Please let me know if biking is possible in Dec Jan Feb (peak winter) if rented bike is arranged...?! Do share the contacts if you have it

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Buddy, it will be damn cold to ride up there and very risky as well especially at high passes because of presence of snow/ice on roads. Mostly army do not allow bikers on high passes during winters.

Assalamu Alaikum, I am speaking from Bangladesh, I heard Bangladeshis are not allowed to go to Nuvra Valley and Pangun Lake. If you tell me what to do to visit these two places, I will benefit because then I will prepare to go to Ladakh soon, in sha Allah. Thanks in advance. I am waiting for your reply 😊

Last October we visited leh by flight. I have an acute breathing problem. But we were surprised that I didn't faced any such problems. Maybe this tour was my childhood dream. Only in khardung la I had a headache for a few minutes. It was such a beautiful journey , I can't explain. And before my tour I watched all your videos.

Hi Dheeraj, We are travelling to Leh via flight from 5th May to 14th May. We want to add Tsomoriri in our trip. We are travelling with Kid of 8 yr. Can you please advise should we go to tsomoriri from Pangong or should we go back and then cover from Leh? Also if stay options will be available in Tso moriri at that time as online not getting any stay option to book in karzok.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Stay options will be limited only to homestays as camps would not be setup. You can travel to Tso Moriri from Pangong. Please bear in mind that both the lakes will be pretty cold, so go prepared

Is pure veg restaurant a major challenge in leh ladakh trip?

Only in and around Leh you will find pure veg.. otherwise other places you need to carry your own food and 100% veg restaurants may not be there. They make both food. Veg food you will get everywhere though.

[@divyam89]

Wanted to do a one-way road/ air trip. Would you suggest driving from Srinagar-leh and flying back from leh or flying to leh and driving back from leh-manali?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Best ways as per acclimatization is going from srinagar to Leh by road and then flying out. However, if you really wish to do Manali Leh Highway then it is better to fly to Leh, acclimatize, do Ladakh sightseeing and then travel Leh to Manali by road.

Well, take rest in Srinagar when you arrive, explore locally. Then next day travel to Kargil, stay overnight and then travel to Leh covering Sham Valley. Check the video below from Day 3 onwards. You can follow the video for rest of the days but instead of exiting from Tso Moriri to Manali, come back to Leh and fly out Best Ladakh Road Trip Itinerary in 12 Days | 2023 Leh Ladakh Trip by Road Plan | Dheeraj Sharma kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoTIZJSHm7eirNk

We are planing to go 6 days in Kashmir from Delhi and than 6 days to Leh Ladhak again by flight in July , pls advice about AMS and all other tips you can give. We are planning 6 days in Srinagar, another 6 days in Leh Ladhak and 2 days in Delhi and back ro Mumbai after 2 weeks break. Need advice. Family of 4.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Best will be to take road trip to Leh from Srinagar instead of flying. You will get better acclimatization than flying directly. You need to stay over 2000-2500 mtrs to get your body acclimatize. So better option is to take night halt at Kargil and then by road to Leh next day

Regards, John

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Hey John, I am sorry, I got late in replying. Since it was a long comment couldn't reply from phone :) Here are my inputs 1. You should visit Turtuk on Day 4. It will make it balanced. 2. You may skip Sumur and Panamik. There isn't much that you may not already have seen and as you said you would like to keep it relaxed better spend all that time in Turtuk, Hunder and Diskit. 3. Well, since you are traveling in April, it is going to be very very cold at Pangong Lake with lake being partially frozen. I will say you be better skipping the Day 8 there. You should rather head back to Leh on Day 8 to save a day. You can visit monasteries then next day at easy pace or just relax in Leh more if you want to visit the monasteries on the way back from Pangong lake. There isn't much of sightseeing at Pangong lake, just the lake and roam around the villages. 4. I answered above in 3. Either dedicate a day skipping one extra day in Pangong or do them on the way back only. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know more questions you may have.

[@JohnLennon-ff1bu]

@@discoverwithdheeraj hello D, Thank you for your earlier reply. Based on your vital inputs, we are changing our 10 nights itinerary, starting in first week of April. We want to stay in scenic locales... Want to avoid every day check-ins / Check-outs... Overall less hectic trip. We'll be skipping Sumur -Panamik as you suggested. We r planning to avoid Tso Moriri as it will be much colder than Pangon and as you advised in one of your vlog. Please have a look and tell us your thoughts on our revised Plans. Your opinion matters. Plan A: 2 nights in Uleytokpo > 2 nights in Turtuk > 2 nights in Hunder > 2 nights in Pangon > 2 nights in Leh Plan B: 3 nights in Uleytokpo > 3 nights in Turtuk OR 3 nights in Hunder > 2 nights in Pangon > 2 nights in Leh Whether to go with Plan A or Plan B? If its Plan B then 3 night in Turtuk or Hunder? We find ourselves full of doubt. Thanks for taking the time. Regards, John

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Maria, I am not a medical expert on it but I think as long as you are following the acclimatization tips (Check video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bonMm3-np5uCZrs) then you should be OK. However, plz DO NOT treat it as medical advice and you MUST consult your doctor by telling the condition to them and telling that you will be traveling to High altitude places. So, ask them for proper medical advice there.

If I'm riding without such support then will i get any support there??? How to manage.

