Every day on my blog or social media accounts, I get a lot of questions like “What should I wear in Ladakh?” or “What clothes I should carry for Leh Ladakh trip?” or “What should I pack for my Ladakh trip?”. These are very genuine questions, and one should always think about carrying clothes for a Ladakh trip.
In today’s article, I will try to enlist some important tips that will help you pack your Clothes for Ladakh, especially at the start of the season (April to June) and end of the season (September to October).
Let's quickly dive into the details:
Shoulder Season for Ladakh
I specifically want to target the shoulder season months because people living in the plains tend to forget that you may have to face winter-like cold conditions up there in Leh Ladakh even in May – June or September – October.
Hence, you should be prepared with proper clothing when visiting Ladakh in these shoulder months of the season when the cold conditions are about to settle in the region, or they are about to fade away.
It is also important that you should also be aware of the best time to visit Leh Ladakh.
July – August is considered to be pleasant, and light woolens mostly do the job for you in these months. In the winter months, when both Manali Leh Highway and Srinagar Leh Highway are closed due to heavy snow, then the conditions are icy. In such winter months, you need very heavy woolen to survive.
We can talk separately in some other article about preparing yourself for the winter Ladakh tour. Hence, the tricky windows are from April to June and September to October. So, in this article, I will mainly focus on clothes to wear in Ladakh in these months.
Things to Know for Carrying Clothes on Ladakh Trip
The basic thing for making your Ladakh trip a successful one and learning how to prepare for Leh Ladakh trip is that, at any cost, you MUST KEEP yourself warm enough always with proper woolen clothing and always wear shoes all the time with socks.
This helps you keep yourself warm and reduces the chances of getting hit by Acute Mountain Sickness or cold. You must always protect your chest from the cold winds all the time. When the cold is severe, it is also important to protect the neck portion as well using full Balaclava, maybe.
You should always carry your own water bottle and refill it as many times as you need water. It will not only keep you hydrated always, but you will also help in saving the Himalayas from plastic garbage. Remember, every tiny step counts and you can help save the Himalayas too !! 🙂 🙂
The second thing on clothes to wear in Ladakh is that you must carry clothes that can be worn in layers because it helps you adjust to the fluctuating temperatures in the sun and shades, up there in Ladakh.
Yes, in these start and end season months of Ladakh travel, when the sun is shining, everything appears good and suddenly you enter a shaded portion with the wind blowing, which is cold enough to have a jacket 🙂 …
Hence, take due care about it and avoid letting the cold flow inside the body in such cases as well.
Keeping such factors in mind, I will recommend below a general list of clothes to carry on a Leh Ladakh trip.
What should I wear in Ladakh?
- Inner thermals 2-3 pairs (must have)
- A fleece jacket, windcheater jacket or windproof jacket to prevent the winds (must have)
- Good insulated boots or trekking shoes in winter. In summer, any sports shoes should be fine.
- Woolen socks 2-3 pairs
- Heavy woolens 2-3 sets – Sweatshirts, pullovers, warm hoodies
- Comfortable trekking/traveling pants or trousers. Better to be warm in winter or carry a couple of jeans (my favorite)
- A heavy woolen wind-proof jacket or parka is always handy throughout the year as a contingency too if weather changes even in summer months
- Carry at least 1-2 caps to protect yourself from direct sunlight as it is too harsh in this region to protect yourself from UV rays. Kids especially should wear caps or hats all the time when out there in the sun.
- Carry at least 1 Balaclava or monkey cap, especially in winter months
- Sunglasses to protect your eyes from the reflections of snow
- An extra pair of shoes/gumboots in case people are on bikes and are expecting a lot of water crossings,
- Hand gloves must-have in the months of October to June.
- The remaining list of things to pack for Ladakh trip.
Important Tip: Especially, in the months of September and October, the UV rays are harshest and you must protect your skin using Hats / Caps and good high-SPF sunscreen lotions.
This list of clothes and equipment will answer your question in general. However, the list mainly focuses on shoulder months and suits for all other months too. However, for an appropriate month-by-month reference of what to carry, you can refer to the FAQ section below.
In the end, it is always nice to take some candies, chocolates, books, pens, pencils, crayons etc. anything that you can distribute among the local children. Nothing but the smile on their face would be too much worth it.

