Nimgt Says: The legendary Tsomoriri Lake is some 250 km from Leh; the journey is very rough and takes 6 to 7 hours. The last 60 km is an absolutely rugged drive. We took tents and sleeping bags from Leh and pitched our own tent right at the banks of the lake close to a small mountain...

MalenaN Says: Pangong Lake is a beautiful lake situated at an altitude of 4350 metres. The water is cold and clear and shift in blue and green colours. The lake is surrounded by bare mountains, some with snow on the tops even during the summer months. The water in Pangong Lake is brackish...
MalenaN Says: When you go to Pangong Lake you will go over Chang La, which is a high pass on 5360 metres. Chang La is said to be the third highest motorable pass in the world, but as the Chinese are building roads over several high passes I’m not sure this is true anymore. It is at least...
MalenaN Says: Thiksey Gompa (Monastery) is situated 25 kilometres south of Leh. The buildings in white, ochre and red are spread out over a rocky outcrop. It is sometimes called “Mini Potala” as it is constructed in the same style as the Potala Palace in Lhasa, but it is of course much...
husain Says: The geography of ladakh means that the winters can get quite cold. Most of the region lies at 12,000 feet/ 3,500 meters or higher... so the tourist season is usually between the months of may and september. Much of Ladakh shuts down for the months beyond that...However, if...
VA_Dave Says: We did a trek in Ladakh 3 years ago and found it to be a magical place. It is often called "Little Tibet". During our travels we met an orphan boy from the border village of Lamayuru, and we have been sending him to Lamdon boarding school in Leh. In our experience, Ladakh is...

Nimgt Says: You can do Ladakh by road from Manali. The more comfortable way is to directly fly into Leh from Delhi. Yet another option (and equally exhausting as the road from Manali) is to take the road from Srinagar. Road from Manali is more popular with the backpackers since the hill...
MalenaN Says: Traditional Ladakhi toilets are eco-friendly and much better to use in Ladakh than the flush toilets as water is a scarcity in the area. All homestays where I stayed along the Markha Valley trek had of course the traditional toilet. The toilet consists of a hole in the...
husain Says: The various Moastaries and Gompas. They are peppered all around the Ladakhi landscape and give shape to it.A whole lot of them are within an hours drive from Leh.There are some basic do's and dont's when you are visiting them... it may be better to be pre-informed.

Khardung La the highest motorable pass
kikalena Says: Khardung La is about 2 hour drive from Leh, it;s on the way to Nubra valley. The views on the way are the most scenic I've ever seen: high snow-capped peaks and glaciers can be admired from such a close distance!Hower, the road is very winding and narrow, from time to time I...

Ladakhi Women’s Travel Company
MalenaN Says: I thought it was best to book a trek before coming to Leh. I was not sure how easy it would be to walk around in Leh on arrival to find a trek leaving, and coming back, within the time I was planning to be there. While searching on Internet I came across Ladakhi Women’s...
