Day-by-day plan

Morning, afternoon and evening structure tuned for groups. Adjust freely in CollabTrip.

  1. Day 1: Arrival, orientation and first group vote

    Start 09:00

    Arrive in Ladakh, keep luggage and check-in simple, then choose one low-friction experience such as viewpoints. Avoid overloading days because altitude, road conditions and weather can change plans.

    Track Ladakh costs by stay, food, local transport, viewpoints, optional extras and buffer.

  2. Day 2: Buffer day with checkout planning

    Start 08:30

    Keep the final day in Ladakh flexible for one nearby stop, packing, pending payments and return transfers. Close shared expenses before the group splits.

    Track Ladakh costs by stay, food, local transport, viewpoints, optional extras and buffer.
