is perched at an altitude of 3524 meters (11562 feet) and is home to some of the most popular attractions in the region.

The landscape in Leh is rugged, with a backdrop of barren mountains, while the weather is generally dry and very hot during the day and slightly chilly at night, depending on which month of the year you visit.

Most flights to Leh land sometime in the morning or early afternoon, so you can expect to have more than half a day to spare. But this is a day to take it easy. Remember you’ve just landed at a high altitude destination practically from the sea level (Delhi lies at an altitude of roughly 200m above sea level) and that means your body needs time to acclimatize to this drastic change.

The process of acclimatization can take a while, about 24-48 hours for most people. But no matter how you feel on day 1 (we know you’re excited!), you must take as much rest as you can and keep yourself hydrated. This is a day of barely any physical activity, so go ahead and enjoy the views from your hotel and indulge in the local Ladakhi food to gear up for the next day.

Where to stay in Leh : Gangba Homestay

ladakh tour youtube

A picture-postcard-like setting with a traditional Ladakhi-style building, an apple orchard, and a view of snowy peaks in the distance – Gangba Homestay is truly a home away from home.

ladakh tour youtube

Run by a local family, they are the warmest, most welcoming hosts you could ask for in Leh! To top that, the food served in the homestay is delicious and homely, while the rooms are very spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. But what sets Gangba Homestay apart is their hospitality and the staff’s mindset to always go the extra mile to care for their guests.

Day 2 – Leh city tour

Your second day in Ladakh will also be spent in Leh to continue with the acclimatization process. However, on this day you’ll be taking a tour of the beautiful city and its surrounding areas. 

Confluence (Sangam) of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers

ladakh tour youtube

Located around 35 Km away from Leh town, the point of confluence of the mighty Indus and Zanskar Rivers is your first stop for the day. The different shades of green of the two rivers’ water are distinctly visible with bare eyes, making it a place worth visiting during your stay in Leh.

You can either choose to drive down to the exact point of confluence, maybe enjoy the view with a cup of steaming hot tea, or you could also get a bird’s eye view of the confluence from a vantage point. Depending on which time of the year you visit, you’ll notice how different both rivers look individually, leading up to their meeting point.

Magnetic Hill

ladakh tour youtube

A very popular tourist attraction in Leh, Magnetic Hill is technically a small stretch of road on the Leh-Kargil Highway. It is popularly known to be a spot where gravitational forces can be defied, due to a so-called magnetic pull from the surrounding mountains. Although this spot has maintained its popularity among tourists, there is not much truth to what happens here.

The landscape of the surrounding mountains and slopes is such that, to our eyes, it looks like the road is sloping uphill, but in reality the road slopes downhill making cars roll down even on neutral gear. But having said that, it’s a great spot to stop by for a while and get a good look at the stunning landscape.

Lunch at a local Tibetan restaurant

Ladakh is not only well known for its natural beauty, but for its delicious local cuisine too. With heavy influences from the neighboring Tibetan cuisine, you’d be missing out on an important cultural element if you don’t give Ladakhi food a try.

Head to Tenzin Dickey Tibetan Restaurant , located less than a kilometer from Leh’s main market, for a sumptuous lunch of local dumplings, noodles, soups, and an assortment of drinks. The restaurant is unassuming and cozy and the food makes you feel right at home.

ladakh tour youtube

Belonging to the Namgyal dynasty of Ladakh, Leh Palace is the former residential palace of the royal family. Perched on top of a hill, the palace overlooks Leh and has now been converted into a museum for visitors to get a glimpse of Ladakhi royal heritage.

A tour of the 9-storeyed palace takes you through almost 450 years of artifacts belonging to the royal family. Although the palace is still under renovation, it is worth a visit for the incredible bird’s eye view of the city it offers.

Leh main market

ladakh tour youtube

Leh’s main bazaar is a colorful, bustling market in the city center and the perfect place to spend a leisurely evening strolling through its narrow alleys. The market is home to shops selling all kinds of local products – from fresh produce to souvenirs and handicraft items.

Pick up Tibetan prayer flags and wheels or silver jewelry, taste local dry fruits like apricots, figs, and walnuts, and end the day with a meal at one of the many cafes lining the street.

Day 3 – Drive to Nubra Valley via Khardung La

ladakh tour youtube

On your third day in Ladakh, it’s time to venture out of the city into the mountains!

The curvy roads of Ladakh can be unforgivable so it is important to be accompanied by an experienced local driver. Some stretches of road are steep and bumpy and you need a good car for better comfort. You can hire a private car but keep in mind that the cost of transport is quite high in Ladakh.

A good option for solo travelers and couples is to use shared taxis that are available for all kinds of tours in Ladakh , including the 3-day Nubra-Pangong tour. This helps saving money by sharing the cost of transport with other travelers. Sharing a car also helps to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, and therefore, the pollution.

The drive from Leh to Nubra Valley takes approximately 5-6 hours. But the biggest highlight of the drive is climbing up to the Khardung La (La is the Ladakhi word for a mountain pass) and crossing it to get to the other side of the Ladakh mountain range.

The pass is situated at an altitude of 17,582 feet (5359m) and is considered to be one of the highest motorable passes in the world.

ladakh tour youtube

The winding mountain road leading up to Khardung La is spectacular and is a treat in itself. Once at the top of the pass, spend 15-20 minutes exploring the surroundings without exerting your body too much.

It is important to remember that there is very little oxygen available to breathe at such high altitude, so take it easy and enjoy the breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains.

ladakh tour youtube

Once you cross Khardung La and start driving towards Nubra Valley, the landscape changes dramatically. The drive past Shyok River towards the lush green valley of Nubra is worth keeping your eyes peeled for!

ladakh tour youtube

By the time you get to your hotel in Nubra Valley after several pit stops on the way, it’ll probably be late afternoon.

Complete your check-in formalities and head to the famous Hundar dunes to catch the sunset, with herds of Bactrian Camels for company. The Bactrian Camels are native to this region and are known for their ability to withstand high altitudes and extreme cold.

ladakh tour youtube

To say the least, the landscape here is equally fascinating, with rolling sand dunes as far as the eyes can see, enclosed by towering rocky mountains on all sides.

Where to stay in Nubra Valley – Stone Hedge Ladakh

ladakh tour youtube

A gorgeous property located just 10 minutes away from the Hundar sand dunes, Stone Hedge is one of the most luxurious hotels you will come across in Ladakh.

ladakh tour youtube

Like a little oasis in the desert, with a natural spring flowing in the backyard, a lush garden whichever direction you look, and warm and cozy interiors, Stone Hedge sets the bar high.

Their rooms are exceptionally well-furnished with perfect mood lighting, elegant wood furniture, a room heater (rarely found elsewhere in Ladakh), and a lovely balcony that opens up to the backyard.

Day 4 – Drive to Pangong Lake

Check out from your hotel in Nubra Valley this morning and head back to the dunes once again if you want to see it in daylight. The difference is stark and worth another visit. Alternatively, you can directly head to Diskit Monastery in Nubra Valley before starting the drive towards Pangong Lake. 

ladakh tour youtube

The Diskit Monastery is the oldest and largest monastery in Nubra Valley. The iconic statue of the Maitreya Buddha stands tall here at a height of 32 meters and overlooks the vast plains of the Shyok River flowing nearby. 

ladakh tour youtube

After a tour of the monastery, it’s time to get on your way to Pangong Lake. The drive is roughly 6 hours long and takes you through picturesque mountain roads.

Flanked by the Shyok River on one side for most of the journey, this drive takes you from an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3048 meters) to 14,270 feet (4350 meters), where Pangong Lake is located.

ladakh tour youtube

Pangong Tso (Tso is the Ladakhi word for lake) is a saline water lake that spreads across India and Tibet. In fact, 60% of the lake lies in Tibet. But given its massive length and width, it would take roughly 3 hours to drive along its coast only on the Indian side.

ladakh tour youtube

Popular for its stunning turquoise blue water, Pangong Tso is one of the biggest attractions in all of Ladakh. However, do keep in mind that the appearance of the lake largely depends on which time of the year you visit.

The lake is completely frozen in the winter while the peak summer months from June to August are when it reveals all its colors.

ladakh tour youtube

Once you reach Pangong Tso, check into your accommodation for the night. After that, you’ll have the evening free to either take a stroll near the lake or sit at one of the small restaurants, enjoy the view while sipping hot tea.

Do keep in mind that as the sun sets, it tends to get chilly in this part of Ladakh, the extent of which again depends on the season. So get ready to layer up some warm clothes and snuggle in for the night!

Where to stay in Pangong Tso – Native Huts

ladakh tour youtube

There are no permanent hotels near Pangong Lake, so be prepared for a night of adventure staying in these wooden huts specially constructed for tourists while the travel season lasts. The huts come with an attached western toilet and have basic amenities like fresh towels, warm blankets, and charging points (operational from 6 pm to 11 pm).

