Leh Ladakh Road Trip Guide:

While visiting Ladakh is a fantastic experience, it is not really an easy trip. One needs to be prepared for it. Here are some essential guidelines for making your trip better-

1. The weather in the Ladakh region can be quite unpredictable. The icy cold winds can make it feel much colder as well, so be well prepared. Pack thermal wear, a good windcheater, gloves, a cap, and sweaters. If you are biking, make sure you have full riding gear with a protective lining, as it can get really cold near the passes.

2. Carry a sleeping bag and a small tent, if possible, to protect yourself from the elements. Carry a day’s worth of rations as well – drinking water and high-energy foods. Carry a Battery pack / solar charger or car charger,  postpaid mobile connection, Photocopies of Passport / Aadhaar card/licence for inner line permits, Medicines, including Diamox, for altitude mountain sickness and Garbage bags to collect your trash.

3. Get your car or bike serviced before the trip. Make sure it has a healthy battery. The tyres should be in good condition, with a reasonable amount of tread in them. The brakes and clutch should be inspected and fixed before the trip.
