Ladakh · India
Plan Ladakh around the right base area, not just a list of attractions. For most groups, the key choices are leh town as acclimatisation base, whether to prioritise leh acclimatisation circuit or nubra valley, and how much buffer to keep for local transfers, weather and group split-ups.
June to September for road access
April-May and October are shoulder months with cold nights
winter is specialist travel
Conditions vary year to year — check live weather and event calendars before locking dates.
