Generally,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ travellers are first interested in finding out the most convenient way of getting to Leh Ladakh and whether it is better to take a flight or a road trip. Flying is the best way since it is the fastest and most comfortable. One can find direct flights from Delhi and seasonal or connecting flights from cities like Mumbai and other metros. The view from the airplane is very beautiful: you can see snow and winding valleys while flying over heaps of rugged peaks. A direct flight to Leh and then a tour of Ladakh by car is commonly the best option for people with time constraints or those travelling with a family, kids, or seniors. The other one is the legendary road trip which most people imagine. Two main highways lead from Leh to the rest of India: the Srinagar- Leh Highway through Kashmir and Kargil, and the Manali- Leh Highway over the high passes of Himachal. The distance of the Srinagar–Leh route is approximately 430-440 kilometres and it slowly takes you to a higher altitude, whereas the Manali Leh route is somewhat longer in terms of actual travel distance and goes over several dramatic passes and desolate stretches that give you the feeling of being on another planet. These roads are not available all year round. Generally, they are opened at the end of May or the beginning of June, when the snow melts, and closed again towards October or early November, when winter arrives, and heavy snow makes it unsafe or impossible to drive. Lots of travellers prefer using both means, e.g., going to Leh by road and then flying back, or coming from Srinagar and going to Manali to complete a full Himalayan circuit.

A permit is one of the most common reasons for misunderstanding when going on the Leh Ladakh Tour Package. It is important to distinguish between Leh town and the surrounding areas. Staying in Leh and visiting some open areas nearby is free of any additional permit requirements for Indian tourists. But to go to some restricted or sensitive areas next to the borders, like Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tso Moriri, Khardung La, and some other inner areas, Indian citizens need an Inner Line Permit (ILP). This paper gives permission to travel for a certain time and direction and is verified at different points along the road. Foreign tourists need a Protected Area Permit (PAP) as a similar document, which is given under a different set of rules and is necessary together with a valid passport and Indian visa for the border proximity regions. Getting ILP and PAP has been simplified recently. Most travellers may do so by visiting the official Leh district or Ladakh administration websites, where they sign up, pick their routes, indicate dates, and pay the fees online. The rest support local travel agents, hotels, and taxi unions in Leh who are experts in handling permits and can do it for you with a small service charge. You may also still come to the Deputy Commissioner’s Office in Leh for permit issuance or validation, depending on the current system. Be aware that permit regulations and which areas are accessible or not may vary due to security, weather, or other reasons. Due to that, it is always better to confirm the newest rules and talk to a trustworthy local operator shortly before your trip, and then have your permit copies ready for showing at the checkpoints without the need to wait in long lines.

A solo Leh-Ladakh Tour Package is definitely a dream come true. But it is becoming a very nice place for families, if the altitude is taken into consideration and the planning is done properly. What can be more fascinating for both adults and children than valleys so deep, monasteries decorated with prayer flags, blue lakes, and night skies full of stars? Families usually find that a trip to Leh Ladakh leaves them with lots of shared memories because the setting is so spectacular and the culture so unique. However, it is not a typical hill-station holiday. Leh is located at a height of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, and many places, such as Khardung La or Pangong Lake, which you might want to visit, are at even higher altitudes where the air is thinner, and the body requires some time for acclimatization. Altitude acclimatization is the most important factor for a family trip. Special attention should be paid to children, elderly travellers, and anyone with existing heart, lung, or blood pressure conditions. Doctors and travel experts agree that the first day in Leh should be taken very easily: rest at the hotel, drink water, keep away from running or climbing, and, above all, observe how everyone feels.

When​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ people are planning a trip, they are very quick to ask the question about the number of days that would be sufficient to spend in Leh Ladakh to have a satisfying experience without feeling rushed. In fact, one can come flying in and do a scant four or five days off with a handful of places. However, such a fast-paced itinerary hardly allows for acclimatization of the body to altitude and is, therefore, often associated with some sort of discomfort or tiredness. A reasonable amount of time for a first visit is a week to ten days, excluding commutes by train or days reserved for travelling from other parts of India. It is possible to tour Leh, Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, a monastery circuit, and do some local activities within this period of time without constantly feeling pressed for time. Usually, the first day is set aside for pure arrival and rest, where only minimal physical movement is allowed. Day two can be spent sightseeing in Leh, along with visiting a few places nearby, such as monasteries, viewpoints, or the Hall of Fame museum, and taking in everything at a leisurely pace. Depending on how everyone is feeling in the group, one can proceed to Nubra Valley, stay for a night or two, and then either go to Pangong Lake straight from Nubra or come back to Leh first and then go there. A seven-to-nine-day itinerary allows you to accomplish this circuit without being overexerted. A ten-day or longer itinerary leaves you some extra time to take care of weather-related delays, low-energy days, or spending some extra time at a place you like very ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌much.