The owners of these huts are very helpful and accommodating so if you want more blankets or hot water, just let them know. They also arrange fresh, hot meals for guests in a separate dining space inside another hut, and that food at the end of a long, cold day truly warms the heart.

Day 5 – Drive back to Leh via Chang La

This will be the last day of driving through Ladakh, but expect it to be no less exciting than the previous two days!

The journey from Pangong Lake back to Leh takes close to 6 hours and will take you via Chang La, a mountain pass situated at an altitude of 17,590 feet (5360 meters).

ladakh tour youtube

The drive to Chang La is relatively bumpier than what you would have experienced while driving to Khardung La, but the experience of getting to the top of the pass is incredible. 

ladakh tour youtube

On the way from Chang La to Leh, make another stop at the famous Hemis Monastery. With a long and rich history, the monastery also houses a museum that showcases artifacts from the museum’s heritage.

ladakh tour youtube

Considered to be one of the largest monasteries in Ladakh, the highlight of visiting Hemis is the huge statue of Guru Rinpoche and the monastery’s unique architecture.

Day 6 – Explore Leh

Spend your final day in Ladakh seeing more of Leh and wrapping up your visit. This would be a good day to revisit the local market to pick up souvenirs to take home, in addition to visiting the following places.

Thiksey Monastery

ladakh tour youtube

Start your day early with a visit to the Thiksey Monastery to witness the morning prayer chanting session. Get there by 7 am so you can get in the prayer hall in time without disturbing the monks. It may seem way too early, but the experience is magical!

ladakh tour youtube

As the sun rises and illuminates the surrounding snow-capped peaks, the monks begin their day together by rhythmically chanting Buddhist prayers – an experience not to be missed in Leh.

Shanti Stupa

ladakh tour youtube

Constructed as part of a Peace Pagoda Mission, the Shanti Stupa was built jointly by the Buddhist community of Japan and Ladakh. While the iconic white dome sits at the top, the Shanti Stupa houses the relics of the Buddha at its base.

Visited for its religious as well as architectural value, there’s a certain air of calm surrounding the Stupa, as it sits looking over the vast expanse of Leh.

Stok Palace

ladakh tour youtube

Located on the western bank of River Indus, the Stok Palace was originally built as the summer home of Ladakh’s royal family. Currently, this is where the royal family resides all year long.

The palace also has several museum rooms that display lots of ancient artifacts belonging to the royal family- from precious jewelry and royal attires to weapons and items of daily use.

ladakh tour youtube

A part of the Stok Palace has now been transformed into a heritage hotel and opened up to travelers who want to experience the royal way of living for a few days.

Lunch in the orchard at Chulli Bagh

ladakh tour youtube

After a tour of the Stok Palace, head to the nearby Chulli Bagh, which is essentially the royal family’s orchard, with apricot and walnut trees dominating the scene.

ladakh tour youtube

Settle down for a luxurious lunch amidst the lush greenery of the meticulously maintained orchard and enjoy a delicious meal accompanied by freshly plucked fruits from the garden.

Ladakhi cultural show

ladakh tour youtube

Now that it’s almost time to wrap up your final day in Leh, head back to the hotel to watch a vibrant cultural show displaying the beautiful dance forms and music of Ladakh.

Ladakh has a rich culture comprising beautiful folk dances native to different parts of the region, performed by both men and women, depending on the dance form.

ladakh tour youtube

Decked in traditional costumes and jewelry, it’s a real treat to watch the locals match steps while humming Ladakhi songs. 

Day 7 – Depart from Leh

This is a day of no activity since you have to catch a flight out of Leh back to Delhi. Depending on your flight time, you may be able to squeeze in a couple of hours in the morning to visit the local market or the village if you want, for a final glimpse of life in Ladakh!

ladakh tour youtube

Ladakh is vast and a one-week trip may not entirely do justice to its beauty. But if this is all the time you have, this itinerary is a good place to start planning your trip.

9 breathtaking treks to do in Ladakh

By Andrea Pinto

Ladakh Trek

Whether you're a rookie or an expert mountaineer, the vast, barren desert land of Ladakh will appeal to anyone with a penchant for the outdoors. The cold, arid land, high altitude and unpredictable weather of Ladakh often deter beginners from making the trip, but trust us, the bursts of purple wildflowers, meadows of green and piercing blue lakes will make it worth the effort.

With trekking season in Ladakh upon us, here's our list of six treks in Ladakh to attempt this season:

Lamayuru to Chilling

Duration: 5-6 days Level: beginner to intermediate Best time to go: mid-June to September Highest altitude: 4,950m Starting point: Leh

The Lamayuru to Chilling Trek begins at the Lamayuru monastery and takes you to Chilling village in the Zanskar Valley. The route is dotted with monasteries, villages, mountain passes, barley fields and meadows to give you the entire Ladakh experience, complete with some incredible views of the Stok and Karakoram ranges. The trek takes you through the area of Shey where you can find the famous Shey Gompa, which was used as a summer palace for the kings of Ladakh. On day four, you will pass through the valley of Kanski La where you can mingle with the shepherds who make butter and cheese here. Chilling village itself is a fascinating place to spend a day or two. Founded by copper craftsmen from Nepal, the village is famous for producing beautiful copper handicrafts. From Chilling village, you can drive to Leh which is the closest airport.

Duration: 8 days Level: beginner to intermediate Best time to go: June to September Highest altitude: 5,265 m Starting point: Leh

Also known as the Tea House Trek for the sheer number of tea house pit stops along the way, the Markha Valley expedition is one of Ladakh's most popular treks. Perfect for beginners, the trek takes you through Buddhist monasteries and mountain villages with a gorgeous view of the Zanskar range. The highest point of the trek is Kongmaru La Pass (5,265m) which connects Markha Valley to the Indus Valley. The route goes past Hemis National Park, famous for its snow leopards that make an appearance only during the winter months.

Spituk to Matho

Duration: 5 days Level: beginner Best time to go: mid-June to September Highest altitude: 4,855m Starting point: Leh

This five-day trek is perfect for first timers and those of you who are just getting acquainted with the mountains. The route begins with a scenic walk along the Indus river before entering the gorge leading to Zingchen. From here you will pass through Hemis National Park where you have a high chance of spotting some incredible wildlife. Other than snow leopards, the park is home to the Tibetan wolf, Eurasian brown bear and the Bharal (or blue sheep). As the area lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, you can expect dry forests and alpine trees.

Padum to Darcha

Duration: 10 days Level: Beginner to Intermediate Best time to go: Mid-June to September Highest altitude: 5,090m Starting point: Leh

The Padum to Darcha trek is another one great for first timers, with only one relatively steep ascent that might pose a challenge. The trek begins at Padum where you pass through the Phugtal monastery. This is one of the few monasteries in Ladakh which can still be reached only by foot. Look out for prehistoric carvings you will find on rocks on the way, proof of the nomads and tribes who used to pass through the region. Once you reach the Kargyak River area, you will cross a number of camps called doksas where you can spot families of yaks grazing in the fields. Try a bowl of jo here or curd made of yak's milk. A steep ascent will take you to Shingo La, the highest point of the trek after which you make a three-hour descent through rocks and scree, down to Ramjak. Your last day will take you past gentle streams and tea shops until you reach Chika, where the road begins again.

Rumtse to Tso Moriri

Duration: 11 days Level: intermediate to advanced Best time to go: June-mid October Highest altitude: 4,950 m Starting point: Leh

The Rumtse to Tso Moriri trek takes you across seven mountain passes, to reach the largest high-altitude lake in India, Tso Moriri. Colourful wildflowers and breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of Ladakh make it worth the climb. The highest point of the trek is Tso Moriri Lake which stretches out for 28km from north to south. Keep your eyes peeled for some beautiful birds like the Bar Headed Goose, the Horned Lark and the Brown Headed Gull who frequent the region. On your descent, stop by at the Chumathang hot springs to soothe those aching muscles. The locals even believe that the water has medicinal benefits.

Stok Kangri

Duration: 7-9 days Level: Intermediate to Advanced Best time to go: Mid-July to mid-September Highest altitude: 6,120m Starting point: Leh

Stok Kangri is not a climb for the faint hearted. Beginners can choose to trek up to the Stok Kangri base camp, while the more experienced mountaineers can head to the summit. For those making a summit attempt, a point to be noted is that this is a non-technical climb and can be attempted without any mountaineering equipment. The trek involves crossing steep ridges and glaciers and the cold, thin air will be one of your biggest challenges. But the stunning view of the Zanskar and Indus Valley makes the struggle worth your while.

Nubra Valley trek from Phyang to Hunder

Nubra Valley Leh India

Duration: 5 days Level: Intermediate Best time to go: Mid-July to the end of September Highest altitude: 5,438m Starting point: Leh

Besides offering breathtaking views, this moderately difficult trek from Phyang to Hunder in Nubra valley is of much historical significance. Connecting Indus valley to Nubra Valley, the trek follows the ancient silk route which once connected India to the rest of central Asia. Soak in the mesmerising view of the Karakoram range, as you reach the highest point of the trek at Lasermo La Pass at 5,000mt. At Nubra Valley, visit the Diskit Gompa, and take a ride on the double-humped Bactrian camel, native to the region.

