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
Wow. Just wow! The roads to Zanskar valley of Ladakh are still under construction and are not for faint-hearted. Thankfully we had a the best driver. The valley is less touristy due to its remoteness, poor roads and high tour cost. Also, Zanskar has a limited hotels and guesthouses. The valley has amazing and beautiful monasteries. The landscapes of the valley are just fantastic. The road journeys may feel lengthy but you will want more of them as every turn has something new to show you. The best part of our package was that leh ladakh was also included in it. We could visit pangong tso lake and nubra valley and leh in the same package. A few tour operators arrange this trip. We were lucky to be in safe hands of discover leh ladakh travel agency. We didn’t have any complain. We are extremely happy with their services.
This Zanskar trip is all about adventure, fun, beauty, adrenaline rush, high altitude, mountain passes, glaciers, rivers, wildlife, ancient monasteries, monks and lot more. ❤️