Hi Dheeraj,
I along with my 7 friends planned tovisit Leh from Delhi. We will be starting our journey on 20th May, 2016 at 4:30 PM. we will board in two personal cars i.e. i10 & honda amaze (delhi and Haryana number respectively). Taking rest at road side dhabas, will be reaching Patnitop next day till 2 PM. We will stay there and on 22nd we will move to Srinagar and will stay in houseboats (Nageen Lake). On 23rd we will be moving to Kargil through Sonmarg. After Night stay in Kargil, next day early morning we will move to Leh. After two days stay at Leh, on 25th May we will move to Tsomorori Lake (Night stay also). Next day morning we will stay at Sarchu and on 27th evening we will be reaching Manali. on 27th morning, we will start our journey to Delhi again.
Kindly suggest the changes required in this plan.
Thanks
Given the days in hand it looks OK to me. Sleeping at Tso Moriri might be tricky with just little acclimatization only in Leh.
Hi,
I plan to visit Leh via Manali between 24th June to 3rd July.
Are there any chances of rainfall / snowfall which might affect the trip?
Also, what would you suggest to carry?
Hello Raina, highly likely there should not be any rains or snow rest you should at least carry one heavy jacket foor sure.
Hi Dheeraj,
I am planning to visit Leh via Srinagar and come back via Manali on June 2016.
as you mentioned in a post the temperature will be around 20 C in the day time.
what kind of dress I need to carry/wear while this time, as I cannot carry so many luggage as I have pillion traveller (in bullet electra) with me.
and also can you please suggest the hotel or lodge expences in that area.

Hi Dheeraj, Your post explains a lot . I am travelling from 26 sept to 4 oct via srinagar. Could u please suggest woolens , especially jackets i should keep ? do i really need that long huge heavy jacket as i see the temperature is not so low ??
Lovely, I will suggest that you wear layers of clothes. You should have one inner, one fleece and at least one wind cheater / light jacket to be worn in day and one heavy woolen jacket cutting the winds in early morning and night time. I am back from Ladakh this Monday and on Sunday when we slept at Tso Kar, the morning temperature was minus 6 🙂
Lovely, we are travelling same route 25th Sep – 3rd October from Mumbai and were wondering about the clothing too.. Guess will follow what Dheeraj suggested?

Earlier we planned to take bikes & a car from Manali to Jispa….. but some how the plan got cancelled because of the unfamiliar roads.
So we plan to take 3 bikes & a tavera for the below:

You guys are making a good use of technology and doing a fantastic job.
I will share my itinerary with you soon. Have mainly borrowed it from the one you have posted.
Thank you Anand, best wishes for your trip to LAdakh 🙂

Sandeep Khatwani
Sandeep, plan looks OK just that please sleep at Jispa instead of Sarchu as your body will not be acclimatized for it and you guys might get hit by AMS. Also, you can directly go to Kasol – Manaikaran instead of reaching Manali first and then coming back to Kasol – Manikara.
Hi Dheeraj!
Thanks a lot for such informative posts that you have been doing. You are doing a great job in responding to the queries of everyone. Really enjoyed reading all your articles on Ladakh Trip.
We, a group of 8 people, are travelling to ladakh on 31st july 2015 from Delhi by our own cars, i20 and Scorpio. We have exact 10 days to complete the trip and come back to Delhi, didn’t get more leaves from office 🙁
Anyway, we are planning to go via the srinagar route and come back from the manali route. Can you please design an itinerary for us? Also, would like to know your if taking a hashback like i20 would be advisable or not?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Thank you so much Deep, glad you appreciate the hard work put in here 🙂 …
It will take 4 days to reach Leh from Srinagar side and 3 days to come back from Leh from Manali side. This makes it 7 days. 1 Day is required in Leh for acclimatization. You have about 10 days. 1 Day can be used as Day trip to Pangong Tso and other day can be used as day trip to Nubra Valley or just Khardung La pass.
For hatchback/sedan taking on Manali – Leh Highway Or Spiti Valley via Manali Or Ladakh, please refer the link: FAQ | Can I do Leh – Ladakh / Spiti / Manali – Leh trip in Hatchback or Sedan? for more details.
Thank you so much for the response Dheeraj! really appreciate it.

