Prior to reaching Leh, you need to take advise of your doctor for medicines for High Altitude Sickness. In Leh stayed at Zion Ladakh which has good rooms an food. Visited various stupa, temples, confluence of Zanskar river and Indus river, visited world highest motorable road - Khardungla pass and visited Nubra Valley. Stayed in Nubra Sarai tents. Yet to visit Pangong lake where Indian movie 3 idiots (Amir Khan) was shot. Road to Nubra about 30 kms is in very bad condition as the same is being made wide for two vehicles to ply. It is informed that part of the road to Pangong is also bad.

Leh has a lot of heart and character, and while gaining more tourists in the past few years due to better roads, infrastructure development and growth of the hospitality sector, it has numerous under- and unexplored aspects, that are the providence of the curious, the explorer, the consummate traveller. In the summer months, there is a lot of hustle bustle, so make accommodation preparations in advance - hotel/hostel/tents/camping gear, etc. There are several shops for adventurists since the Army also collects its gear and supplies from Leh. Make sure to pay your respects to our soldiers and the Border Roads Organisation which develops and manages all the roads which will be your lifeline. The locals and the workers recruited here operate under harsh conditions, so be kind and tip however much you can. Do not take anything for granted. Purchase and wear local, especially caps, socks and gloves, since the extremities cannot be layered. Leh has stunning vistas, do not litter and respect the laws of the place. one of the most remarkable and heartwarming things in the heart of Leh, is the old Leh city, which can be explored by getting lost through meandering alleyways, nestled between young, snow covered Himalayan mountains, and the confluence of different faiths - mosque, church, gompa, temple all within 200 metres of each other, all with different sounds, jingles and jangles emanating at different times of the day.

Leh is a beautiful Himalayan town and capital of Ladakh. We arrived in Leh by driving from Srinagar so that we get used to of the high altitude in a gradual manner. We stayed for a night each in Srinagar, Sonmarg, Kargil and then finally reached to Leh. We spent two days in Leh for further acclimatization and during these two days visited Shanti Stupa, Hall of Fame, Leh Main Bazaar and a short bike ride towards Khardung La. We resumed our further jounrey towards Nubra Valley and Pangyong Lake on 3rd day. Overall it was great fun full of beautiful landscape and some pleasant music during the road journeys.

FIRST THINGS FIRST - ALTITUDE SICKNESS IS REAL and after landing or arriving into Leh it is advised to stay put in your room for atleast 2 day to acclimate. Take tabs if you need to for the throbbing headache. You can buy these tabs for altitude sickness before leaving for Leh or any medical store in leh. Leh city itself doesn't have much to do except to see the Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa. For adrenaline fun and adventure, take a trip to Hunder/Disket passing mountains and valleys to see Nubra Valley/River and camel riding in the sand dunes in Hunder and then to see Pangong Lake. If you book a taxi from a tour service it'll be Rs19000 for a 2 day trip for 4pple including a camping stay overnight and youd be lucky to find a sharing cab if you're a solo traveller and pay 19000÷4. Tough luck as it gets filled by couples and they prefer sharing for couples. What I did was take a local bus to Disket for Rs230, stayed the night there for Rs1000 in a nice room and did some sightseeing and next day took a helicopter ride back to Leh for just Rs4600! That was a better deal than a sharing taxi but I missed seeing Pangong Lake which I had seen from above anyway when I flew in to Leh 🙂 OUT SIDE SIM CARDS DONT WORK IN LADAKH, JAMMU AND KASHMIR UNLESS YOU HAVE AIRTEL OR JIO POSTPAID. THERE'S NO VODAFONE HERE. But all hotels and cafes have free wifi and you can even Hotspot from a local if you're stranded and need to 🙂