Sham Valley Trek

Duration: 3 days Level: Easy Best time to go: All year round Highest altitude: 3,874m Starting point: Hemis National Park

Also called the ‘baby trek’, this one is for all those who want to begin their trekking journey. It is also suitable for children. The trek takes you through the Sham region of Leh, and not only offers stunning views but also a chance to explore the villages and spend the night staying with the locals at their homes, experiencing their culture and trying the local cuisine. You can also visit the many monasteries in the area such as Likir, Rizong, Temisgam, Basgo and Alchi.

Chadar Trek

Randonneurs trek Chadar 22 janvier 2019 vallée de la rivière gelée du Zanskar Ladakh Inde.

Duration: 8 days Level: Difficult Best time to go: Mid-January to mid-February Highest Altitude: ​​ 11,123 ft Starting point: Chilling

The Chadar Trek, also known as the Frozen River Trek, is undertaken on the frosted waters of the Zanskar River in Ladakh. In its frozen state, the river itself is called 'Chadar', which translates to blanket in Hindi. During the winter months, the road to Zanskar Valley is closed due to heavy snowfall and avalanches. The only remaining overland route is to walk across the Chadar. The frozen river is used as a trekking route to reach Leh. The trek starts from the village of Chilling, about 37 miles west of Leh. The 105km long trek is an arduous one, with travellers having to walk about 15km per day. In peak winter (January-February), the temperature drops to -20 to -30 degrees during the day, which is ideal for a successful trek as a large portion of the water remains frozen.

Ladakh’s Climate (# ladakh travel tips)

One of the important Leh Ladakh travel tips that you need to keep in mind is that the weather is severe in this part of India. So, you must bring sweaters and warm coats whenever you visit Ladakh.

Those who can’t stand the cold even with warm clothes should avoid a Ladakh journey in winter, from November to March, when it is extremely cold, with temperatures dropping well below freezing point. The average temperatures range from -20°C to 10°C (-4°F to 50°F). Most of Ladakh, including popular tourist destinations like Pangong Tso and Nubra Valley, remains inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, and many guesthouses and hotels are closed.

ladakh tour youtube

The best time to visit this region is in summer, from April to June, when the weather is pleasant and the temperatures are relatively moderate. The average daytime temperature is from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). It is an ideal time for outdoor activities like trekking through mountains and valleys, rafting, and enjoying the stunning landscapes.

Acute Mountain Sickness (# ladakh travel tips)

It’s important to note that Ladakh is located at a high altitude and a Ladakh trip will surely take you to mountains of 3,000m to 7,000m (10,000 ft to 23,000 ft) above sea level. Therefore, you must be aware of Acute Mountain Sickness (ASM), usually occurring at altitudes above 2,500m (8,000 ft).

ladakh tour youtube

AMS is a common condition caused by the reduced oxygen levels and lower air pressure that can occur when you ascend to high altitudes too quickly without giving your body enough time to acclimatize. AMS can cause shortness of breath, severe headaches, vomiting, and loss of appetite among others.

ladakh tour youtube

Being aware of AMS is one of the important and must-know things for Ladakh travel. You should consult your doctor and carry AMS drugs with you. Without AMS drugs, suffering AMS may lead to bubbles forming in the lungs. This is a medical emergency that, if left untreated, can result in coma or death. You should also bring a personal thermometer, sphygmomanometer and first aid kit. You should check your temperature whenever you feel dizzy in high altitude areas in Ladakh.

Car rental in Ladakh (# ladakh tips)

How to explore Ladakh when you’re not ready to go mountain biking or hiking? Consider a Ladakh road safari! A Ladakh road safari or road trip offers a unique and adventurous way to experience the beauty and cultural richness of the region. This option is also a much more cost-effective way to explore the world’s highest road in Ladakh.

ladakh tour youtube

However, it is important to note that Ladakh’s high-altitude environment and challenging road conditions require careful planning and preparation for a road trip. You should make sure you are physically fit, acclimatize properly to the altitude, carry essential supplies, and have a reliable and well-maintained car.

ladakh tour youtube

Many tour operators and travel agencies in Leh offer organized Ladakh road safari packages, including vehicle rentals and experienced drivers. They allow up to 6 people per drive. These agencies can be found in the main bazaar area of Leh town. Some well-known car rental agencies here include Avis, Himalayan Wheels, and Discover Ladakh Adventure Tours & Travel.

ladakh tour youtube

You can also drive yourself or hire a driver if you are not capable of driving on high mountain roads. You should plan ahead, book your car rental in advance, and check the availability of vehicles during your travel dates, especially during the peak tourist season (April to September), as availability may be limited. You can use online car rental platforms. Websites or apps such as Zoomcar, Revv, and Savaari provide options for renting self-drive cars in various locations in Ladakh.

Accommodation for tourists in Ladakh  (# ladakh tips)

ladakh tour youtube

Ladakh offers tourists several accommodation options such as hotels, guesthouses, homestays, campsites and tents, but the number of these facilities is limited.  You should know that it’s hard to find a luxury place to stay somewhere not in Leh, so just expect standard ones with HVAC, TV and hot shower.

ladakh tour youtube

The availability of accommodation options may vary depending on the season and the specific region of Ladakh you plan to visit. During the peak tourist season (April to September), you should book your accommodation in advance, especially if you have specific preferences or requirements. If you wish to see the snowy beauty of the Himalayas in winter, be aware that nighttime temperatures drop below zero. Without a place to stay, you’ll have a hard time staying in your car or by a campfire with warm clothes.

ladakh tour youtube

While planning your stay in Ladakh, consider factors such as location, accessibility, services offered, and the proximity to major attractions or activities you wish to explore. Researching and reading reviews from reliable sources can help you make informed decisions and find the accommodation that suits your needs and enhances your Ladakh experience.

What to wear for a Ladakh trip?

ladakh tour youtube

If you reach this tip, you know that temperature in Ladakh ranges from -20°C to 25°C and it changes significantly between daytime and nighttime. Therefore, Ladakh travel clothing tips tell you that there is no other choice but warm clothes.

  • Comfortable, waterproof, and sturdy footwear suitable for walking on uneven terrain and long hikes.
  • A sufficient number of socks, including woolen or thermal socks for colder days.

ladakh tour youtube

If your warm clothes do not provide enough protection from the cold, it is better to buy more of them in Leh. Those products are handmade with natural fur. It feels well-deserved as soon as you put them on and they are also affordable.

What to put in your luggage for a trip to Ladakh

  • A high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from the intense sun at higher altitudes and a lip balm with SPF to prevent chapped lips;
  • A daypack or backpack to store your essentials during excursions or hikes;
  • A reusable water bottle with insulation to stay hydrated to keep your water cool.
  • Any necessary medications, including those for AMS, a personal hygiene kit along with a basic first aid kit for minor injuries or illnesses;

What is the currency in Ladakh?

The currency used in Ladakh is the Indian Rupee (INR), as Ladakh is a part of the Indian Territory. 1 INR = 0.012 USD.

ladakh tour youtube

The rule of thumb is to carry INR in cash when traveling to Ladakh. While a few establishments in major towns like Leh may accept credit cards or digital payments, cash is widely used, especially in remote areas with no internet connection and for small transactions. You should exchange currency before arriving in Ladakh or in major cities like Delhi or Srinagar, as currency exchange facilities are limited in Ladakh.

ladakh tour youtube

Leh, the main town of Ladakh, has only a few ATMs where you can withdraw cash using your debit or credit card. However, it’s important to note that ATMs can sometimes run out of cash or experience technical issues. So, you should carry sufficient cash with you and withdraw money when you have the opportunity to do so.

ladakh tour youtube

SIM cards and telecommunication networks in Ladakh

On your Ladakh adventure, you will certainly need a 4G travel SIM card to help you check in anytime anywhere possible, stay in touch with your loved ones or find your way. Where to buy a 4G travel SIM card? The most common option is to buy it at the airport. All airports have service counters operated by local network providers to provide SIM cards to travelers.

ladakh tour youtube

There are 4 main network providers in Ladakh: Airtel, Jio, Vodafone Idea (VI), and BSNL. Each provider may have different network coverage and signal strength in different areas. You should inquire about the network coverage of various providers and choose one that offers better connectivity based on your travel plans.

ladakh tour youtube

You should keep in mind that the network coverage in Ladakh can be limited, especially in remote areas and high-altitude regions. While major towns like Leh and Kargil have better network connectivity, you may experience weak or no signal in certain areas, particularly in mountainous and rural locations.