hi

I am leaving for leh on 15 July,15…. you have mentioned in yoour article to carry goodies for little children out there and i would love to do so…. can you please tel me where can i distribute them… like in schools or ? do schools accept such goodies ??.. or any refrence if you could give me… but my only concern is it should go to the needy and not taken for granted…
pls reply…
Amrita, thanks for coming forward and help in this initiative of spreading smiles in Himalayas by DoW. You should yourself walk into the schools and distribute the material there only by your own hands so that you connect with the feeling too. Every school will welcome it and allow you to do the noble cause. You can go through many such stories under the link: https://devilonwheels.com/india/responsible-travel-f38/
Hi ,
We are planing to go Leh Ladhakh in the month of Sep (21st Sep to 30th Sep). Is that a good time to go because Someone told me that everything will be closed by that time. Pls suggest.
Namita, usually by end of September things starts to pack up but I prefer that period as Ladakh is full of colors during that time and less people/crowd plus better bargains on hotels and stays.
Sir we are planning to go leh via manali in mahindra bolero….is there any need for permit to go leh for personal vehicle..and what type of cloths is required in last week of august….and sir can we di camping anywhere in leh. In personal camping tent…and give more tips on behalf of your experience …what should we remember during nd before start journey…..give mre information sir
Yes Gurpreet, if you are going from Manali to Leh, you need to get permit to cross Rohtang Pass. Details are under: Rohtang Pass Rules & Restriction of Vehicles – Demystified You can pitch your own tents anywhere but I will suggest you pitch them at a place where there are some dhabha tents put up by locals or where other camping guy pitch theirs or somewhere near some house in village or in their garden/lawn. All you will need is to gently ask them (villagers/dhabha guys/camping guys) for permissions. Most likely they will allow, other wise negotiate for small little tip or move on to some other such place nearby. This will give you sense of security too.
But, keep in mind that camping at the lakes both Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri is not allowed as they are under Ramsar site. Hence, you need to pitch these camps away from the lakes where either other camps are there or at near by village.
Hi Dheeraj,

