SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOURISTS VISITING LADAKH
Ladakh is a very safe, tourist-friendly and cheering place, but still, you need to take care of some preparations which can make your tour even better and memorable:
– Only post-paid mobile phones work in Leh-Ladakh, preferably BSNL, Airtel and Jio. As phones may not work in many places, keep your family members informed well in advance not to worry if they fail to contact you.
– You would hardly find any cellular network in most of the areas in Leh. BSNL works better here, however, you would find Airtel and Jio signals also at some places (Leh, Hunder and Diskit).
– Don’t expect high-speed internet in Ladakh.
– Keep ready a pair of woollen (not heavy) with you as temperature may dip as low as 5 degrees any time even during summer months.
– Carry good Sun Screen lotion, sunglasses (goggles), cap with you to avoid sunburn as sun rays are direct and can burn your skin.
– Don’t forget to carry photo id with you. Driving License, Passport, Voter Cards, and Aadhaar are valid photo IDs.
– While travelling on the mountains, keep drinking water and eating healthy food and fruits to avoid high altitude sickness and dizziness due to curvy roads, low air pressure and dry air.
– Carry headache, stomachache, anti-vomiting tablets with you.
– You may consume diamox at least 7-8 hours before arrival at Leh (preferably before falling asleep) and may also take before boarding plane to Leh. The medicine is optional. Having rest and drinking enough water for some hours after reaching Leh is advised.
– Leh has some ATM machines where you can withdraw cash. These machines witness long queues of customers during peak season and run out of cash many times. Non-connectivity is another issue. So carrying enough cash is advisable.
– Please respect the Buddhist and Muslim culture of Ladakh. People of all communities here believe in brotherhood and harmony and respects the tourists. The residents expect the same from the tourists.
Tour Reviews
I did this trip as a solo traveller in august 2019. Although I was told that August is rainy and I can postpone trip to September without cancellation/alteration charges but I wanted to do it when Kashmir and Ladakh look more green. And my decision was right. I enjoyed every bit of it. Amazing landscapes, the peaks, clouds, rivers, glaciers. I lost my heart to the beauty of Kashmir and Ladakh. I will suggest visiting Ladakh in July or August if you want to see cold desert in its full bloom. regard Jyotsna
Amazing trip we had. Ladakh is amazing. I see photos and videos of our trip at least twice every day. Ladakh has a kind of magic. And the hospitality of people is exceptional. Thank you team Discover Leh Ladakh for making our trip unforgettable.
Amazing service for srinagar to Leh Ladakh tour packages
They have good packages at reasonable price if compared with others. But it was very cold at pangong. There was no fire or electric heater in my tent. They gave me only blankets and quilt but no heater. Taxi driver said he has no English song collection. Otherwise everything was managed well.
