Leh-Ladakh has become one of the top destinations to travel on everyone’s bucket list. Thanks to its postcard locations, spectacular landscapes, snowcapped mountains, humungous palaces, stupas, and Bollywood movies.
Calling Leh-Ladakh a paradise is an understatement. It is the picture-perfect place, heaven on planet Earth.
With the yearly rise in tourism, Leh-Ladakh has become a super-friendly destination. The government has taken many measures to make the journey comfortable and pleasurable.
You can reach Ladakh either by air or road. Many travellers prefer air travel due to time constraints. However, the road journey is one of the best in the world.
If you are traveling by air, it is absolutely important for you to acclimatize your body to the rising altitude level. The sudden change in altitude may be a little challenging, and it takes a couple of days for your body to adjust.
While if you are traveling via road journey, the acclimatization is better as the changes in altitude are gradual. You can see jaw-dropping valleys, mountain passes, and waterfalls; everything is scenic and beautiful.
Visiting a place like Leh-Ladakh is an experience. You must visit this at least once in your lifetime. The monsoon season, i.e., From July-Sep, is the best time to visit this place as it is a dry spot.
Most people make Leh their base in Ladakh due to its good connectivity to Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and Srinagar in Kashmir. And to help the body properly acclimatize to high altitudes and avoid any mountain sickness.
The government has now made it mandatory to stay in Leh for 48 hrs before proceeding to places in Ladakh due to rising cases of AMS (acute mountain sickness).
