Overview
A moonscape of ochre ridges and turquoise lakes at the roof of India. Ladakh rewards the slow traveller — whitewashed gompas clinging to cliffs, the surreal blue of Pangong, and the thin, clear light of the high desert.
Best time to visit
May–September, when the high passes of Khardung La and Chang La are open and roads from Manali and Srinagar are clear.
Top attractions
Pangong Tso
A 134-km lake that shifts through every shade of blue with the sun.
Nubra Valley
Sand dunes, double-humped camels and the road over Khardung La.
Thiksey & Hemis Monasteries
Living Buddhist monasteries with dawn prayer ceremonies.
Magnetic Hill & Confluence
The meeting of the Indus and Zanskar rivers.
Travel tips
- Acclimatise in Leh for two nights before driving to high altitude.
- Inner Line Permits are required for Nubra, Pangong and Tso Moriri.
- Fuel up in Leh — petrol pumps are scarce beyond the valley.
