Useful Tips

If you have more time, you could add trekking tours, visit Alchi Monastery, raft down the Zanskar River or explore the picturesque Markha Valley. If you have less time, you could skip Tso Moriri Lake or the Hemis National Park. Avoid travelling to Ladakh during the winter months as several passes and attractions are closed due to heavy snowfall.