Hi Dheeraj,
With above, please advise about bikes as well. We are planning to take bikes in Leh.
Is it okay if we go on bike from Manali? (Two are planning on bike and rest four on car from Manali).
Also with the limites time we have, will it be possible/feasible if we travel all 10 days on bike?
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Outside rented bikes are not allowed for sightseeing in Ladakh to Nubra and Pangong tso by taxi union. Hence, the problem is you will have to again rent a bike in Leh. Are you fine with it?
Thanks Dheeraj, we will update the plan accordingly! 🙂
Any more suggestion for the people going on bike ?
Amol, this is what I suggest: 5 Tips to Rent Bike in Leh – Ladakh and Ride with Pillion
Shaziya, it is hectic and prone to AMS. I will not suggest night halt at Sarchu as your body will not be acclimatized to sleep at such high alitutde. Then you are planning to skip rest day in Leh as well which will also may get you in trouble of AMS
Hello Dheeraj,
I have become a great fan of your blogs!!! Kudos to you man!!! Your blogs has all the details which a travellar is looking for with extreme information as do’s and don’t.
May I request you for a favor, I am travelling to Leh for 7 days from July 12th to 18th with my family. We will reach Leh by air on 12th from Delhi. The major concern for my wife is about the altitude and the effects of weather on my health as I wasn’t keeping well from last 1 year wherein I was diagnosed with TB (Tuberculosis). Please suggest !!!
Also in my family, I am travelling with my daughter who is 4 and half year old. Please suggest any further precautions considering her age!!!
Thanks in advance for your support and I will keep going through your blogs to plan any further trips in advance!!!
Regards,
Surya Pratap
Hello Surya,
In general, it is fine to take the children of such age group because AMS do not matter with respect to age or sex or any fitness level. It can happen to anyone of any age or sex or fitness I shall say :D.. The issue with children is that they tend to exert the body considering it the same kind of place they belong to and this elevates the chances of getting struck with AMS. Secondly, they are not much expressive about their uneasy feelings, so it is parents who need to watch out and take care that the child is not suffering from uneasy feelings, headache or nausea and is behaving properly. With 5+ year child, I think he/she would be able to convey the uneasiness with little efforts. If you notice any such feeling or he/she tells you about such a feeling then please do not ascend anywhere, either descend to lower altitude or stay at the same place to watch things overnight and if symptom increase then start descending immediately. Same is applicable for any adult as well. And yes, do keep the body adequately hydrated!!
Also, PLEASE read the article: Traveling to Ladakh with Kids or Babies. This article covers this topic in complete detail.
You can check a very balanced and most common itinerary for Leh – Ladakh by Air followed by many travelers including me at the link here for 9 days: Leh – Ladakh | Most Common Itinerary by Air.
Please use this plan above and cut short the last few days to suit your needs. Day 1 to Day 4 should be followed strictly.
Regards
Dheeraj
Hi Dheeraj,
I am planning for Leh-Ladakh trip from Aug30th to Sept 6th. Will you please let me know what kind of shoes I need to carry.
Thanks
Lakshmi
Lakshmi, you can carry sports shoes.
Thanks Dheeraj..:)
Hi Dheeraj,
Have one more doubt. Are winter clothes available for rent in Leh/Ladakh?
Lakshmi, they are available for rent in Leh. Almost everything is available in Leh on rent 🙂
Hi,
WE are planning Leh trip in August. Below is out plan as of now – we have hired a self drive SUV from Chandigarh.
Date From To
6th August Chandigarh Pathankot
7th August Pathankot Srinagar
8th August Srinagar Kargil
9th August Kargil Leh
10th August Leh
11th August Leh to Nubra and back to Leh
12th August Leh Pangong Tso
13th August Pangong Tso Leh
14th August Leh Sarchu
15th August Sarchu Mandi
16th August Mandi Amabala
Do you think the above plan is feasible. And also we want to reach on the last to Amabala by 1 as we have our train – that is the reason we are planning on the penultimate day to travel from Sarchu – Mandi. Will this be possible – considering the rain in rohtang pass?
Need your valuable input.
With the amount of time in hand, I feel it is fine, though you can also try to have a lower risk of AMS as:
11th August Leh to Nubra
12th August Nubra to Pangong Tso via Wari La pass. Keep in mind that route is a bit desolated
13th August Pangong Tso Leh
14th August Leh Sarchu
15th August Sarchu Mandi
16th August Mandi Amabala
OR
11th August Leh to Nubra
12th August Nubra to Leh
13th August Leh to Pangong Tso
14th August Pangong Tso to Sarchu
15th August Sarchu Manali
16th August Manali Amabala
Thanks a lot Dheeraj..we will make the changes according to your first suggestion.
One last question – do you think we need to keep a buffer day considering the rain in August while we are returning via Rohtang pass?
Mitul, in case you can keep a buffer day it will be very beneficial.
Hi Dheeraj… Have raised few other questions in other threads and received excellent responses from you. Thanks a lot… To continue with my questions… We are a team of 6 travelling from Srinagar-Leh-Manali between July 3rd and 12th and are gonna follow your itinerary. Would like to know the type of clothes we should carry(though you had discussed in detail in this thread would like to get into specifics).. Do we NEED to have woolen clothes? We are from Chennai and haven’t had a chance to buy or wear woolen clothes.. Is this a must and if so can we buy them in Srinagar? We thought of carrying a rough Jacket and just a pair of shoes thinking of less weight to carry.. Do you agree or would u like to suggest us something else? is thermal wear a must? and what type of cap are you referring to!! Thanks in advance once again
Yes, Shankar, always carry one heavy woolen jacket and one light woolen jacket for a ladakh trip along with one pair of heavy woolens as you never know when it snows up there. Though anyhow the weather mostly will be pleasant but you should be ready with such exigency.
Hi Dheeraj..
We are 5 of us and are travelling from Srinagar to leh from 13th June to 21 st June by car.. would like to know if i am interested in riding a bike.. which will be the best place to hire it from.. as in is it a good idea to ride from srinagar to leh and can we drop of the bike at leh.. also we are in leh for 4 days.. what are the things we can cover during our stay.. any activities that we can do.. like paragliding / small treks etc..
Thank you for sharing such useful info..
Regards

