Frequently asked questions
About Leh
Located in the northern part of India, Leh is the capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh. The region is known for its stunning landscapes, Buddhist monasteries, and vibrant culture. The currency used in Leh is the Indian Rupee. The town is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and is a popular destination for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
When to visit
The best time to visit Leh is during the summer months from May to September when the weather is pleasant and the roads are accessible. Winter months from October to April are extremely cold with heavy snowfall, making it difficult to travel around the region.
Getting around
Getting around Leh can be done by hiring a taxi, renting a motorcycle, or using local buses. The roads in the region can be challenging due to the high altitude and rugged terrain, so it's important to acclimatize properly before embarking on any journeys.
Traveller tips
Make sure to stay hydrated and take it easy to avoid altitude sickness. Carry warm clothing even in the summer months as temperatures can drop suddenly. Respect the local culture and customs, especially when visiting monasteries. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices. Be prepared for limited connectivity and ATMs, so carry enough cash with you. Try the local cuisine for a truly authentic experience.
