Because summers are the best time for this tour, we recommend visiting from May to September. The weather is cozy and perfect for sightseeings! But make sure you keep layers with you as nights can get cold.

Yes, kids and elders can go on the Leh tour. Since leh is at high altitude, we suggest taking it slow and give your body a good time to adjust. At TTH, we plan the tour with proper rest that helps the body in the acclimatisation process.

The beautiful Leh places can be covered easily in 5 nights and 6 days. You will cover all the famous places like Pangong lake, Nubra valley, monasteries, magnetic hills, the 3 idiot school shooting point and more. Even if you have a tight schedule, we also have 4 nights and 5 days options that include these places.

In the 5 nights and 6 days Leh tour package, you will visit Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa, Hall of Fame, Spituk Monastery, Magnetic Hill, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, the Sangam (confluence of rivers), Khardung La Top, Diskit Monastery, the sand dunes and Hunder Village in Nubra Valley, Lukung (the starting point of Pangong Lake), and the famous 3 Idiots shooting point.

Along with all these places, this tour package also includes a visit to Turtuk Village. It is a very special place near the India-Pakistan border and is different from anywhere else in Ladakh. You will love exploring its green gardens and learning about the unique Balti culture from the friendly locals. It is a beautiful, must-see spot!

The weather is pretty good during the day and at night it could get colder. The weather can also change quickly, make sure you carry good warm clothes and sun protections too.
In short,

• Daytime: Pleasant and sunny.
• Nights: Cold, even in summer.

It is. Since this is a tour, and most travel is done by vehicle, first timers can enjoy it comfortably. At TTH, we keep the first day light, focusing on rest and short walks only. This helps your body adjust naturally to the altitude.

You do not need very high fitness for a Leh tour. Basic fitness is enough, as most travel is done by vehicle. However, being healthy and able to walk short distances comfortably helps. We always suggest light walking, light meals, proper rest, and following acclimatisation tips for a smooth experience.

Yes, in certain places like Nubra valley and Pangong lake in Leh Ladakh, you need an Inner Line Permit (ILP). The permits are easy to obtain and when you book with TTH, we take care of all the documents procedures, so you don't have to worry about it.

You can keep summer clothes for the day and warm clothes for the evening and night. Even in summer, the sun is very strong during the day but it gets cold at night. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a cap are also useful because the sun can be strong.

The golden rule is to rest and follow basic precautions.

• Rest completely for around 24 hours after you land in Leh.
• Do not visit any high altitude points during the 1st and 2nd days.
• Keep layers for the colder nights.
• Drink lots of water.
• Eat light meals.
• Avoid any heavy work to prevent strain on the body.

Rest is important because Leh is at a high altitude region and the body needs time to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. Proper rest helps in preventing any sickness related altitude, such as AMS. If you check the TTH itineraries, you will see how each day is divided and planned with gradual altitude gain.

No, chances of AMS are low on a Leh tour if you follow proper acclimatisation.

Yes, ATMs are available in Leh town. It is also best to carry enough cash with you, as ATMs are limited or not available in remote areas like Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake.

TTH uses well maintained vehicles such as Innova, Ertiga, Xylo, or for larger groups, Mazda (minibus) or similar, depending on the group size. These vehicles are suitable for mountain roads and ensure a smooth journey throughout the Leh tour.

You will stay in great accommodations at different places during the Leh tour. In Leh town, stays are usually in hotels or guesthouses, while near Pangong lake, you stay in tented cottages. All accommodations are clean and well suited to the region.

The Leh tour is easy to moderate. Since most of the travel is done by vehicle, it does not require high fitness. With proper rest and well planned itinerary, the tour is best suitable for the travellers.