Notes on food in Ladakh (# things to know before going to ladakh)

Most of the food available in Ladakh is non-vegetarian. If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diets, it’s important to be prepared. At restaurants, you should communicate your needs to the restaurant staff. Ladakh may have limited options, but some restaurants are accommodating and can provide suitable alternatives.

ladakh tour youtube

You should eat or buy and pack food from wherever you pass with a store open because you won’t be able to find food vendors on your way to Ladakh. When you’re looking for a place to stay, you should see if they also serve food. Otherwise, you will have to go a long way to find food only.

ladakh tour youtube

You should also bring some canned food for use. When traveling to remote areas or during long journeys, it can be helpful to carry snacks like energy bars, nuts, or dried fruits to keep you fueled between meals.

ladakh tour youtube

What about local cuisine? It is advisable to explore the local Ladakhi cuisine to experience the unique flavors of the region. Try traditional dishes like thukpa, momos, skyu, and chutagi. These dishes are widely available in local restaurants and eateries. Don’t miss out on trying butter tea (gur-gur chai), a traditional Ladakhi beverage. It has a distinct taste and is an integral part of Ladakh’s culinary culture.

How to get to Ladakh? (# what you need to know before going to ladakh)

ladakh tour youtube

Another option is buses. However, bus service is limited in Ladakh, mainly operating between Leh and nearby towns. These buses are a budget-friendly option but may have limited schedules and can be crowded.

ladakh tour youtube

If you prefer to explore Ladakh at your own pace, renting a private car or a motorbike is an option for you. However, it’s important to note that driving in Ladakh can be challenging due to the mountainous terrain, narrow roads, and high altitudes. It is better to have prior experience in driving in such conditions.

ladakh tour youtube

If you prefer a hassle-free experience, you can opt for private tour operators who provide transportation services along with organized tours and itineraries. These operators can arrange vehicles, drivers, and guides based on your preferences and requirements.

ladakh tour youtube

If you want a unique and memorable way to explore the region’s desert landscapes, particularly in the Nubra Valley, take a camel safari – a ride on the back of a Bactrian camel led by experienced handlers or guides who are familiar with the region.

ladakh tour youtube

Camel safaris in Ladakh often include visits to small villages and monasteries along the way, providing opportunities to interact with the local people and learn about their way of life.

A complete guide to Ladakh Trip Plan – FAQs answered

Ladakh Travel Guide

Last Updated on: May 20, 2021  

Ladakh is no doubt a fascinating place. Anyone who has once visited Ladakh can never forget its landscape, its people and the eternal beauty hidden between those colourful layers of mountains. Of late, Ladakh has been hit by overtourism and it has definitely taken a toll on its fragile ecosystem. Even then, the place remains gorgeous and there are many who has not yet visited this wonderland. So here we share our Ladakh Travel Guide that will help you in Ladakh trip plan .

Ladakh roads - Ladakh trip plan

Ladakh Trip Plan

We have tried to answer most of the questions that we usually get about planning a Ladakh trip. We will try to update the information also with time.

When is the best time to visit Ladakh?

Now that you have decided to visit Ladakh, the first question that might come to your mind is that when to visit. Please keep in mind that Ladakh is a cold desert located in the trans-Himalayan region. The place remains cut off from the rest of the country by roads during the winter season.

Most of the tourism in Ladakh happens between the months of June to September. During this time, the roads to Ladakh remain open from both Manali and Leh side. In June, you might find a good amount of snow on the roads.

In short, mid-June to September is the best time as well as the season to visit Leh and Ladakh.

If you want to experience how the cold desert looks with a blanket of snow, then visit during the winter. But remember, the weather remains extremely cold during this time, often going down to subzero in the morning and as low as -25 degrees in the night.

Ladakh Trip Plan

How to Reach Leh, Ladakh?

The easiest way to enter Leh (it also takes the shortest time) is by taking a flight. There are regular flights from Leh to New Delhi. On a clear day, you can get magnificent views of the Himalayas from the flight. During the winter months, when the roads are closed, flights are the only option to reach Leh.

Flight to Leh Ladakh

The nearest railway head is Jammu. From Jammu, you can reach Srinagar and then travel onwards taking the Srinagar Leh Highway to Leh. The Indian Government has announced an ambitious project from Jammu to Leh. When it will happen, it is definitely going to be an engineering marvel just like the Darjeeling Himalayan Railways, Nilgiri Railways and Kalka-Shimla railways.

There are 2 routes to enter Leh by road.

Entering Leh by Srinagar-Leh Highway

Magnetic Hill Ladakh on Sinagar Leh Highway

The distance covered is almost 419 km in this route. The Srinagar Leh Highway connects the Valley of Kashmir to the trans-Himalayan region of Leh. The change in the landscape in this route is quite stark. From the green valleys of Kashmir, you will enter the rugged landscape of Ladakh. A stopover at Kargil or Drass is recommended. Infact, we would suggest you to stay at Kargil for a couple of days if you have time. There are a lot of things to do in Kargil itself.

Entering Leh by Manali-Leh Highway

Leh Manali Highway road conditions

The distance covered in this route is 473 km. The Manali Leh highway is full of adventure. The road crosses through rugged territory and wilderness very unlike the Srinagar Leh Highway. You have to cross 5 mountain passes and several water streams on your way. The Manali Leh Highway is one of the most exciting and visually stunning routes that you will come across in the country. A stopover is recommended in this route as well at Sarchu or Keylong.

Should I enter Leh by Srinagar side or Manali side?

We would suggest you to enter Leh from the Srinagar Leh Highway, as it helps to acclimatize better.

While returning take the Manali Leh Highway. Stop for the night at Sarchu so that your trip is well divided into 2 days and you can enjoy the beauty of the Manali Leh Highway.

How to move around in Ladakh?

Once you are in Leh, there are so many places to see in the city itself as well as around. The easiest way to move around in Ladakh is by hiring a car. If you are going with your family or a number of friends, then this is the best option.

Landscape at Srinagar Leh Road

You can also rent a bike and do sightseeing in Leh city and around. For long-distance journeys also, bike rentals are available. Infact, a lot of people travel to Ladakh from their hometown in a bike for an ultimate adventure. Ladakh is a bikers’ paradise where you can proudly ride your beast in full glory!

For those looking for budget options, there are no public bus services available in Ladakh for different destinations like Diskit in Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso, Tso-Moriri and others. However, these buses do not ply everyday. The buses are available only on certain days of the week and at a fixed time. So if you want to avail public transport, keep in mind about the bus schedule and timings.

You can also look for travel partners while you are in Leh. You will find that the travel shops in Leh put up notices for travellers wishing to join a certain trip. If you join such trips, then the cost of travel reduces to some extent.

Ladakh Travel Blog

Is there any permit required for Ladakh trip?

You do not require any permit to visit Leh and the places around it. But you will need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to visit the remote places in Ladakh like Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley Tso Moriri and others.

Places that do not require an ILP to visit

The ILp is issued from the DC Office at Leh which remains opened from 9 AM to 5 PM from Monday to Saturday. ILPs are issued between 10 AM and 3 PM. A self attested photocopy of a valid ID proof is required for obtaining the permit. You can either visit the DC Office yourself to get the permit or can get it done by any travel agent or your hotel.

The cost of the Inner Line Permit for Leh is divided into 3 parts – INR 400 per person for environment tax, INR 20 per person per day for wildlife protection fees and INR 20 per person per day towards Red Cross Society.

Both the highways that connect Leh to the rest of the country are full of surprises.

What are the places to see in Srinagar Leh Highway?

The best part of the Srinagar Leh Highway is that you get to see the transition in the landscape so well. From the lush green valleys of Kashmir, you enter the rugged terrains of Ladakh. Starting from Srinagar, you will pass through the beautiful Sonmarg. Zojila Pass is the next that you cross, followed by Drass, Kargil War Memorial and Kargil.

Next, you will encounter the giant Maitreya Buddha Statue at Mulbekh , Fotu La and Nakee La pass followed by Lamayuru Monastery, the moonland. Just as you are approaching Leh, there are many other places of attractions as well. The magnetic Hill, the confluence of Zanskar and Indus River at Nimmu, Gurudwara Patthar Sahib and the Alchi and Likir Monastery are located in Sham Valley and will fall on your way to Leh.

Sangam point of Indus and Zanskar River at Nimmu Leh Ladakh trip

We would recommend keeping a separate day for Sham Valley sightseeing. The rest you can visit while on your way to Leh from Srinagar.

What are the places to see on Manali Leh Highway?

Manali Leh Highway is known for the high altitude mountain passes, rugged landscape and the hairpin bends. You will encounter the Rohtang pass, Baralacha La Pass, Namik La and Tanglang La Pass . The beautiful Suraj Taal will also fall on the way.

Leh Manali Highway

This route is full of adventure crossing over water streams, taking the hairpin bends at Gata Loop or driving over the rough rocky terrain. This journey is going to be one of the most memorable ones. We are sure that you will not be bored even for a moment on this highway!

What are the places to see in Leh and around?

Leh is the district headquarters of Ladakh and its main town. It is a quaint town and has a very cosmopolitan vibe to it. The markets are quite colourful and full of life.

Handicrafts at Leh Local Market

At Leh, you can visit the Leh Palace, Hall of Fame, Sindhu Ghat, Leh local Market, Shankar Gompa and the magnificent Shanti Stupa . If you want to climb the Shanti Stupa, do it during the sunset or sunrise. You will get some amazing views from there.

