Useful Tips

Ladakh is a vast and beautiful region, and there are many more places to see than can fit into a 14-day itinerary. Travelers with less time may wish to cut their trip short and focus on specific areas. However, those with more time may wish to add some outdoor activities such as trekking or river rafting to their itinerary. Be prepared for some bumpy roads and high altitude. Remember to carry adequate warm clothing, sunscreen and medicines for altitude sickness.
