Hi - We plan to visit leh via flight in the first week of May. We plan to visit Leh - Shanti Stupa - Leh Palace - Magnetic Hill - Pathar Sahib Gurudwara - Hall of fame - Sangam Point - Disket - Hundar - Shayok - Durbuk - Pangong Tso - Chushul - Rezang La war memorial - Tsaga village - Loma bridge - Hanle - Nyoma - Chumathang - Leh What can we expect? Are there chances of rough weather conditions or landslides blocking our journey? Are the markets and all tourist spots open during this period?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Hi Medha.. well in May usually the weather is fine unless particularly day weather comes bad on your trip. Snowfall is not uncommon at passes but roads remain usually all open. Tourist season is beginning during those days and shops hotels start to open up in first week of May. Pangong Lake stay will be too cold so better stay at Tangtse.

[@shashankpamidi5471]

Hello, thank you for the video Me and my friends (8 of us) are visiting in April 3rd week by flight We want to do the Hanle (with Umling La day trip) - Tso Moriri _ Terido Cho house route which you suggested. Will the roads be open by then? can you also share some good taxi contacts? Our plan for now is day 1,2- rest like you suggested, day 3- alchi, day 4- nubra, day 5- tagste, day 6- pangong, from day 7- hanle route if possible. total 9 day trip Thanks

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Hi, well, Umling La may or may not be open during April third week. All dependent on your luck and amount of snowfall it gets, I have my doubts that you will find it open and easy but talk to local Hanle person and taking inputs of your local driver before making any such adventure from Hanle to Umling La. April is still cold, winter in Ladakh, so go well prepared. Lakes will mostly be partially frozen if not fully frozen. Your plan, I will suggest following: Day 1, 2 Rest Day 3 Sham Valley tour including Alchi Day 4 Leh to Nubra Valley (Diskit, Hunder) Day 5 Diskit, Hunder to Tangtse via Shyok route (Can visit Pangong in afternoon after reaching Tangtse and come back - Optional) Day 6 Drive from Tangtse to Pangong, spend some time, continue to Hanle for night stay. Leave early from Tangtse like 7-7.30 AM. It will be pretty cold, so go prepared. Day 7 Umling La trip, if locals of Hanle say it is safe, driver feels it is safe, you feel it is safe and weather is clear. DONT take unnecessary risk Alternatively, if not doing Umling La, then Hanle to Terido Village drive Day 8 Hanle to Leh OR Terido to Teriphu to Terido to Leh Day 9 Back home Ladakh Taxi Drivers Contacts: discoverwithdheeraj.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-ladakh-srinagar-leh-manali/

So when Can i plan earliest for safe trip from Srinagar to ladhak, .. (I want to explore snow and snow cut highway too ) (PS: will be travelling with family, so safety would be priority too ). Thanks

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

You need to keep the plan flexible for snowcut highway kind of experience. Since safety is priority then snowcut highway road conditions should not be your priority and you should plan the trip with safety in mind only when road conditions satbilize. Check my monthly updates playlist and check videos from April, May, June.. you will understand the hardships and uncertainities of the region during that time.

Well you need to plan early in the season and keep the plan flexible. May is when road starts to get open and become stable for travel to some extent. Manali Leh highway usually opens around first week of June or end of May. So first two weeks of June you will be able to enjoy snow at passes and lot of snow around Baralacha La pass on Manali leh highway

First of all, I love your blog and videos, you give very useful tips and very well explained. Me and my husband, we were planning a trip from Manali to Leh by car, we have to return back to our country the 2rd August. On July 18 we would arrive in Dharamasala, visit for 1 or 2 days and then take an overnight bus to Manali. From there, our plan was to rent a car without a driver, to go to Leh, stopping in different villages and enjoying the route (we do not drive motorcycles). However, as you indicate, this is not possible, but we would have to take a car with driver. My question was: first, if these dates would be suitable to go by car, or would there be much chance that because of the rains we could not pass by the road? in that case, would you recommend any other option? On the other hand, I wanted to ask if it is possible to go without a driver, and where we could rent that car? in case it is not possible, how could we organize the trip so that our driver could stop in different places? Thank you very much, we are looking forward to the trip.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