Shanti Stupa Leh Ladakh

If you are interested in monasteries, then keep 1 day aside for visiting the Hemis Monastery, the largest one in Leh. The Hemis Festival is one of the major festivals around here visited by a number of people. Along with it, visit the Thiksey Monastery, Phyang, Spituk, Stakna Monastery, Shey Palace and Stok Palace .

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MONASTERIES OF LADAKH ?

Finally, another day should be lept aside for Sham Valley that includes Alchi Monastery, Likir Monastery, Basgo Palace, Magnetic Hills, Gurudwara Patthar Sahib and the confluence of Indus and Zanskar River at Nimmu .

Popular places beyond Leh

Pangong tso or pangong lake.

Pangong Lake

This is perhaps one of the most famous destinations in Ladakh. And also hit by overtourism the most. The place is beyond beautiful. We have no words to describe our feeling when we first saw the azure waters of the Pangong Tso from a distance. The time spent by the blue waters of the lake surrounded by the ochre mountains is simply magical.

The journey from Leh to Pangong Tso is about 170 km and you have to cross the Chang La Pass. You can do a day trip to Pangong Lake , but in that case, you will be able to visit upto Spangmik only. We would highly recommend you to stay for a night there.

Homestays are available in the villages around the lake. The luxury tents at the lake have been banned as of 2019.

If you have an extra day, then you can visit the villages of Man and Merak . But you have to mention this in your ILPs specifically.

Hemis Monastery Ladakh

The Hemis Monastery , Thiksey and Stakna Monastery and the Shey Palace will fall on the way to Pangong Lake from Leh. You can plan a visit to these places on your way to Pangong.

Nubra Valley

Double humped camel safari at Nubra Valley

Nubra Valley is situated to the north of Leh. The famous Khardung La Pass connects Nubra Valley to Leh. Nubra Valley is strikingly beautiful. A cold desert and the home of the double-humped Bactrian camels, Nubra Valley is a place of dreams. At night the sky lits up with thousand stars.

Diskit is around 120 km from Leh. We recommend minimum of 2 days at Nubra Valley if not 3. If you want to visit Turtuk, then 3 days are required. You can visit these places in the Nubra valley:

  • Diskit: Diskit Monastery is the largest and the oldest monastery in Nubra valley. Just opposite the monastery is a huge statue of Maitreya Buddha
  • Hunder: This is the home of the double humped Bactrian camels. The place is known for its sand dunes, camel safari and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes.
  • Turtuk: Further Hunder, the road goes to Turtuk, the last village of the Indian Territory and the base of Siachen glacier. Turtuk has a much different landscape than the Nubra Valley and you will get a close view of the Karakoram range.
  • Panamik: From Diskit, one road goes along the Shyok River to Sumur Village and further to Panamik. The place is known for hot springs.

Turtuk

Tso-Moriri Lake

Tso Moriri is located about 250 km from Leh and is a high altitude mountain lake in Ladakh. The landscape is simply breathtaking at Tso Moriri . Korzok is the base village for the lake.

The distance of 250 km means that you Tso Moriri cannot be covered on a day trip. The trip from Leh takes almost over 8 hours. Camping is not allowed beside the Tso Moriri Lake as it is a protected wetland. You can stay at the homestays in Korzok.

Tso Moriri Lake

While travelling to Tso Moriri from Leh, you can stop at the Upshi villages , hot springs at Chumthang and at Tso Kiagar , a lesser-known lake.

After visiting Tso Moriri Lake, you can either come back to Leh after visiting the Tso Kar Lake, or you can also take the route that connects the Leh Manali Highway. You can keep a visit to Tso Moriri at the end of your trip and can exit Ladak by this route. But this can be done only if you have your own vehicle at disposal or travelling by private taxi.

The Aryan Villages of Dah Hanu

This is said to be the villages of the Aryan tribe. The race is referred to as Drokpas or Dard. There is actually a cluster of 5 villages, and you can visit only Dah and Hanu village. Tall and fair-skinned with high cheekbones and light eyes are said to be the key features of the tribe. A trip to this village will be culturally enriching. Apart from the beautiful natural landscape and the interesting Brokpa culture, you will stumble upon ruins of history here and there in the village.

A permit is needed to visit Dah Hanu villages. From Leh, you can visit Dah crossing Nimmu and Khaltse. Public buses are available to Dah, but you need to check the timings. If you want to stay, there are a couple of homestays available too.

Alternative travel routes in Ladakh

Planning Ladakh Trip - Ladakh Road conditions

In the last few years, with the influx of more tourists, more routes have been opened for tourist traffic. These alternate routes mean you can travel directly from Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake or from Pangong to Tso Moriri without returning back to Leh. But do remember, that these routes, though operational are not among the priority routes. These routes pass through the remote regions and are often not in the best conditions. Traffic is also very low on these routes. So if you are taking any of these alternative routes, ask first about the conditions. Take a calculated risk while travelling on these roads. It is better if you could tag along with some other vehicles and move as a convoy. Even if you have planned to travel on these routes, be prepared that you might be stopped at any place. Often road conditions are not conducive and you will be not allowed to move in a particular way. So keep buffer days and be prepared to be flexible in your plans.

Is it possible to travel directly from Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso?

There are 2 routes from Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso:

The shorter route via Agham and Shyok village that directly reaches to Pangong Tso and takes around 5 hours time. However, the road conditions from Shyok village to Pangong Tso has some bad stretches and some landslide prone sections also. So it is better to inquire about the road conditions before starting off in this route.

Road to Turtuk

The second one is the longer route through the Wari La pass. It takes about 10 hours from Nubra Valley to reach Pangong Lake. This route takes you to the Chang La Pass that falls on the Leh to Pangong Tso route. Though this road is in better condition than the other, it remains quite desolate and thus has its own risk associated with it.

Is it possible to go directly from Pangong Tso to Tso Moriri?

Indians are allowed to travel directly from Pangong Lake to Tso Moriri. Foreign nationals are not yet allowed to travel beyond Man and Merak village checkpost.

You can take the route through Man – Merak – Chusul – Loma – Mahe – Sumdo to reach Tso Morir i.

You have to separate permit from DC Office in Leh to travel through this route. You have to visit the DC office in person to get this pass.

Travelling to Hanle

Hanle is a lesser-visited place in Ladakh, located 275 km from Leh. Hanle has a monastery located on a hilltop from where you can get panoramic views of the area. It also has the World’s highest observatory at a height of 4500 metres. The Hanle Observatory is operated by Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru and is currently the highest optical observatory in the world.

Hanle can be reached by two routes – one from Tso Moriri and the other from Pangong Tso. You can add an extra day to your Tso Moriri trip and visit Hanle.

You can also visit Hanle from Pangong Tso by taking the road from Man and Merak towards Hanle via Chushul.

Remember, that to visit Hanle, you need to visit the DC office at Leh in person. A special permit is required for travelling to Hanle.

If you want to visit Hanle, a probable itinerary can be: Leh – Pangong Tso – Man – Merak – Hanle – Karzok (Tso Moriri) – Leh

Fotu La pass - Ladakh road conditions

Is it possible to travel to Umling La pass?

Umling La Pass is the highest motorable mountain pass in the world at 19300 feet. Since May 2018, civilians are no longer allowed to travel to Umling La, due to its close proximity to the China border.

How many days are required for a Leh Ladakh trip?

The number of days you want to spend in Ladakh depends entirely on you. It also depends on the way you want to travel to and from Leh. We would recommend a minimum of 5 days in Ladakh excluding the days you need to get in and out of Ladakh. Once you decide on the number of days, plan your itinerary and also include the number of days to get in and out of Ladakh.

Do not rush to tick off the checklist here. Ladakh is to be experienced and you cannot do that if you rush. The distances are long through not very well maintained roads. The journey is going to be tough. Also, try to add a couple of buffer days to your itinerary .

Ladakh and Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) – how to deal with altitude sickness in Ladakh?

Leh is located at an altitude of over 11000 feet or 3500 m. altitude acclimatization is very important in order to travel in Ladakh. This means giving your body complete rest so as to let it get used to the reduced oxygen level there. Even if you have visited Ladakh before, it is important for you to get acclimatized and you will be knowing better!

  • It is advised to get 3 days of complete rest to get yourself acclimatized. Even if you are visiting for a short duration, you should keep one full day to acclimatize. Do not travel much during the day. It is better to stay inside your hotel or guesthouse for the day.
  • Do not climb the Shanti Stupa on the first day of your visit to Ladakh.
  • Keep yourself hydrated. You might not feel thirsty at the cold weather, but water intake is important to prevent AMS.
  • Refrain from having alcohol or smoking too much. Alcohol is your worst enemy at high altitudes.
  • Increase your altitude gradually. This is why it is better to enter Leh through the Srinagar Leh Highway and exit through Leh Manali Highway.
  • Take your time to do things. Avoid overexertion. Do not rush, do not hurry! In this way, you will not only help yourself, but also be able to appreciate the beauty of the place.
  • Avoid sleeping during the day.