Sangram, best will be that you hire the bike upon reaching Leh. In order to know the flow of Ladakh travel, you can check a very balanced and most common itinerary for Leh – Ladakh followed by many travellers including me at the link here for 13-14 days: Most Common Itinerary for Leh – Ladakh.
HI dheeraj,
Commendable job by you guys…not an easy task.
Just to add to the list, must carry an extra pair of shoes/gum boots in case people are on bikes and are expecting a lot of water crossings.
Thanks
Thank you Raunaq, updated the list.
Thanks for the precautions. We’re visiting Leh-Ladakh from June 11th to June 18th. Should we carry light woolens or the heavy ones? And should we carry inner thermals? We’re leaving by a morning flight (Delhi to Leh). My family insists on carrying woolens only. But I feel like I can wear half sleeves too. Please help 🙂
Do carry heavy woolens, its quite freezing up there at most passes as of now. Half sleeves, you might be able to wear in some low land areas 🙂
Hi There,

Binoy, we are in process of providing print option in the article. There are many people who have started copying the articles from the blog straight away and started putting them into their websites without permission / consent and without link/back or credits even. It is frustrating to see such articles in which a lot of hard work has been put.
Hi Dheeraj,
I must say im in awe of your blog! It is the main reason my husband and I are travelling to Ladakh in August this year. We are from Singapore (where its hot and humid throughout!) so I am a little worried about the weather in Ladakh. We reach Leh on the 1st of August and depart on the 9th by flight both ways due to time constraints. We will be covering the following:
1. Rafting from Phey to Nimoo
2. Nubra Valley
3. Panamic Hot Spring
4. Pangong Lake
5. Tsomoriri Lake
6. Tsokar Lake
Basically we would like to know what are the essentials we need and whether are any of the springs/ lakes ok for a dip. Also, is it safe for a couple to travel to Ladakh?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Neeta
Hi Neeta,
The temperature will not be that high and it will be kind of pleasant in Ladakh during August. You can follow the plan as: Leh – Ladakh | Most Common Itinerary by Air
Regarding essentials, clothes you can refer above and others you can refer the link: List of things to carry when you go on trip
Hi Dheeraj,
I will be driving to Leh from Chandigarh through Kullu-Manali with my friend in June’15 3rd Week. We will biking on Pulsar 150’s individually. can you suggest things to do or not to do during travel.
Pls advice.
Neel, how many days do you have? Also, can;t you start from Srinagar and come from Manali?
Hi Dheeraj,
Basically I, myself and my friend belong to Himachal Pradesh (Bilaspur and Kangra Distt. respectively. I Live in Parwanoo while my friend lives in Nalagarh of Distt. Solan H. P. So going to Srinagar is not feasible. We will be starting from Nalagarh in evening, will reach Manali at Night and will spend a night there. then next morning we are planning to move. we have 5 days. Also we would be carrying our own Pulsar’s.
Pls advice.
reg,
Neel
Neel, with just 5 days you planning this trip? It will take two days to reach Leh and two days to come back to Manali from Leh. So, 4 days are then and there gone. 1 day is required for rest in Leh. You need 2 more days to travel from Manali to Nalagarh too. Roads will be tough as they would have just opened.
hi Dheeraj,
I am replying to my comment as there is not option available to reply to your suggestions.
We have plannned 5 day trip, based on
Day-1:: Nalagarh (evening) to Manali (Night) stay at Manali 6 Hrs.
Day-2:: Manali (Early Morning 4 AM) to Leh (night) non-stop.
Day-3:: Stay at Leh (roam around)
Day-4:: Leh to Manali/Keylong.
Day-5:: Manali/Keylong to Home
it can be streached to 1-2 more days if required. it’s a tentative plan. once started, noway to come back. :)…
Neel, I will recommend, that you add at least on day and do Manali – Keylong/Jispa and then Jispa – Leh next day.
Awaiting suggestions.
Pls advice.
Guess I replied today.
Thanks Dheeraj, will Keep in mind. Rest depends on the condition of Manali to Jispa. Thanks for the advice. will come back if some help required.
