Good to know

High altitude is the big one: acclimatise, hydrate, and carry permits.

Do’s in Ladakh & Kashmir

  • Spend 24–48 hrs acclimatising in Leh before high passes (avoids altitude sickness).
  • Carry a photo ID and inner-line permits for Nubra, Pangong and Hanle.
  • Carry enough cash: ATMs are scarce and often out of service.
  • Pack proper layers; nights are freezing even in summer.
  • Drink plenty of water and walk slowly on the first day.

Don’ts in Ladakh & Kashmir

  • Don't over-exert on arrival day. Altitude sickness is real.
  • Don't rely on your phone; only postpaid (BSNL/Jio) works in many areas.
  • Don't litter. Carry your trash back; the ecosystem is fragile.
  • Don't drink alcohol at altitude before you've acclimatised.
