Ladakh

Ladakh is a high-altitude desert landscape centred on Leh, with stark mountain scenery, Buddhist monasteries perched on rocky outcrops, and turquoise high-altitude lakes at Pangong and Nubra Valley that feel genuinely otherworldly.

This is the most demanding region on our roster in practical terms: altitude here regularly exceeds 3,500m, so itineraries need built-in acclimatisation days and a longer lead time to plan properly and safely.

Highlights

  • Leh's old town and hilltop palace
  • High-altitude lakes at Pangong Tso and Nubra Valley
  • Buddhist monasteries including Thiksey and Hemis
  • Genuinely dramatic high-desert mountain scenery

Best Time to Visit

June to September, when the high mountain passes are open; the region is largely inaccessible by road in winter.

Getting There

Most itineraries fly into Leh directly from Delhi, followed by mandatory acclimatisation days before any onward travel.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Ladakh need acclimatisation days?

Leh sits above 3,500m, and altitude sickness is a real risk without a gradual adjustment — we build in rest days before any strenuous activity or higher-altitude excursions.
