We had been to leh in july 2010 it is a place one must visit in one’s lifetime,the khardungala pass is really beautiful and cannot be described in words or cannot be captured in cameras. we felt little bad there when we saw lot of cans and bottles being thrown in the snow, i fail to understand how can someone do this to such a beautiful place,so my request to all of you who are planning to visit leh is please do not throw any cans or bottles or plastics anywhere in leh that will be your tribute to this beautiful heavenly place in India

Hi Sneh, you might not be able to reach Ladakh by road at the time you are proposing. Safest time to go is June onwards till mid-Sep. Even then you have to ask around when the passes are open. You will need permits but these can be done easily in Leh.

Hi, I m planning a trip to Ladakh district and willing to cover almost all the places, The plan is still in its fancy ages but the plan is final. The tentative date is late April/Early May. Is this a good time to cover the entire district on Gypsy?
I am also planning to visit Hanle, Kargil and Drass while being in Ladakh. Do i need permits to visit any of these places? Any tips?

Hi Vaibhav, Kunzum pass should open sometime late May. But it varies every year. But June should be all clear to bike in Spiti. Cheers… Ajay