It​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ is quite natural to be concerned about safety when you come across pictures of lonely roads and twisty passes, but Leh Ladakh is mostly safe for tourists. The area is frequented by both Indian and foreign tourists, and since tourism is a major source of income for the locals, people are accustomed to welcoming travellers and are usually friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in Leh is quite cheerful and lively, with guesthouses, small hotels, restaurants, cafes, and shops all catering to the needs of visitors. The security provided by the Indian Army and other forces, who are present almost everywhere in Ladakh and are thus visible to the tourists, is also a kind of comfort to many travellers. They not only maintain order but also facilitate road connectivity in such an isolated ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌area.

Packing​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ for a trip to Leh Ladakh means being prepared for a place where you can have a sunny afternoon, an icy wind, and a cold night all in the same day. Even during the main travel season, it can be quite cold in the mornings and evenings, especially near lakes and high passes, while in winter or late autumn, the cold can be really harsh. The most sensible way is to bring layered clothes so that you can put on or take off depending on the time of day and what you are doing. A lot of people wear thermal inners, normal T-shirts or shirts, one or two warm fleeces or sweaters, and a windproof and waterproof jacket which can protect against sudden gusts or a little rain. Warm socks, a woollen cap or beanie, and gloves are very simple things, but they make a great difference in your comfort during the first hours of the day and ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌night.

In Leh town, you can locate a few ATMs of various banks, and on regular days, they are in good working condition. Nevertheless, on peak travel days or weekends, machines may run out of cash or temporarily go offline, and people waiting in lines are usually there. Therefore, the majority of seasoned travellers recommend that you take out enough cash beforehand, either from your home city or a bigger city, before coming to Leh, instead of relying entirely on local ATMs after your ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌arrival. Generally​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ speaking, postpaid SIMs of some big providers are more reliable in Ladakh as compared to prepaid SIMs that are purchased outside the region, since there are some limitations imposed by the authorities on certain border areas for some prepaid connections. Also, it is good to confirm with your carrier before going and inform the family that you may be out of the network for a long time. When you have that understanding, you can calm down and tune into the slower, more present vibe that a semi-offline trip usually ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌has.

A​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ bike ride to Leh Ladakh is among the top desires of most riders, and the picture of bikes winding through mountain roads has almost become an icon of the area. Bikers mainly rely on two routes that connect them to Srinagar and Manali- via highways to Leh. Also, there are a lot of motorcyclists who design a route that involves both these roads, thereby going on one and coming out by the other. Definitely, it is exciting to pass through such high-altitude terrains, rivers, and mountain passes, but on the other hand, it is hard, and you have to show your respect to nature and your own limitations.​ Besides, the bike should be capable of such a task. Most motorcyclists opt for a bike that has an engine of approximately 350-400 cc or above so that the bike can deal with the steep uphill, bad roads, luggage, and sometimes a passenger without a continuous struggle. Before the trip, a thorough service is highly recommended. Among other things, brakes, clutch, tyres, lights, and suspension should be in good working order. Also, some motorcyclists would like to have minor spare parts together with them, e.g., tubes or puncture kits, cables, spark plugs, and required tools, because there are few mechanics and workshops on the route. At the same time, proper protective gear is of utmost ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌importance.

Sure,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ creating a personalized Leh Ladakh tour is not only allowed but it is usually the right way to ensure that your trip is a reflection of your interests, your level of comfort, and your budget. Different travellers will expect very different things from Ladakh. A few may become fixated on photography and intend to photograph the sunrise and the sunset at certain locations. While others may be coming with children or older parents, and consequently need more sleep and fewer driving days. Perhaps, couples would choose a romantic, scenic focus with comfortable stay,s whereas backpackers and solo travellers might be content with a basic accommodation in return for more days on the road. The majority of the good operators have now realized this and are offering fully or partially customizable Leh Ladakh ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌itineraries.
