Ladakh Tour Packages

Ladakh sits high in the Indian Himalayas, a cold desert of bare mountains, turquoise lakes and centuries-old monasteries where the light and the silence feel like nowhere else in the country. Leh, the main town at roughly 3,500 m, is the natural base, and from there the big sights - Pangong Tso, Nubra Valley and the high passes - open up one long, spectacular drive at a time.

Our Ladakh tour packages are ready-made itineraries covering Leh and its monasteries, Pangong Tso, Nubra Valley and the road over Khardung La. Open one and customise every day to match your dates, budget and pace.

Why visit Ladakh

Ladakh is a landscape trip first. Pangong Tso is a long, high-altitude lake that shifts from deep blue to green through the day; Nubra Valley has sand dunes at Hunder, camel safaris and Diskit monastery's giant Maitreya Buddha; and Khardung La is one of the highest motorable passes anywhere. Along the road out towards Kargil you pass Magnetic Hill and the Sangam where the Indus and Zanskar rivers meet, so much of the reward is simply in the driving.

It is also a deeply cultural region. Monasteries such as Thiksey, Hemis and Diskit sit dramatically on hillsides, with morning prayers, whitewashed walls and colourful festival dances. Leh's old town, its market and the palace above it are easy to explore on foot, and further out lie quieter spots like Tso Moriri. Add the warm Ladakhi food and the wide, empty roads, and it rewards travellers who want scenery and culture together.

Best time to visit Ladakh

Roughly May/June to September is the main season, when the passes and the Srinagar-Leh and Manali-Leh highways are open and days are mild, though nights stay cold. Winters are extremely cold, with heavy snow closing many routes. Whenever you go, altitude matters: Leh sits around 3,500 m, so plan a day or two to acclimatise on arrival before heading higher, drink plenty of water and take the first day slowly.

How many days do you need in Ladakh

Most travellers find 6 to 8 days about right. That typically means a day or two in and around Leh to acclimatise and see the nearby monasteries, then overnight trips to Nubra Valley and Pangong Tso, with Tso Moriri added if you have longer. Building in those early acclimatisation days is not wasted time - it makes the high passes and lakes far more enjoyable and is the single best thing you can do for a smooth trip.

Getting to Ladakh

The quickest way in is to fly to Leh's Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, with direct flights from Delhi and seasonal connections from other Indian cities. Overland, two classic mountain routes open in the warmer months: the Srinagar-Leh highway via Kargil, and the Manali-Leh highway over several high passes. Both are long, scenic drives of roughly two days and help you acclimatise gradually, but they are seasonal and can close with weather, so flights are the reliable year-round option.

Where to stay in Ladakh

Leh is the usual base, with everything from simple guesthouses to comfortable hotels, and it is where you will spend your first acclimatisation nights and any rest days. Out at Pangong Tso and in Nubra Valley, accommodation is more basic - think tented camps and small guesthouses near the lake and in villages like Hunder and Diskit. Booking these ahead in season is wise, and any package here can pin down your Leh hotel and camps for you.
