Leh Ladakh

About Leh Ladakh

Leh sits at about 3,500 m, and everything about a trip here follows from that: you arrive, you rest, and only then do you climb higher. What you get in return is a landscape that does not look like anywhere else in India — the Indus valley between bare brown mountains, monasteries on crags at Thiksey and Hemis, the Nubra dunes beyond Khardung La, and Pangong lake changing colour through the day.

Best time to visit
✓ September is a great time to go
May to September, when the passes and roads are open. Winter is extreme, roads close and only flights operate, so it suits experienced travellers.
How to reach
Leh has daily flights from Delhi. The Manali and Srinagar road routes are open only in summer and take two days each, with a night's halt for altitude.
