Useful Tips

If you have more time, explore the lesser-known villages of Ladakh like Dah and Hanu or Zanskar Valley. Avoid visiting during peak winters as the majority of the attractions remain closed. For those with less time, Pangong Tso Lake and Nubra valley are must-visit places on the Ladakh list.
