Places to visit in Ladakh
These are the places Ladakh trips are built from. Each trip page lists exactly which of them it covers, and a private trip can swap one for another.
- Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa: The old royal palace above the bazaar and the white stupa across the valley, the easy first-day sights while you acclimatise.
- Thiksey and Hemis monasteries: Thiksey's hilltop gompa for the morning prayers, and Hemis, the largest in Ladakh, home of the summer Hemis festival.
- Khardung La: The high pass on the road from Leh to Nubra; a photo stop only, because the altitude is not a place to linger.
- Nubra Valley: Diskit monastery and its giant Maitreya Buddha, and the sand dunes at Hunder with the double-humped Bactrian camels.
- Turtuk: The Balti village at the far end of the Shyok valley, among apricot orchards, opened to travellers in 2010.
- Pangong Tso: The long high-altitude lake over the Chang La pass, changing colour through the day; most trips spend a night in the camps on its shore.
- Tso Moriri: The remote lake in the Changthang plateau with the village of Korzok on its shore, for the longer trips.
- Hanle and Umling La: The observatory and dark-sky village of Hanle, and the Umling La road beyond it, on the grand-circuit and bike expeditions.
- Magnetic Hill, Pathar Sahib and the Sangam: The Srinagar road stops: the hill where cars seem to roll uphill, the gurudwara, and the meeting of the Indus and Zanskar rivers.
- Lamayuru and Alchi: The moonland landscape around Lamayuru monastery and the thousand-year-old murals at Alchi, on the way to or from Srinagar.
A 7 day Ladakh trip, day by day
A private trip runs the same plan at your own pace; a group departure follows it to the minute.
- Day 1: fly into Leh and rest; the altitude needs the first day off.
- Day 2: an easy day in Leh: Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace and the bazaar.
- Day 3: the Srinagar road: Hall of Fame, Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill and the Indus–Zanskar Sangam, or Thiksey and Hemis monasteries.
- Day 4: over Khardung La to the Nubra Valley: Diskit monastery and the Hunder dunes.
- Day 5: Turtuk village, or across the Shyok road to Pangong Tso for sunset and a night by the lake.
- Day 6: Pangong at sunrise, then back to Leh over the Chang La pass.
- Day 7: the flight home from Leh.
Ladakh trip cost and what the price covers
Ladakh packages start at ₹15,500 per person: ₹15,500 for 7 days. That covers the stays, the local travel, the sightseeing and activities each trip page lists; the journey from your city is quoted with the trip so you can pick the train, bus or flight.
What moves the price is the season, the stay category, whether the trip flies into Leh or drives in, and the group size. June to August is the dearest time for flights and hotels in Leh; a group bike expedition prices the bike, fuel and support into the seat, while a private trip prices the car and the rooms for your group. The flight to Leh, the green fee and anything not named on the trip page stay out of the fare, so the number you see is the number you pay.
Ladakh bike trip packages
The fixed-date bike expeditions ride out of Leh over Khardung La to Nubra and Pangong, and the longer ones to Umling La, Zanskar or from Manali to Srinagar, with a trip captain; each trip page lists the bike, the fuel and the support included.
1 trip on this page, from ₹15,500 per person: 7 Days Ladakh Bike Expedition with Turtuk (7D/6N, from ₹15,500).
Leh, Nubra and Pangong packages

Ladakh for friends, couples and families

Best time to visit Ladakh and how to reach
Best time
June to September is the season, when every road and circuit is open and the bike expeditions run; June and July are the busiest, September is calmer. April, May and October are cold shoulder months flown into Leh, and November to March is winter, for frozen lakes and serious cold.
- April to May, 0 to 20°C: The shoulder season: Leh warms up and flights are the way in; the high roads and passes open through May and June as they are cleared.
- June to September, 10 to 25°C: The season: every road and circuit open, Pangong blue, the Hemis festival in June or July and the bike expeditions running. June and July are the busiest; September is calmer.
- October, -5 to 15°C: Crisp, golden and quiet; nights turn freezing and the Manali road closes with the first heavy snow.
- November to March, -20 to 5°C: Winter Ladakh: flights only, frozen lakes and serious cold, for travellers who come for the snow and the silence.
What to pack
Layers for every month: thermals, a fleece, a down or padded jacket and a woollen cap, because Pangong and Nubra drop close to freezing at night even in July. Sunglasses with UV protection, SPF 50, lip balm and a scarf for the dust on the passes; sturdy shoes; a refillable bottle for the two to three litres of water a day the altitude needs; and any altitude medicine only on your doctor's advice.
Getting there
From Hyderabad, fly to Leh; most itineraries connect through Delhi, which has the most flights into Leh. The bike expeditions and most private trips start at Leh airport, and the Zanskar and Manali–Leh–Srinagar trips start in Delhi. Plan the first two days in Leh as rest, since flying straight to 3,500 m needs the time.
From Bengaluru, fly to Leh, usually connecting through Delhi. Trips start at Leh airport, or in Delhi for the overland Zanskar and Manali–Leh–Srinagar routes, and keep the first two days easy for the altitude.
From Chennai, fly to Leh through Delhi. Most trips start at Leh airport with two easy days before the high passes; the overland trips start in Delhi and reach Leh by the Manali or Srinagar road in the warmer months.
Permits and fees
Indian citizens do not need an Inner Line Permit for Ladakh; the Leh council's permit portal says it applies only to foreign tourists. Visitors pay the council's environment (green) fee of ₹400 per person online at lahdclehpermit.in before heading to the Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri or Hanle circuits, and the checkposts ask for the slip and a photo ID. On our trips the planner registers the group and pays it with your ID details. Foreign nationals need a permit as well; tell the planner before booking.
Ladakh or Spiti Valley?
Ladakh or Spiti Valley?
Ladakh is the bigger trip: flights into Leh, more hotels, and the famous names — Pangong, Nubra's dunes, Khardung La, Tso Moriri. Spiti is quieter and rawer, reached only by road through Kinnaur or from Manali, with homestays and far fewer travellers. Ladakh suits a first Himalayan trip and anyone short of time; Spiti suits travellers who want the road and the villages more than the sights.
