Ladakh holidays from Mumbai fly you into Leh for monasteries, the Nubra Valley's dunes over Khardung La, the blue water of Pangong Tso and, for the adventurous, Turtuk and the dark skies of Hanle. Our three private journeys run 5 to 8 nights and start from ₹27,000 per person. The season runs roughly mid-May to September.

Why go

Best time to visit Ladakh

Mid-May to September. The high passes open in late spring and close with the first heavy snow, usually in October. June to August is peak season.

Prafull's notes

  • Day one in Leh is for rest only. No sightseeing, plenty of water — it's the single best way to avoid altitude sickness.
  • Talk to your doctor before the trip if anyone has heart, lung or blood-pressure conditions; Leh sits at about 3,500 m.
  • Pangong camps are basic-comfortable at best and nights are cold even in July. We pack the warm layers list in your notes.
