A Tour of LEH | The Capital of Ladakh, India (Part 3)

What an incredible city! Thanks for taking us along on the journey Gabe.

Those are insane cliffs! Watch your step!.

Not only the German trekker, altitude sickness has caused death for many. Resting for initial one day is an advise given to every outsider who visits Ladakh. So, I wrote here few days to take it easy and rest for initial one day.

Your India series is world class, happy folk and clean streets. What month is the best time to visit the area you are in? What vaccines do you need? How much is a visa? Stay safe Gabe.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Summer is definitely a better time to visit Ladakh, when it's warmer. You don't need any vaccines to visit India. Not sure of the latest prices of visas since I have a 10-year visa that I got a few years ago. You can also get evisas online.

*After that hike I think I'd have to "Leh" down.* 😂 - I'll be here all week.

[@Observers00]

International travel is expensive. Would recommend staying in India longer as it's the most interesting & fascinating & affordable one. December.to March is the best for South Asia. This Himalayas series is Amazing. Great effort.Well done

[@truthteller2991]

Yes, he also needs to change style of vlogging. Roaming around cities once in a while is ok but after a while it looks repetitive. Most Indian cities look same .If it is a historical structure , it looks ok too. I being a long time subscriber pointing out means I care of content but may be I dont represent his most subscribers. He also need to put in any country a significant time and not get carried away by some random subscriber to go to that country or that. It does not do justice to country. It is also not a cost effective way. I would support staying a long 6 months + in country as large and diverse as India and plan regions to explore properly. It is not doing justice even to Ladakh by just roaming around Leh. I dont want to say but age is also a factor and he should stsy put in a country for a longer period if that country is large and then he can plan and even have time to book train ticker in advance saving money. He can make some changes by looking a vlog from some other vlogger.

@@MyWrong Yes I know but he could have done in 1 video or 2. I am not being specific of this video.Pressure of subscriber[monetization] puts him to post video frequently while he need not do so to maintain quality content. There is a truth to it. He has to get some monetization going on. So some balance is needed.

[@andrman-traveladventure1591]

Hey Gabriel, I've visited Ladakh back in 2012. There is a palace probably called Stok Palace, it's a bit far from city and from there you can see the Leh city. I highly recommed that spot, I think that's the best view point.

Wow Why did you zoom through the shrine? That looked amazing! That was funny music with more sped up video back down in the streets of Leh. 😂 Amazing scenery. Love it! Sounds like lots more adventure to come!

[@rudolphteperberry3888]

Sad story about the German trekker. Even after hanging around a few days at 3500m, going up to 5359m Khardung La sounds quite a jump. Take it easy if you're planning to go there!

[@lanamortenson8694]

Sad with a strong dose of male ego leading to stupidity thrown in as well. No one else to blame but himself.

[@TheSwede70]

Exactly. That kind of elevation gain without previous acclimatisation is no joke. For anyone. Fitness can be one of the biggest problems.

[@rudolphteperberry3888]

Agreed. I've spent quite a lot of time at high altitude and have on several occasions seen overconfident men with a big ego getting themselves into sticky situations with altitude sickness. Best take an overly cautious approach. For those that feel the need to show off - acclimatise first then you can pick up the pace. Even those elite mountain athletes setting speed ascent records in the big mountains have to acclimatise first. I guess a lot of amateurs don't realise this.

[@ayangdidi5524]

Foreigners traveling at these altitude should have Diamox pills in the pocket to avoid altitude stroke beside resting for some days to get their body acquainted to such high altitude and coldness.

[@rudolphteperberry3888]

@@ayangdidi5524 I carry diamox just in case but have never needed to use it. Agreed it's better to have and not need than to need and not have! I've seen plenty of people taking diamox to aid acclimatisation before even reaching higher altitudes.

[@TheEddieToro]

Play it by ear Gabe. Rajasthan should be mind blowing. Nice tour of the old palace.

[@Ivyslife33]

Interesting place to visit, in reference to the German man story, i live in elevation , i think will be more difficult for people who lives in flat cities but going higher a little be more will be fine ♥️

[@punbomb]

Hey Gabriel, thanks so much for all your recent posts. I spent a few months in Dharamkot in 2011 and was thinking about taking a similar route towards Spiti next year. I think I've decided to head back to Nepal instead just based on limited timing, but it's almost like I've been able to take both trips watching your videos these last few weeks. If you're ever passing through Sacramento while back home, I'd love to buy you a beer. Cheers!

On the subject of altitude sickness, in my experience it is often people who would be regarded as super-fit who suffer from it just as much if not more than the average person. That is just anecdotal from my time spent in the Andes of Peru.

[@parulsinha3092]

I think some people have it and others don't, it doesn't depend on fitness. Same for sea sickness.

[@ageoflove1980]

There are some medications you can take the first couple of days on high altitude. I think it slightly ups your heartbeat or something making sure enough oxygen is taken in. But the best way of course is to travel over land so your body gets the chance to naturally increase its blood cell count.

Ladakh has a lot of variety. Some regions are dry, mountain deserts with double hunchback camels, and others regions have glaciers and rivers. The southern side of Himalayas (India/Nepal) in general is very green with dense forests, while the Northern side (Tibet) is arid with no rainfall.