Hi Dheeraj. Thanks for the article. I will be travelling from Manali to Leh in June 2nd week this year. I have a pair of sports shoes and I was told in the beginning the road might be muddy . So as far as I can understand they might not be enough but in deep mud while pulling the bike even trekking shoes might not be enough. Somebody suggested to carry an extra pair of shoes and change them if they are too wet. Or I could look for some rubber boots which might be difficult to find in Mumbai as I have size 12. My question is what do you suggest would be the best way to go about this ?
Thanks in advance .
Cheeers 🙂
Mayank, I will advice you to have gum boots tied at the back along with normal shoes. Otherwise, if you can get hold of Review | Quechua Forclaz 500 Ventiv Shoes nothing like it but in deep water crossings they will also get wet. Hence, tie a pair of gum boots always help. You can get them from any army store and even in Manali as well.
Also, it might be a heart break fro you, but Manali – Leh Highway is expected only to open 15th June as per BRO.
Understood . Thanks Dheeraj 🙂 . I ll be travelling with a friend and we have decided to reach Leh via Srinagar. We are planning to rent bikes there and visit Nubra, Pangong, Tso Mori and Zanskar majorly . The reason being we can’t delay the trip as the tickets are already booked.
On second thought we were also wondering if it’s possible to rent bikes in Srinagar and there will be nothing like it if we could drop them at Manali 😛 (although that seems quite improbable right now) . Would you happen to know anything regarding that ?
Cheers 🙂
Mayank, Leh shops will have Gum Boots available too and also apart from Zanskar you will not get much water streams to these places. For Srinagar bike rental you can refer the link: https://devilonwheels.com/india/ladakh-zanskar-travel-guides/outside-rented-bikes-banned-ladakh-t1009-50.html#p12858
But, do read the article: 5 Tips to Rent Bike in Leh – Ladakh and Ride with Pillion
hi i am travelling from new delhi ( janak puri) to leh on 15thMay Evening with one friend on bullet. Please suggest me whether if we go with 2 bullets or a single bullet. And the essential things to take with while travelling.
And would love if someone is travelling on same dates, can join us for the journey.
My contact no is 8010098885 or email me at [email protected]
Thanks.
Puneet, it will better that you go with two bikes in order to have better comfort of ride.
Thanks for your response. I want to ask you one more thing regarding permit. Do we need to take permit this year for bikes as well? And you suggested for 2 bikes. Can i ask why? Because would it not be better that if one person is tired then the other rides instead of taking to 2 bikes?
Puneet, yes permits will be required as per last year though as the pass opens, things will be much more clear. Regarding second question read: 5 Tips to Rent Bike in Leh – Ladakh especially the section of riding bike with a pillion to Ladakh.
HI Deer Deeraj.
I’m LJ. I’ll go to Leh- Ladakh-Kashmir with my friends. I want to know. Could I wash our cloth at hotel in Leh and leave our luggage while I stay night hotel in Nubra valley? Thank you very much. ^_^
Should not be an issue for you to do it 🙂 🙂 Else there shall be laundry service too. You can keep the luggage in some store room of the hotel but then you have to come back to same hotel in Leh for stay 🙂
Dear Dheeraj,
We 4 friends have decided to travel from Mumbai to Leh Ladakh via Srinagar…kargil on 14 the may 2015 by our Toyota Fortuner. Could you please help us in planning the detail itinerary. Time and days are no constraints.

Ninad Ranjit….Mumbai
Ninad, You can check a very balanced and most common itinerary for Leh – Ladakh followed by many travellers including me at the link here for 13-14 days: Most Common Itinerary for Leh – Ladakh.
However, the road to Leh – Ladakh will not be open as I feel seeing the weather conditions in March and there is no progress on opening of Srinagar – Leh Highway or Manali – Leh Highway. Stay tuned to the updates: https://devilonwheels.com/srinagar-leh-highway-status-2015/

As I replied to your other comment, you can refer the article above for clothes and detailed article for bikes and needed list of things to carry in the other link. Please let me know in case anything else you want to know. Temperature will be quite cold in June. So, heavy woolens must on Manali – Leh Highway.

