Best Time To Visit Leh:

Leh can be visited all year round. You could choose from 3 main travel periods - The peak season, the shoulder season, and the waning season. Thrillophilia guarantees an exciting experience to all the tourists visiting Leh at any time of the year.

1. Peak season - If you’ve booked your Leh packages for Peak Season (May to July), you'll find that all the routes to the region stay accessible.

3. Waning season- Despite the risks involved, many tourists plan their Leh trip between July and August (Monsoon Season). During the monsoon season, you'll notice lesser tourist footfall. That being said, you could enjoy a more peaceful time at your favorite hotspots. We'd recommend keeping an eye out for weather forecasts to avoid any troubles while on the road.

How To Reach Leh:

1. By Air: The fastest and the most efficient way to reach Leh is through flights. There are several direct flights available to Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh, from major cities like Delhi, Srinagar, Jammu, and Chandigarh.

The most popular river rafting spots on the Indus river in Ladakh include-

  •    Phey to Nimo
  •    Upshi to Kharu
  •    Upshi to Nimo
  •    Nimo to Alchi

Is it safe to take a bike trip from Leh to Srinagar? What difficulties will I have to face?

Yes, a bike trip from Leh to Srinagar is not only a viable option, it is also quite a popular one with bikers. The route is a fantastic one, and the sights you will see are among the most magnificent in the world. The route is pleasant and easy to navigate, and if you are an experienced biker, there should be no difficulties on the route. Some things need to be kept in mind before you start, however.

The distance from Leh to Srinagar is approximately 434 kilometres. It is no trifling distance, and driving through the mountainous terrain can be exhausting, especially if you are not very experienced on mountain roads.

The climate is another challenge you might have to overcome. Ladakh is located at a great height, and oxygen shortage is a real problem there, especially to those used to low-lying terrains. Make sure you carry an oxygen cylinder on you at all times and take frequent breaks if you feel the need.

Since the landscape is so rough, you can also expect landslides blocking your way. Carry food supplies to keep you energised in case you face an unexpected derailment due to the terrain.

Which are some famous Cycling tours in Leh? What are the things I need to keep in mind for before going for a cycling tour in Leh?

Most tours around Leh which can be covered in a jeep or bike can also be covered on a cycle. Cycling has the added advantage of being pliable on dirt tracks so you can explore roads less travelled too. There are several ways in which you can enjoy a cycling tour of Leh Ladakh.

Firstly, you can choose to rent a bicycle in Leh and bike up to the famous points around Leh including the Khardung La, Tanglang La and Baralacha La passes, Keylong, Jispa, Nubra Valley etc. Day trips to these spots will allow you to enjoy Leh Ladakh in a relaxed manner, and you can always return to the comfort of your hotel in the evening. You can also choose to make a circuit of all the famous spots around Ladakh and camp on the road at night.

Alternatively, you can choose to start your bicycling tour to Leh from Manali and Srinagar. This is a challenging tour and it is advisable that only advanced cyclists undertake it. The route is extremely scenic but also very tricky, and riding a bicycle in the mountainous terrain is a hard task. If you wish to undertake this tour, preface with it some strong preparation and do not jump headfirst into it.

Any cycling tour in Leh Ladakh should involve several pit stops which will allow you to reenergise yourself. Pushing your body beyond its capacities can prove life-threatening too since the landscape of Ladakh with its low oxygen is a challenge in itself. Take many breaks, carry adequate food and water supplies, and always have an oxygen cylinder with you.

However, a solo backpacking tour of Leh Ladakh, while rewarding, is also a tricky trip, and several cautions need to be kept in mind.

The climate and the terrain of Ladakh is the most challenging aspect of a trip to the region, but it should be of especial concern to a solo backpacker. Make sure you are well prepared to tackle any difficulties that come in your way. Always carry plentiful food and beverage supplies to keep you energised, and keep a first aid kit and oxygen cylinder with you at all times. But don’t carry too many things with you since traveling light is easier than lugging many bags along the road.

The height and remoteness of the landscape also means that you are likely to lose your phone connection at many points. It would be wise to keep several operational sim cards on you, preferably by different providers, so that you have maximum chances of being connected to the world. Creating a detailed itinerary and handing over a copy of it to your loved ones is also a good way of ensuring that you are prepared against emergencies.

Safety measures like pepper sprays and nail cutters should also be kept on hand just in case.

Apart from this, a solo backpacking trip in Ladakh is a wonderful experience so enjoy every bit of it.