Places to visit in Ladakh

Is mobile network available at Leh and Ladakh?

Only postpaid mobile connections work in Ladakh, as well as in entire Jammu & Kashmir. BSNL is by far the best network in terms of coverage followed by Airtel. You will get full connectivity in Leh city. With BSNL you will be connected at most of the places in Nubra Valley except Turtuk. Connectivity is negligible in Pangong Lake and you will get intermittent BSNL connectivity at Tso Moriri.

As for Airtel , you will get a full 4G connection in Leh city. At Nubra Valley you will get a connection at Hunder and Diskit, but not at Turtuk. There is no Airtel connectivity at Pangong and Tso Moriri Lake. You will remain connected at Kargil and Drass as well.

Your JIO phone will have 4G connectivity in Leh city and Kargil. You will get connectivity at Hunder and Diskit, but not at Tso Moriri and Pangong Lake.

Tips for Ladakh trip on a budget

Travelling to Ladakh is a bit costly. Over a few years, many travellers and tourists are visiting Ladakh and there are still a few budget travellers who want to enjoy Ladakh without pinching their pocket too much. A few tips for them:

  • Try to visit in the shoulder season in April/May or August/September.
  • If you are planning to travel by air, book your tickets in advance.
  • Do not pre-book your accommodation and taxis. Do on spot booking. You might get some good deals.
  • Travel and stay in groups. This will help you to share the transport cost.
  • Choose your accommodation and places to eat in a wise manner.
  • If you are travelling solo, you can join other solo and group travellers who are looking to  fill up their cars. The restaurants and shops in Leh usually put up notices like these. This is another way to reduce your travelling expenses.

Overtourism and Ladakh

Even though we have covered this at last, but this is the most important point . Of late, we have seen Ladakh has been affected by overtourism to a great extent. While this had caused a lot of problems for the locals, it has also hit the natural ecosystem. Pangong Lake, the place that we had all to ourselves when we visited Ladakh for the first time in August 2014, can now be seen full of people and vehicles. We definitely do not want people to stop visiting Ladakh, but we definitely want you to remember this while making your planning your Ladakh trip. A few things that you do might help lessen the impact on the environment. Travel with responsibility, because you have to leave the place as beautiful and grand for your future generation!

  • Respect the nature and environment. Do not litter, do not throw plastics and other garbage around. I keep iterating this time and again, so please bear with me.
  • Carry cleanliness drive wherever you go.
  • Please do not demand luxury here. Although Leh now has a number of luxury stays, but for places beyond Leh like, Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri, please do not demand such treatments. These places are best experienced close to nature without all the lavishness. Stay in eco-friendly accommodations wherever possible.
  • Do not waste water.
  • Carry a water bottle with you for refilling. Please shun the plastic bottled water.
  • Be sensible to the local people, culture and traditions.
  • Ask for permission before taking photographs.
  • Do not disturb the wildlife. On our way to Pangong Lake, we saw many going near the marmots and feeding them. While it seems fun apparently, but it is disturbing them and should not be done.
  • Drive responsibly and try to help others. If possible, consider sharing transport.
  • Listen to music, but keep the volume to yourself.
  • Try to benefit the local population in every way.

Loving your blog- you have gone to a great deal of effort, so thanks!

I was wondering if you could advise me a little?

I am fortunate enough to be flying solo into Leh early September until early October- I have 30 days including arrival and departure day. I have trekked/camped/hiked and travelled a lot on my annual leave breaks, prefer low key stuff, on a budget but will be able to cover the routes I really want to do. Not crazy on hostels, more homestay style with the very occasional mini modest splurge. Not a young woman anymore- > 50, but fit and strong and resilient.

I was thinking of going directly down to Likir/Uleytopko region (Uley eco place $$?/Likkir farmhouse $?) area to spend 3 nights acclimatising and easy day walks. Loosely I have come up with the following-

Day 1-4 Likkir/Uleytopko

Day 4- 8 Sham Valley homestay or camping trekking from Likir (inc Hemis monastery, etc), back to Leh

Day 8-10 Leh based

Day 10-17 Markha Valley trekking (inc Shey/Thiksey/Stakna Monasteries, etc) (or I could do a fixed departure group trek Rumtse-TsoMori that leaves a week later taking 11 days -this one takes in the first few days in Zinchen/Spituk/Rumbak/Stok La plus monasteries before starting in Rumtse- this would change up my order a bit obviously)

**Day 17- from here I have 12 days available to see other regions. My thoughts are Nubra/Pangong/Turtuk and Zanskar with acouple of rest days inbetween – what do you think? How would you put a 28 night trip together for good flow?

Love to hear from you if you have time- I have reached that info overload stage and as am going solo have no one really to discuss it with.

Thanks so mych again for your great blog! Gill

Is it safe to visit Ladakh during mid of October?

Yes, you can.

Agni and Amrita – Super blog, what i liked most is the simple narrative with the right amount of relevant information supported by pictures. Minute but very crucial details, so very important for travellers in the planning stage, is extremely invaluable and your post does just that.I am in the planning stage for a Sept Ladakh trip and a bit unclear on the subject of Pangong Tso Day trip.Let me explain my predicament : I don’t want to stay overnight in Pangong tso ( Not sure if we are allowed at all now ) due to the threat of AMS, sleeping at 4225 mtrs elevation ( This would be the penultimate day of a 15 day trip coming from Srinagar side. I would have been properly acclimatised, spending 1N in Sonmarg, 2N in Kargil, 2N in uleytopko,2N in leh, 3N in Nubra valley and yet i dont want to sleep @ 4225 mtrs Therefore, if i have to see Pangong, i am left with only a day trip option. I have the following questions : On google maps, if i put leh to Pangang tso, it shows 223 Kms ( 5 1/2 hrs ) and a point on the opposite side of Merak. Is this the point when we say Pangong lake?. Is viewing the lake near Spangmik not good? ( 156 kms – 4 hrs ). Assuming the answer is yes to this question How many hours of travel by Innova crysta from Leh to spangmik ? ( Difficult to believe Google ) Is the day trip doable ?. Is September 3rd week easy or difficult to cross Chang La ? Apologise for a lengthy request. Brevity was never my forte. Appreciate responses to my questions and any other advise on the day trip to Pangong tso. Thanks

Thank you for your kind words. Leh to Spangmik will take around 5-6 hours depending on the number of breaks you take. Also, if you wish to stop at Hemis, Thiksey and Shey Monastery on the road, then it will take more time. September 3rd week will be a good time to visit. I don’t think crossing the Chang La will be an issue. However, everything depends on the weather. We visited in July and there was quite a bit of snowfall at Khardung La (which is again not expected). Please keep reading our blog and encouraging us. Thank you, again!

Ladakhi people are celebrating its union territory status. Good time to visit. Ladakh will develop now more rapidly

Yes, true that is. It is a good time to visit Ladakh.

I have been to Ladakh many times and still want to go again! That is a very comprehensive guide you made. I really want to go to the Aryan Villages of Dah Hanu. Maybe someday! Places like Alchi monastery and Umling La pass have also been on my mind. I think people should travel responsibly in Ladakh. I have seen how it has become a victim of overtourism.

Thank you Abhinav! Hope Ladakh remains as beautiful in future also.

Wow thats one exhaustive blog on Ladakh i must say . I have read innumerable blogs on the same but yours covers the information so well. Ladakh is still due on my list and have to make it soon before ut becomes a prohibited zone.

Thank you Debjani!

Ladakh landscape is awesome! It looks like a hidden Indian gem! As the 4G is also available, I think it soon will be a popular destination.

Thank you so much. 4G is available only in the main towns.

Hey, this is such an in-depth guide with literally all the information anyone could ask for. To be honest, I didn’t even know where Ladakh was before I came across your blog post! But now I feel like this is definitely a place I would enjoy visiting – these mountains are just absolutely stunning!

Thank you Sarah! Ladakh is a trans-Himalayan region in India – a place for the ultimate adventure. Please do visit Ladakh, I am sure you will love the place.

Great guide for visiting Ladakh. I’ve heard about this Himalayan region, but didn’t realize it was so beautiful. I’d love to visit it someday, so I’ll bookmark your post for future reference. It contains a lot of useful information. Do you have to ask for permission when photographing people, or just about everything?

Thank you Anda! It is better to ask permission for photographing people. For landscape and monasteries, you do not need permission. But a lot of the places are near the international border. At these places and army camps, you are not allowed to take any photographs. Don’t worry, you will see notices of “no photography” at those places. Rest, all good. 🙂

If anyone is planning a trip to Ladakh, they need to read this post. So much useful information to help get the most out of the trip. I was particularly interested in the advice about altitude sickness.

Thank you Laura. Yes, Altitude Sickness is something that you have to keep in mind while visiting Ladakh.

This is an excellent guide to visiting Ladakh. I’d never heard of it before reading this, and I’d love to visit one day! The landscape is incredible, and I love the remoteness of it all. I’m certain I’d suffer from altitude sickness, so I appreciate you listing your tips here. It’s an amazing place and I’m adding it to the India list if I ever get to visit.

