The best time to visit Leh Ladakh is from May to September when the weather is pleasant and all roads/passes are open. June-August offers the warmest temperatures (15-25°C during day). Winters (October-April) are extremely cold with temperatures dropping to -30°C and many areas inaccessible.
Leh is accessible by air (Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport) with flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and other major cities. Road options include the Manali-Leh Highway (open June-September) and Srinagar-Leh Highway (open May-October). We recommend flying into Leh for better acclimatization.
Altitude sickness is a real concern in Ladakh. Our itineraries include proper acclimatization days. We provide oxygen cylinders in vehicles and recommend drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol, and taking it easy for the first 48 hours. Those with heart/lung conditions should consult doctors before traveling.
Essential items include warm clothing (even in summer), sunglasses, sunscreen (SPF 50+), lip balm, comfortable walking shoes, medications, power bank (for limited electricity), and camera gear. Layered clothing is recommended as temperatures vary greatly between day and night.
Yes, but we recommend it for children above 8 years due to the high altitude. We can customize itineraries with more rest days and lower altitude stays. Proper acclimatization is crucial for children. Consult with our travel experts for family-friendly options.