Hi!
We are planning a Leh Laddakh tour in the last week of March. It will be a Family trip with my kids. Could you please suggest what kind of clothings we should carry. Thanks
Anirban, it will be extremely cold in March and only option is to fly to Leh to visit Ladakh. Both lakes will be partially frozen during that time and there will be too much of snow at the high passes. Are you sure you want to take family in such conditions? Only few hotels will be operational during that time.
Thanks Dheerj. We are aware about the condition through your blog. We wanted to experience the beauty of Ladakh in the winter. We decided to fly on the last week of March and stay there for a week. I guess Ladakh will not disappoint us. However we want to take utmost care for the winter.
Sure Anirban, please go prepared with heavy woolens and take good amnount of rest in initial 2-3 days to acclimatize properly.
in the month of February restaurants will be open for tourist
Most of them will be closed only few will be open, may be Lamayuru and Gesmo will be open.

Considering the amount of time you have on hand, I feel it is fine enough plan.
Sir,
I have gone through your Tips for Carrying Clothes for Ladakh Trip. Now I have transferred and posted to Leh from Nagpur (Maharastra). It may not possible for me to get heavy woolen cloths in Nagpur. Can I get these things in Leh?
Manoj, I think you should be able to get all these things in Leh.
Sir,
How can I use mobile there as I have heard that SIM came from outside of Kashmir will not work even of roaming is preactivated.
And what about 3G network accessibility?
Saurabh, it is Postpaid connection of outside states that works in JK. Prepaid does not work. Not sure if I got 3G anywhere in Ladakh though 2g EDGE/GPRS was present last year for BSNL I was carrying with me and Airtel.
Oh and can we swim anywhere there? I heard its pretty sunny during the day! 🙂
Anushka, if you can bear the cold water you can. However, refrain yourself from using some soap or other cosmetics as it will pollute the water bodies. Indeed, in season time it is pretty sunny and warm. However, when wind/breeze is blowing, which mostly is and on high mountain passes, the moment you step into shade, you feel the chill. So, in all optimistic case no heavy woolen is required. I have used half sleeves t-shirts too in Ladakh in August but again if you feeling all good, is the case here.
Hi, I will be travelling to Leh from 2nd Aug – 10th Aug. Do I need to carry thick woolen socks or will normal cotton do? and about shoes, can I carry any open footwear like sandals or is covered better?
Anushka, best is that you carry proper shoes and avoid Sandals. It helps in many ways. Regarding carrying clothes, again I always suggest to carry at least a light jacket which can be put on always in Ladakh so that you are not hitting by cold and one heavy woolen jacket which in season time of July – August is options but only with a risk of in case of weather turning up bad. I generally avoid combating this risk and carry both, one light jacket and one heavy jacket for emergencies.
Hi Dheeraj,
I am planning to travel to Ladakh from 20th Aug to 31st Aug. Above article is very good and suggests everythinh about cloting. I wanted to know what kind of shoes will be required? Will sports shoes be fine? Thanks in Advance
Sachin, as long as you are not riding on bikes through water crossings, Sports Shoes will do the job in season time in which you are visiting.
Hi,
I’m planning to visit ladakh in oct can u plz suggest me the clothing and are there any packages from delhi who can take us by road and which r the place v can visit
Syed, road travel should be avoided to Leh – Ladakh in October as snow starts to fall over passes and season closes. Chances of getting stranded in no man’s land increases. Read More info at: 5 Reasons to Avoid Manali – Leh Highway in October
Are you open to travel by Air? At max, you can travel by road from Srinagar side but fly from Leh or Srinagar. Manali – Leh should be avoided in October.
Hi dheeraj hw r u? We r planning to leave for leh on our bikes on 6th june from delhi via srinagar leh highway and return by leh manali highway I would like u to plese check my itinary as follows
6th june delhi to jammu

