About Leh

Leh is the base for Ladakh's lunar landscapes at 3,500 metres. Acclimatise among the stupas and rooftop cafés of the old town, then head out to Thiksey and Hemis monasteries, the sand dunes of Nubra Valley via Khardung La, and the impossibly blue Pangong Lake. Guided multi-day tours handle permits and oxygen-equipped vehicles.

June to September is the main road and flight season. Winter is extreme and many routes close.