thank you for liking my content. Well, as you are aware that you will have to rent a local taxi with driver who will drop you to Leh and then in Leh you need to again rent a local Leh taxi for further sightseeing in Ladakh. The dates you have chosen are around monsoon time and rains are very unpredicatble up there during that time. You will have to reach Leh before the rains hit the region and that is all weather dependented. Once in Ladakh, rains do not affect that much unless there is exception. Usually the problem begins end of July and August is a big NO usually from my side for road travel in the Himalayas. Self-drive rentals cars for Ladakh are much more headache than convenience due to taxi union rules. Better rent taxi only as suggested above and well the driver will stop anywhere you want because that will be your private taxi. Most of the drivers are very nice unless you go through some big travel companies who pay them for Point 1 to Point 2 only. So, better hire a local driver who acts as a guide and help you explore to fullest. It will be your taxi and you can ask them to stop anywhere and any number of times. You can even clear that up before booking. You can always get in touch with Leh based tour provider Ken [phone], [phone]. Instagram: @unpluggedlife , Email: [e-mail] If needed, you can refer my name to him and he shall do his best to offer best experience. For taxi in Ladakh, Chamba - 09596979829 / 09906999808. A very, very nice and humble person from Ladakh. Knows me pretty well, more like another family friend in Ladakh. A bit of a shy personality, but he will do whatever is possibly best to make your journey successful. When you refer Dheeraj Sharma or my KZbin Channel being a reader/viewer of it, I am sure he will do his best possible effort in every way for rates and services.

Usually the problem begins end of July and August is a big NO usually from my side for road travel in the Himalayas. Self-drive rentals cars for Ladakh are much more headache than convenience due to taxi union rules. Better rent taxi only as suggested above and well the driver will stop anywhere you want because that will be your private taxi. Most of the drivers are very nice unless you go through some big travel companies who pay them for Point 1 to Point 2 only. So, better hire a local driver who acts as a guide and help you explore to fullest. It will be your taxi and you can ask them to stop anywhere and any number of times. You can even clear that up before booking. You can always get in touch with Leh based tour provider Ken [phone], [phone].

A very, very nice and humble person from Ladakh. Knows me pretty well, more like another family friend in Ladakh. A bit of a shy personality, but he will do whatever is possibly best to make your journey successful. When you refer Dheeraj Sharma or my KZbin Channel being a reader/viewer of it, I am sure he will do his best possible effort in every way for rates and services.

Travelling by middle of April around 20th me and wife. Both in fifties. Want to visit Tso Mori also. What will be the climate in ladakh

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Dilip ji, June middle yu mean?

[@vismayvinod5651]

Hi sir first of all i love your videos It's very informative and interesting . I am from Bangalore and I am planning to visit leh this month, the places i have on my list are Leh town, Nubra valley, Tso moriri and puga. Is it possible to do this many places in 7 days. And i want to rent a bike to go to Nubra valley. I have watched your videos and have a rough idea about it but wanted your personal opinion on this.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Vismay, thank you so much. I just published the April 2023 update video, I will suggest you check it. Roads within Ladakh are open to visit above places but it will be cold especially for a bike ride unless you have already done such cold climate rides.

[@runanath4767]

Hi Vinod, When are you planning your ladakh trip? Are you doing by road or by flight.. we are two people from bangalore planning by july first week..

[@poonam.dheeraj02]

Sir if we go lehladakh in april first week and buy road jamu and kashmir with are children what were the wether conditions and it is save with childrens . plz reply me .

[@poonam.dheeraj02]

And many of them say that it is not safe with children because there is oxygen problems

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Poonam, for answer on taking Kids on Ladakh trip, plz check my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIWci2yMjduIga8 for a detailed answer. Regarding April first week traveling to Ladakh by road, you may be able to do it from Srinagar side only in case road is safe to travel. Sometimes that early the road is not that safe to travel to Ladakh.

