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
We had booked a 6 nights 7 days Ladakh package from discover leh Ladakh but it had no puga valley and tsomoriri. We requested to change the itinerary at the last moment and our travel agent helped us without asking any question. We had to compromise with Turtuk and use that day at the end of the trip by adding tsomoriri, puga and Tsokar lake. Overall experience was amazing. Pangong is very long lake and we covered only 30 km till man merak villages. Tsomoriri is beautiful lake. Puga was lush green valley with hot water springs and hot water everywhere. We enjoyed every moment. Driver Ali was the best part of our trip who was our guide also. Discover leh Ladakh team is expert in this field and we also recommend them.
Puga is beautiful. I got my shoes completely wet here as the grass was unstable. The water was extremely cold. But the water in springs was extremely hot and dangerous. We soaked our hands and foot in hot water flowing down where it mixed with cold water. The trip was amazing. Tsomoriri and pangong lake are also amazing. Tsokar is small lake but good for wildlife lovers. Together it was an amazing trip.
If you want to travel to the Mars, which in fact is not possible, you can simply visit Puga Valley of Ladakh in Leh district. The mountains and surrounding gives a sense of being on Mars and the green valley with lush green grass carpeted across a huge chunk of land make it feel like Mars is becoming green. Amazing. Loved this place. Heard about Puga from online sources and decided to do this trip. While searching online, I came across discoverlehladakh.in and we booked the package on the same day. We also visited Pangong, Tsomoriri, Nubra and Leh. It was fun, learning and educational trip full of adventure.
