FAQs

1. Do Indian citizens need a permit to visit places like Nubra Valley or Pangong Lake?

Yes, Indian nationals require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to visit Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tso Moriri, and other border areas in Ladakh. These can be obtained online through the Ladakh administration website or arranged easily via your local tour operator or hotel.

2. What’s the best time to travel to Ladakh?

The ideal time to visit Ladakh is from May to September. Roads to Nubra and Pangong open by late May. July and August are the warmest months and best for road trips. Avoid winter unless you’re prepared for extreme cold and limited access.

3. Is this itinerary suitable for first-time visitors to high-altitude areas?

Yes — but acclimatization is crucial. Most itineraries allow 1–2 days in Leh before ascending to higher altitudes like Nubra or Pangong. Avoid physical exertion on Day 1, drink plenty of water, and eat light meals.

4. What kind of transport is included in the itinerary?

The itinerary typically includes private vehicle transport with a local driver experienced in Himalayan terrain. Vehicles like Innova, Scorpio, or Force Traveller (for groups) are commonly used for comfort and safety on mountain roads.

5. What kind of clothing and gear should I carry?

Pack in layers. Even in summer, mornings and nights can be cold. Bring a warm jacket, thermal wear, gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and a reusable water bottle. Good walking shoes are a must, especially if you plan to hike.

6. Is mobile network or internet available across Ladakh?

Leh town has 4G (Airtel/Jio/BSNL), but only postpaid connections work in Ladakh. In remote areas like Nubra or Pangong, expect little to no network. BSNL has the widest coverage, but signal can be patchy.

7. Are there vegetarian food options?

Yes, vegetarian food is widely available across Ladakh. Most hotels, homestays, and roadside dhabas offer veg thalis, momos, Maggi, dal–rice, and Tibetan dishes like thukpa.

8. How much should I budget for this trip from India?

A 6–8 day trip covering Leh, Nubra, and Pangong with hotels, transport, permits, and meals can cost between ₹30,000 to ₹65,000 per person, depending on your accommodation style (standard, deluxe, or boutique).