Thank you Lisa. Ladakh is truly amazing – a difficult place to visit, but once you are there, you will definitely fall in love with it!

Leh Ladakh - A Dream Ride!

Photo of A Complete Guide to Your Most Awaited Leh-Ladakh Bike Trip | Itinerary, Hotels, and More by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Want to explore more road trips that you can take in 2022? Head to this page to find your next favourite holiday!

If you are reading this very post, I see that Leh-Ladakh has been on your mind since quite some time now. I have compiled a comprehensive itinerary to the dream land Ladakh - The Land of High Passes.

This was originally posted on my blog Little Detours 👇

I am writing this post from a perspective of a rider, who has completed this circuit successfully. The itinerary starts from Manali and ends at Jammu. So, you could probably follow the same itinerary even if you are riding the Delhi - Manali - Leh - Jammu - Delhi circuit. The day's numbers would be according to Manali - Leh - Jammu circuit. Follow along.

Things to know before the trip: If you want to know about how to prepare yourself and your bike for this trip, please visit my another post Preparing for Leh Ladakh trip .

Ladakh trip is a journey in the higher altitudes. Higher altitudes also means rarity of oxygen. The oxygen level is less than compared to the regular sea levels. When you are moving from a lower region to higher altitude region, the body has a difficult time adjusting to this drop in oxygen levels. If you do not take precautions, it can lead to Acute Mountain Sickness aka AMS or some other serious symptoms. One way to keep AMS at bay is to keep yourself hydrated even if you don't feel thirsty.

Day 1: Arrival at Manali

This is day when you arrive in Manali. You are probably driving from Delhi or planning to ride from Manali itself. Since this drive is gonna be long enough it advised to have a rest day at Manali if riding from Delhi. Get your bikes checked for issues if any. Make sure you double check everything about your bike here, unless you have hired a mechanic for your trip, who will come along. Most importantly, get your permits ready!

Day 2: Manali to Keylong via ATAL Tunnel

With the opening of the Atal tunnel (aka Rohtang Tunnel) along the Leh-Manali highway, the time and distance between Manali and Keylong has been significantly reduced. The road which was once dreaded among bikers and travelers alike has just become a journey of fewer than 2 hours compared to over 6 hours before.

Atal tunnel, at a length of 9.02 km, it is the longest tunnel above 10,000 feet in the world and is named after former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The South Portal of the tunnel towards the Manali end is just 24 km away from Manali. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the North Portal of the tunnel and Keylong which just 37 km from this end, can be reached in just 60 minutes.

Although riding through the Atal tunnel at such a height is a feeling in itself, adventure seekers will miss out on the sceneries and the tough riding conditions but will save a lot of time. If you are taking the tunnel, you can even cover Day 3's journey today. If you don't want to take the tunnel, you can skip through to the next section

Should I take the Atal Tunnel?

1. If you are traveling with kids and aged people over 50-60, it's advised to take the tunnel, as the altitude gain will be minimal today.

2. If you are tight on the budget or number of days available, you can take the tunnel and save some time and a lot of fuel.

3. If you are an adventure rider, who wants to see what it takes to ride in the mountains, you shouldn't take the tunnel. Refer to the next section.

Start time: 8 AM. The earlier the better.

Altitude gain: 6,726 ft to 10,100ft

Highest altitude reached: 10,171 ft at Atal Tunnel

Prone to AMS? No. Drink lots of water though.

R oad conditions: At the time of writing, the roads are in pretty good condition. The Atal Tunnel is just amazing!

Fuel points: Fill up your tanks at Manali and make sure you carry at least one empty can of 5 liters minimum. The next fuel point is at Tandi (just before Keylong), which is the last fuel point until next 365 kms. Be sure to fill up your tank to the brim, and fill up the extra cans.

Accommodation at Keylong: There are many tents/ rooms available at Keylong.

(Alternate Route) Manali - Rohtang Pass - Keylong (120 kms - 8 hours)

First view of the snow clad mountains from Manali!

Photo of Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

If you are not taking the road via the Atal tunnel, you my friend are up for a challenge!

This is the first day of your ride. You would want to start early and ride rather slow today. This is the day you will sight the snow-capped mountains for the first time, while slowly gaining altitude. You will drive through the dense forests for the first part of your ride.

Highest altitude reached: 13,050 ft

Prone to AMS? Yes! The altitude gain is very rapid. It is advisable to take a doctor advised medicine like Diamox.

Road conditions: At the time of writing, the roads are pretty good till Rohtang La Pass. The road from Rohtang Pass to Koksar (50 kms before Keylong) is worse.

Day 3: Keylong - Jispa - Zing Zing Bar - Baralachla Pass - Sarchu (110 km - 8 hours)

Sunny Morning at Keylong!

Photo of Keylong, Himachal Pradesh, India by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

This is the most happening day of the trip. You would find everything from simple streams running across the roads to some deadly ones, to the turquoise blue waters of some of the most beautiful lakes like Deepak Tal and Suraj Tal.

Altitude gain: 10,100 ft to 14,070 ft

Highest altitude reached: 16,040 ft

Prone to AMS? Yes, very much. Consider taking a doctor-prescribed tablet (ex Diamox) before starting the journey and you are good to go. You can have another one after a gap of 4-6 hours as advised by your physician. As said before, consult a doctor about the usage of Diamox

Road conditions: Except for a few kms near Keylong, and near the streams, the roads are in good condition. Last few kms to Sarchu are pathetic. It's all mud and gravel.

Fuel points: No fuel points today!

Accommodation at Sarchu: There are many tents/camps available at Sarchu. You may book online or try to find one on the fly.

Day 4: Sarchu - Lachung La - Pang - Taglang La - Leh ( 265 kms - 10 hours)

Starry night at Sarchu!

Photo of Sarchu, Himachal Pradesh by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

The Day of High Passes. This is the longest you will ride on a single day during this journey. This ride is difficult. Although there is an overall drop in altitude from Sarchu to Leh, you would pass through some of the highest passes along ranging from 15,500 ft (at Nakeela Pass) to 17,500 ft (Taglangla Pass). The Gata loops and the Moore plains along the highway from Pang to Leh is the highlight for today.

Start time: 7 AM. Anything later than 8 AM is trouble.

Altitude drop: 14,070 ft to 11,480 ft

Highest altitude reached : 17,480 ft at Taglang La Pass

Prone to AMS? Yes! Strongly advised to take a doctor prescribed tablet (ex, Diamox)

Road conditions: The roads are decent till Nakeela Pass just after Gata Loops. From Nakeela Pass to Pang, the roads are pathetic. Do not take shortcuts to avoid the hairpins. You will find the best roads from Pang to Leh.

Fuel points: No fuel points until Leh.

Accommodation at Leh: Although there are plenty of Guesthouse and hotels in Leh, it's recommended to book early and find a good guest house which is near to the highway.

Day 5: Rest Day at Leh

Today is the rest day. After riding for 3 days non stop and covering close to 500km, both you and your bike needs rest. You would need to acclimatize for at least a day before you continue the onward journey.

You could as well use this day to get your permits ready and get your bike checked for any issues. If you find any issues, now is the time to fix it. You can explore the Market in the evening, and enjoy the lazy strolls around the streets of Leh.

Day 6: Leh - Hall of Fame - Magnetic Hills - Sangam (Confluence of Indus and Zanskar) - Thikse Monastery - Stakna Monastery - Leh

A beautiful confluence of two greatest rivers Indus (left) and Zanskar

Photo of Leh by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Enjoy a lazy ride in the city of Leh and visit some of the nearby monasteries and other places. You would witness some of the calm and serene regions of Ladakh when you visit these monasteries. If you are a shutterbug like me, ask no more! The mesmerizing calmness in the air makes you forget everything for a while.

Start time: 9-10 AM

Distance covered: ~ 60 - 70 kms

Altitude avg: 11,500 ft. Not much change in altitude today.

Fuel points: Easily available in the city. One of them is present at the junction of Srinagar and Manali highway.

Day 7: Leh - Khardung La - Nubra Valley (160 kms - 6 hours)

View of valleys and civilization on the way to Khardugla Pass!

Photo of Leh by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Khardung La was once deemed the Highest Motorable Road at 18,379 ft. There were lot of debates about the incorrect altitude measurement. Many reports proved that the altitude was actually 17,582 ft. However, with the new road to Umling La Pass at 19,300 ft built by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in November 2017, has put a rest to all the discussions about whether Khardung La was really the highest motorable road.

Nubra Valley is a beautiful valley along the Nubra river, which offers a picturesque view of the sand dunes at the valley.

Start time: 7 - 8 AM

Altitude drop: 11,480 ft to 10,000 ft

Highest altitude reached: 17,582 ft at Khardung La Pass

Prone to AMS? Yes! Consider taking a tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Most people take diamox.

Road conditions: The roads are decent till South Pullu checkpoint. The last 10 kms on either side of Khardung La pass will put and your bike to a treacherous test! Be sure to maintain balance, and ride at your own pace.