Yes, in such a case if you can afford for the mechanic and spare vehicle services then you can take it. Main thing is that if you have a group of 5-6 riders then the cost makes sense else it becomes very costly.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Well it will be very much inconvenient as you have to rent bike at multiple places. Outside rented bikes are not allowed for sightseeing in Ladakh. Better travel to Leh using other modes of travel and then rent bike in Leh for local ladakh sightseeing

Hello sir, it would be great to have your expert view on the below itinerary for upcoming independence day weekend. Day 1: Land at Leh, local sightseeing stay at Leh Day 2: Leh to Kargil (war mueseum, magnetic hill, indus zanskar confluence on the way). Stay at Kargil. Day 3: Kargil to Leh, on the way sightseeing. Stay at Leh. Day 4: Leh to Nubra Valley (via khardung la). Stay at Diskit, Nubra valley Day 5: Nubra to Pangong lake, stay at Pangong camp Day 6: Pangong to Leh, stay at Leh Day 7: Fly back to Delhi.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Give the days in hand it is OK.. Not sure if you want to go to all the way to Kargil and come back as most of the sightseeing is in Sham Valley which can be done as a day trip unless you want to visit Lamayuru. The day saved can be used to visit Turtuk day trip when you are in Nubra Valley

Hi Dheeraj, thank you sharing the detailed itinerary. I have a trip planned for mid April by flight and I want to go to Umling la pass, so could you please share details about this? Like how to go or if there’s any permit needed?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Well in that case you need to 1-2 days, one to Visit Hanle from and then one in Hanle to visit Umling La. by leaving early from Hanle you can visit Umling la, come down back to Hanle and then go over to Tso Moriri lake the same day. This will save a day for you. No permits are needed for Hanle or UmlingLa pass anymore just the environment fee that you will pay

[@deepankerbisht21]

@@discoverwithdheeraj great thank you so much for your reply and the detailed information. I also went through your blog on Umling la but couldn’t get accurate information based on the current conditions there at the moment. I have a couple of questions if you could answer them plenty. 1. Based on the itinerary shared by you, I will be visiting Pangong and I read in your blog that Hanle is about 170 KMs from Pangong, so would it be better to reach Hanle directly from Pangong and then come down to Tso moriri next day and then back to Leh city? Or would it be better to visit Hanle directly from Leh on the 3rd day of trip and then Pangong then Hunder? In my opinion, the following circuit should work: Hunder-> Pangong-> Hanle-> Tso Moriri-> Leh. Please let me know. 2. Will there by any restrictions to go to Umling La by Indian Army?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Bhai, do not do the circuit in opposite direction. Plz choose the direction that you wrote above that is leh to Nubra to pangong to Hanle then start early from Hanle, visit Umling La and reach Tso Moriri by evening that day. Also for Umling La, if you checked my old English video then I will say plz check the latest Travel Guide cum Chat video I made for Umling La pass here Umling La Pass 2023 Travel Guide - Umling La Pass Permit -Umling La Bike Ride Highest Motorable Pass kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWivp2imp7SHes0 It should clear all you doubts for it.

[@flex.abhi1]

Who verifies if we had stayed 48 hours in Leh? And how?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

No one verifies that strictly in general but if they want to then they can do it using your flight details or hotel check in details in Leh and the environment fee dates. There are still gaps and questions in it but if they want to, this way they may enforce it. However it is not matter of if authorities enforce or not, it is matter of your own safety against AMS.. it is always recommended to spend at least two nights in Leh so your body gets acclimatized before doing any further sightseeing in Ladakh

You have said that depending on health situation at Nubra, we should think of proceeding or not proceeding to Pangong. However, hotels are already prebooked at one location with full payment. How to handle this?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

It is tough to handle such a situation when bookings are done. However, safety and health should always come first especailly in the remote land/areas of Leh Ladakh where real help is distant away, mostly in Leh.

Hi Pallavi, that time in September is a very good time to travel up there in Ladakh.. less tourist, cool weather. Just carry layered clothing as lakes and passes start to get cold.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Well, there are some restrooms made but mostly very limited on the route. I will say try to use at pit stops like main places which are there in Ladakh. As soon as you see some market/town along the road, you should inquire about it. Only very few places have public restrooms installed and long distances you will not get anything mostly. So make use of most of the places where there are restaurants.

Very informative video Dheeraj. We are planning a trip starting last week of May with similar itinerary. We are a group of 4, planning to travel on 2 bikes from Leh. Just a little doubt on logistics of luggage... Say we book a budget guest house in leh. We also plan 1-1 night each stay at pangong and tso moriri lakes. How do we manage our booking at Leh, because I feel it wont be practical to carry the whole luggage with us everywhere. Please suggest.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Most will give you a locker/storage room to keep your luggage if you are returning back to the same hotel. So, you should be able to get help there. Sometimes even bike rental folks may help you with nominal fee. Just carry locks for the luggage just in case even though Ladakh is very safe mostly.

[@barnamajumdar9886]

If any of the symptoms arise, should we immediately start taking oxygen? Should we keep taking oxygen throughout the trip from small cans?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

There is no need to think too much about oxygen and there is no need to keep on taking without any symptoms. Based on your itinerary in previous comment on other video, I can say that acclimatization-wise wise you should be OK. Just keep drinking fluids and keep body hydrated. Oxygen should only be taken when absolutely required or in case someone is feeling ill or uneasy. You may carry an oximeter but don't just keep using it without any symptom because it can cause psychological effect too :D ... Better use to identify if there is need to take oxygen or not. However, like I said, your itinerary is by road from Srinagar Leh, taking precautions/following tips mentioned in the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bonMm3-np5uCZrs you should be OK. Please note small oxygen cans don't last much and doesn't help in real need. Your taxi driver can carry a rented oxygen cylinder with kit through the trip. They are available in Leh for rent.