[@kevivsuper]

Dheeraj Bhai, such good videos - it was a great help in planning our visit last month. Just had one question - we visited Pangong and found the lake beautiful. However, we did see a lot of people taking pictures on the 'tongues' on the lake and very close to the water. Just a general query - any idea how deep the lake is at these places close to the shores? If it's very deep, then it would be a dangerous proposition - without any lifeguard on the shores, and hospitals quite far off!! For your thoughts.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Thanks a lot.. near the shores the water isn’t that deep and shallow because some moron people have driven cars inside the lake too and the tires werent even submerged.. So, I am assuming from it that water isn’t that deep near the shore but lakes can be always misleading and instead of gradual depth there could be a sudden abyss too…

[@kevivsuper]

@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank You!

[@user-ht2du8yn2u]

Thank you for the detailed video. I am planning to visit in the first week of April so just wanted to know if the lakes would be still frozen ?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Most likely yes lakes will be frozen, if not fully at least partially frozen

[@user-ht2du8yn2u]

@@discoverwithdheeraj Thank you so much!! What would be an ideal time to visit the pristine blue lake? Also, one more thing - What's the speciality of early April season?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

June (good) to September (best) barring months of monsoon. Early April you see Apricot Blossom in Sham Valley, cold conditions meaning much more snow at passes, less tourists.

Hi dheeraj, Have planned from 1st may to 10th may will all the roads be open from leh-srinagar highway ? saw ur videos pretty more informational and exceptional

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Hi Dheeraj, your videos are very helpful and appreciate you sharing your experiences with travellers. I'm planning to visit during Sep-Oct. wanted to check if in october the sky remains overcast or does it remain clear? The reason I'm asking is because I'm keen to shoot the night sky and clouds play a spoiler in that. Please let me know if chances of clear sky is more in Sep last 2 week or in october 1 st week as well. Thanks.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Mostly skies are clear during Sept October months.. just there are with couple of spells/days of snowfall in September October

Hello, which side of the flight would i get best view from delhi to leh A or F?

Hey Riya, you won't go wrong either way. If you are traveling both ways by flight then pick one side both ways and stick to it. You will get to see views of both sides.

[@kaverid966]

Hi.. Thank you for this... Can you tell Manali to Leh road condition is good now in 2023...

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

It depends on time you travel. Generally in season time roads are much improved every year and in September you get best road conditions.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

This seems OK to me, just ensure there are no rains predictions when you travel from Leh to Kargil to Srinagar...as lower hills in monsoon could be pretty bad after Kargil.

[@mvichare1]

That was very useful information sir . I am planning Ladakh trip in end of March and will return back in first week of April.. I heard pangyong lake will be freezed .. is that correct .. please help

Hello. I am planning for a bike ride in Zanskar valley & Hanle-Umling-la this year. My question is do we need any Permit to travel to these destinations and if yes, what is the process of getting it?

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Since 2021 end of season, Indian do not need any permit anymore in Ladakh for regular sightseeing. You just need to pay the Ladakh Environment Fee on the website and carry the receipt of it. Here is the link where you need to pay it: www.lahdclehpermit.in/register-as-domestic Current Ladakh environment fees are broken down as following: 1. Environment Fee = Rs 400 one time 2. Wildlife Fee/Something = Rs 20 per day 3. Red Cross Fee = Rs 50 one time but Optional, you don’t need to pay if you don’t want to. DO NOT confuse environment fee receipt with permit. You just need to carry this fee receipt, hard copy or soft copy. This receipt will be checked at various checkposts. Hence, people are confusing it with permit but this is just verification that you have paid the fees.

[@VICKY.Clicks]

Can you make a detailed road conditions video.. (which part is still off road and which one is developed into tarmac this year.) Map reference would be great.

[@discoverwithdheeraj]

Vicky, I would want to, may be by end of season if get a chance to execute the trip for most latest conditions