Fuel points: Only one fuel point near Diskit. Don't forget to fill up, and carry extra fuel!

Accommodation at Nubra: You could find tent houses easily at Nubra.

Nubra Valley

Day 8: nubra valley - pangong lake (200 km - 8 hours).

Pristine lake - Pangong Tso! Courtesy : wikipedia.org

Photo of Nubra Valley by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Pangong Tso - Tso meaning Lake, has gained a lot of popularity after the ending sequence of the Bollywood movie 3 Idiots. Since then, the place has seen more travelers and tourists than ever. Nonetheless, the place is a must visit if you are in Leh!

The blue turquoise waters of the lake against the mighty mountains in the backdrop is a sight you would cherish forever!

Start time: 7 AM

Altitude gain: 10,00 ft to 13,940 ft

Highest altitude reached: 13,940 ft at Pangong Lake

Prone to AMS? Not really!! But don't take chances. Drink lots of water

Road conditions: The road conditions have improved over the last couple of years. The road which was once a dreaded one has got a tarring now.

Fuel points: No fuel points until Leh via Pangong. Carry extra fuel. Diskit has the last fuel point.

Accommodation at Pangong Tso: Since this place receives a lot of visitors in any season, its best to book a hotel/tent in advance.

Pangong Lake

Day 9: pangong lake - chang la pass - leh ( 180 kms - 7 hours ).

Towards Changla Pass on a snowy day!

Photo of Pangong Lake by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

The next day, go out and click some pictures. If you are photography buff, then you better start clicking early. Leaving Pangong lake early is a good idea, especially if you are visiting during the peak time.

Start time: Not later than 9AM

Altitude gain: 13,940 ft to 11,480 ft

Highest altitude reached: 17,590 ft at Chang La Pass

Prone to AMS? By now, you should be acclimatized already. In any case, it's better to take precautions

Road conditions: The road from Pangong is good for about 10-15 kms, after which the condition deteriorates. The road near Chang La pass is pathetic, and there will be streams near Chang La. Again, after Chang La, the roads are better near Sakti village.

Fuel points: No fuel points until Leh

Accommodation at Leh: There are plenty of hotels and homestays at Leh. If you do not want to spend any time looking for a stay, book online.

Day 10: Leh - Kargil - Dras (280 kms - 8 hours)

First views of Kargil

Photo of Leh by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Today you would witness the best views of this entire trip! Be prepared to be blown away by the picturesque landscapes and views! Also, the War Memorial at Dras simply cannot be missed.

Altitude drop: 11,480 ft ft to 10,830 ft

Prone to AMS? No

Road conditions: The road from Leh is in absolutely top condition, except for a couple of rough patches near Kargil

Fuel points: Fuel point are available in Leh city, just the city limits of Leh on the way to Kargil. The fuel points are also available at Kargil.

Accommodation at Kargil/Dras: There are a decent amount of hotels and homestays at Kargil/Dras. If you do not want to spend any time looking for a stay, book online.

Day 11: Dras - Sonamarg - Srinagar (140 kms - 5 hours)

A Jawan stands guard at the Vijay Sthamba at War Memorial, Dras

Photo of Dras by Kiran Kumnoor (Little Detours)

Get ready to be blown away by the beauty that is called Jannat meaning Heaven, another name for Kashmir! Beautiful fields, valleys, and mountains! Also, today you will cross the dreaded Zojila Pass. Since you reach Srinagar in the afternoon, you can book a boat house and enjoy a beautiful evening on the boats at Dal Lake.

Start time: 8 AM

Altitude drop: 10,830 ft to 5300 ft

Highest altitude reached: 11,650 ft at Zojila Pass

Road conditions: The road from Dras to the start of Zojila Pass is pathetic, (unless its repaired recently). The road condition improves only after descending a bit from the Zojila Pass

Fuel points: Fuel point are available just a few kilometers ride from Sonamarg on the way to Srinagar. Fuel points also available at Srinagar.

Accommodation: Stay at a boathouse near Dal Lake. Enjoy the beautiful sunset vibes at Dal Lake!

12. Srinagar - Jammu (267 kms - 9 hours)

The last day of the trip is here! Based on your further plans, the ride may continue. Today can be a tiring day if you don't start on time. You would witness some winding, seemingly endless roads around the mountains. Also, its time to experience few of the longest tunnels in India!

Start time: 5 AM (To beat traffic, and also to avoid night ride)

Road conditions: The road is excellent, only for a few rough patches.

Fuel points: Apart from Srinagar and Jammu, you can get fuel near Udhampur. Better to have enough fuel filled at Srinagar.

Pro Tip: Skip Patnitop, and take the Chenani Nashri Tunnel towards Jammu, which saves a couple of hours and lot of fuel.

Accommodation: Plenty of hotels available at Jammu. Book on the fly based on your plan.

Just visited Leh Ladakh, and it was an amazing experience. We visited Shey Palace, Khardung La, Nubra Valley, and the best part was camping near Pangong Lake. We did a camel safari at Hunder.

In The Land Of Lama - The Great Ladakh Tour Tour

In The Land Of Lama - The Great Ladakh Tour

MTA was a phenomenal company, and saw to my every request. As I traveled privately during a surge in the pandemic, there was added stress related with social distancing and testing, but MTA assisted me with finding test sites, transportation, and safe mask expectations. I wanted to visit several northern India sites within a short two week span, but they customized the trip for me in a manner that was action-packed, but not exhausting. The guides and drivers were knowledgeable and professional, and even allowed for me to explore some city sites on my own during free time. My process from start to finish was fluid and exceptional. Yes, I paid a chunk for this trip, but it was worth every rupee. I left feeling completely satisfied with my experiences, and MTA helped make it the trip of a lifetime.

Land of the Lamas Tour

Land of the Lamas

Namaste!!! I would like to thank you and your company for the excellently organized tour “Land of Lamas”. Your constant attention to us throughout the trip justifies the name “TourRADAR”. I would like to say a special thank you for visiting the Akshardham Temple in New Delhi and the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort in Agra, which were not included in the program. Your guides deserve special attention. I would like to note their attentiveness, care and erudition. Thank you very much again. This trip will remain in our memory for the rest of our lives and will strengthen our former love for India (Bharat), its culture and history. Sincerely, Alexander

Leh Ladakh Tour - 8 Days

I really enjoyed my tour. This is a very remote area with unique culture and nature. I 've been there at the beginning of April before the tourist season starts, so I enjoyed the absence of crowds. However, nights were very cold, some hotels did not have heating, so hot bottles were my best friends. During the day the weather were beautiful, sunny. I enjoyed snow on the passes we crossed. My guide and driver were excellent. People we met at the hotels demonstrated wonderful hospitality. The tour company that organized this travel experience was very good, professional and responded to all my requests. I was feeling so happy during this trip, in peace with nature and the world ????

Mystic Ladakh- A Cultural Tour

Amazing tour! We are family of four, with 2 daughters (8 and 5 years old), who dared to go to Leh in December. We had a great time and learned a lot from our guide Lotus. He was very knowledgeable and always passionate to share and discuss about everything we asked (and with our girls there were a lot of questions). We were lucky with weather, as it was always sunny and not that cold during the day. We really liked our hotel (The Grand Dragon Ladakh) with great food and really nice cozy rooms. We highly recommend this tour!

Reviews of leh & ladakh tours.

Had the most amazing time traveling Kashmir & ladakh. Enjoyed every minute of the tour.Our tour guide was fantastic. Showed us all the amazing spots.We would definitely recommend Swastik India to anyone looking to travel to Kashmir & Ladakh.
Very well planned and organised tour. It's been a journey we will remember for a long time.
The visits in Leh and to Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake were fantastic. The guide and driver were professional and the guide had good knowledge. I was very disappointed in two things, one the Ladakh Imperial hotel, rooms were good but the service was poor. The second thing was having to cross Changla Pass twice, the road is very very poor and it would have been possible to travel to Pandong from the Nubra valley on good roads, crossing the Changla pass only once.

  • You have a flexible itinerary and can go wherever you want to. Even if your heart desires to camp at Pangong Lake for the whole week, you are free to follow it!  
  • It will cost a lot less if you are traveling alone than if you are going in a group. 
  • It is necessary that you have complete control and knowledge of your bike. This happens only if you are riding on your own vehicle. You know exactly how much brake is essential to stop at gravel. With tour groups, you will have to get familiar with a new vehicle and it might take time and also be risky. 
  • If you are a rider of some sort, you always know that your loved vehicle deserves a ride through Ladakh. That is reason enough! 
  • Though people are friendly in Ladakh and there is far less security issue than any other part of the country, the problem is people are very few too. You can well be stranded and not get noticed till days.
  • Secondly, it could be quite of a struggle figuring out routes, lodging and bargains if you are traveling alone. Focusing on the road gives you less opportunity to follow the map rightly. There is ample chance that you miss an important turn. Click Here to Book:   Ladakh Packages from Mumbai
