Leh Ladakh

-

 



In India's Kashmir area, Ladakh is a union territory. Ladakh, which was previously part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, became a union territory on October 31, 2019. Ladakh is a place unlike any other, stretching from the Siachen Glacier to the main Great Himalayas. Ladakh is recognised as the world's coldest desert, with spectacular vistas.

Ladakh is a riot of complex paintings and red-robed monks, with stunning Gompas (Tibetan Buddhist monasteries), fluttering prayer flags, and whitewashed stupas. Only in Ladakh is it reported that a guy sitting in the sun with his feet in the shade may get both sunstroke and frostbite. Ladakh's population are pleasant and open to travellers, with a culture that is comparable to Tibetan culture.

Rafting and high-altitude hiking are popular activities in Ladakh. Outside of the summer months, Leh Ladakh is unreachable by road. From October to May, the path passes close together, and the only way to get there is via plane. From January through the end of February, the Chadar walk on the ice Zanskar river takes place.

Here's something that could assist those of us who are often perplexed by the differences between these two areas, Leh and Ladakh. The state of Ladakh is split into two districts: Leh and Kargil. The former district features a well-known town, "Leh," which is a popular tourist destination due to the neighbouring stunning monasteries, Shanti Stupa, cafés, and Leh Bazaar, which define the culture of the region.


What You Should Know Before Visiting Leh, Ladakh

  • From August 2021, Indian nationals will no longer need Inner Line Permits to travel in Ladakh's inner line zones.
  • Visitors to Ladakh, however, will still be required to pay a green charge of INR 300 and a Red Cross Fund cost of INR 100. This cost can be paid online, at your hotel, or through a travel agency.
  • Travellers from countries other than India would still need a Protected Area Permit (PAP) or Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to enter the country (RAP)
  • On June 1, 2017, the government created an online site, http://lahdclehpermit.in/, to make it easier for travellers to get a permit. 


Other Facts to Consider:

  • Ladakh is an union territory that is plastic-free.
  • Without the consent of the locals, do not take photographs of them.
  • Carry enough cash because there are no ATMs outside of Leh, and ATMs may be inactive due to poor weather or power outages.

What makes Ladakh famous?

This is a place for adventure. Throughout the year, the mountains are covered with snow, and the panorama is breathtaking.


What is it about Ladakh that you don't like?

The weather and travel circumstances are not ideal. Breathing issues can occur in infants and the elderly. It may take time for those who live at low elevations to adjust to areas at such heights.


Who should go to Ladakh and why?

A fantastic place for thrill seekers, bikers, and a group of friends looking for some thrills. Not for leisure or relaxation.


Is there a good time to visit Ladakh?

Summer (April-June) is the greatest season to visit Ladakh since the weather is nice and the snow from the previous winter has melted. During the remainder of the year, the Manali-Leh route is closed, and the only way to travel to Leh is via the Srinagar-Leh highway, which is also prone to landslides. The Frozen River Trek, one of the most well-known treks in the area, takes place along the Zanskar River between December and January. Flying to Leh is the only method to reach the Frozen River Trek Point.