Also dheeraj can u plese tell me wat r the places that we can go in leh?? Waiting for ur reply dheeraj 🙂
Nadeem, your itinerary is fine except the fact you should replace your days of 11th and 12th with each other. Secondly, you should stay at Sarchu while coming to Manali to distribute your journey on Manali – Leh evennly.
Hi Dheeraj,
I am planning to travel to Ladakh and Leh from early August to a little after mid august. Please suggest the clothing, medication for altitude sickness, skin and eye care. Also should I consider a large back pack or a suitcase kind of luggage…I am not too sure if a strolley would really help and if we could find help lugging around large strolleys. What I should keep in mind and how to make the most of this trip if I am going to Tso Moriri Lake and plan to stay a day at Leh before starting back to the Mumbai.
Padma, you can refer the article above for clothing. Check the list of things to carry for Leh – Ladakh or other trip including basic medical kit, clothing, must haves etc. at the link here: List of Things to Carry for Leh – Ladakh trip.
Hi,
we are visitng Leh Ladakh in the last week of May.
Can you please provide us some tips regarding clothing.
We plan to go there via Srinagar Leh highway after booking cab.
Also if you could provide some insights regarding the Bullets that are provided there on rent.
~Regards,
Prahlad Singh
Please refer the article above brother for clothing. For renting bikes in Leh – Ladakh, you can check the DoW Community thread: Leh – Ladakh Bike Rental Rates 2014 – 15 & Reliable Shops
hi dheeraj,
we have planned our ladakh trip from 14th May – 22nd May via srinagar highway( fingers crossed) & returning back through flight from Leh.If the road does not open what is the option we have in hand as we have booked our accomodation & travel.Through your blog i got to know that Inner permits are not required for Indian citizens,so needed your suggestion on the places that can be visited on that day. Also after visiting Nubra valley & Pangong with a one night stay ( followed your itinery)we still have a day at our expense.i have thought of river rafting at Phey(2 children 7 & 13 yrs accompanying us).Can you please suggest if this is a good option or i can visit any other place more interesting.
Well, there is a 50:50 chance that Srinagar – Leh Highway will be opened by mid May. You need to take your chance. Also, beware that in the initial days of road opening the highway is not stable and there are snow slides / landslides common in early days. So, keep your buffer days in hand. If Srinagar – Leh Highway is not open then there is no alternative route other than flying to Leh.
Still you need to acclimatize in Leh for a day and rest to get used to high altitude. So, better keep Hall of Fame and Shanti Stupa for the day sightseeing.
Dheeraj, you are doing great job I must say with the information which you have provided on Leh – Ladakh for us. I have plans to reach sometime around 27th June & would like to know from you that apart from Leh (local sight seeing), Nubra, Pangong is it required to visit any other place which is equally important? Secondly for visiting these places what may be the days I should consider.
Regards –
GM, pleasure is mine. Please let me know how are you traveling there? Flight? Road? If you have more days then you can also visit Tso Moriri lake as well.
Hi Dheeraj. I am planning a visit to Leh for 8 days tarting from 31st March 2014.
I am following the 8 day itinerary recommended by you for travelers coming from delhi by air.
I have 2 questions-
1) Is it a good time to visit/ are there any major tourist spots that would be closed at this time?
2) Can i get the lane permits within 1 day after applying / is it an instant process?
I am following the 8 day itinerary recommended by you for travelers coming from delhi by air.
Thanks!
Hello Karan,
1. All roads inside Ladakh are generally kept open all round the year barring few days of heavy snowfall. So, in case the day it snows when you are there then it might close the passes else not.
2. It is an instant process and you get the permits right on the spot. In case DC is away sometimes, then it takes couple of hours but sometimes the staff if authorized present there can also stamp the permits. For details on inner line permits process and to download application form read the link here
Please let me know incase you have any other queries. Best wishes for the trip and we will wait for your pictures and trip report back in the community. If by chance you happen to be happy to help the local community, please try and support the DoW Causes up there.

Dhiraj bhai julley,

Vipin, well, yess, woolen socks would be required as it is a tricky month and snow starts falling by September. In the evening, it gets decent cold and if you cannot wear the woolen socks then atleast carry the cotton towel type ones OR synthetic ones. Plastic will provide some level of insulation for sure. May be this might help: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?39849-Alternative-to-Wool-Socks

Hi
I would like to know is there any shopping places to buy Himalaya herbal products and warm clothing in Leh. I am going to Mahabodhi Temple for meditation. I am not sure about the places in Leh
Merina, you will get them in the Leh Main Market and there are couple of them at Chanspa road too though I do not remember the exact names.
