In this blog, we’ll share with you how you can plan your trip to Ladakh. How you can see the beauty of Ladakh at a low cost? And about Ladakh’s road map, hotels, food, etc. And I’ll share my experience of visiting Ladakh.

You can come to Ladakh in different ways. Some come from Delhi, some come by plane from Delhi, and some come from Kolkata. Tourists come to Ladakh not only from different parts of India but from all over the world.

From Manali, crossing Rohtang Pass, you reach Jispa. From Jispa, 10 kilometers before Darcha. From Darcha, crossing Shingo La Pass, you reach Padum through the inner road via Singey La and Sirsir La, reaching Leh via Srinagar Highway, near Lamayuru.

Those who do not want to enter Zanskar Valley can go straight from Manali via Darcha, crossing Baralacha La and Taglang La, and reaching Leh. This is the main Manali-Leh Highway.

And if you want to go through Jammu and Kashmir, you have to go from Jammu and Kashmir to Srinagar, then through Kargil to Suru Valley. Then from Suru Valley, Panikhar, Parkachik, Rangdum, you reach Padum. If you do not want to go to Padum via this route, you can reach Leh via Srinagar.

If you come to Leh by flight, rest for a day in Leh city. The next day, visit various monasteries, palaces, and tourist spots in Leh city. After that, see Magnetic Hill and Sangam Point. The next day, go towards Nubra Valley or Hunder.

The following day, from Hunder, go to Turtuk village. The next day, Pangong Lake, and then spend the night at Hanle. See Tso Moriri Lake the next day. Then see Umling La (world’s highest motorable road) from Hanle, come back to Hanle, and the following day go wherever you want from Leh.

Those who will travel to Ladakh by bike can rent a bike from Leh city or bring their own bike. If you want to see Leh City, you can trek in the city for a day. Otherwise, after seeing Magnetic Hill and Sangam Point, you can go to Khardung La Pass from there and spend the night in Nubra or Hunder. From there, you can spend the night at Pangong Lake and then go to Umling La. You can end your trip here.

For those who want to travel to Ladakh alone, there are various agencies in Leh city you can talk to and join a group. However, if you’re preparing for a solo bike trip to Ladakh, be very cautious and plan carefully.

Regarding permits, I’ve discussed extensively in the previous blog with you. Here, I’ll also mention a few things about permits. Indian nationals currently do not need permits. However, some permits need to be obtained online for non-Indians to travel on certain inner-line routes.

Let me talk a bit about the budget. If you go to Ladakh during the main season, everything will cost more. You’ll spend more on car rentals, hotels, and food. Prices mainly increase during that time. But if you go off-season, you won’t need to spend so much. Try planning your trip from the end of May to July to save costs.

I’ll tell you about my expenses – I spent around 50000 rupees. We spent 12 days and 13 nights. We traveled almost everywhere in Ladakh. My expenses were high because I rented a bike from Leh.

Let me tell you a bit about hotels. If you travel to Ladakh off-season, you can find good hotels at a low cost. But if you go during tourist season, renting a decent room can cost you between 1000 to 1500 rupees.

I hope through this blog I’ve informed you about Ladakh tours and shared my personal experience. Reading this blog will surely be helpful for you. I invite you to read the next blog and thank you for reading this blog.
