Hello,

We are planning a trip from Kathmandu to Leh in the middle of May. We want to see as much as possible for that small time pdriod and we are going to capture everything with our cameras.

Can we make that trip as a hole? What is the road condition and where can we stop to take some videos on the road?

If you have any recomandations for us we will be very glad to hear them :-)

Thanks to all !

Hi all,

Pangong Tso is one of most beautiful lake in Ladakh. It's located 6 hours away from the city of Leh. As it commonly known, traveling to Pangong Lake required permit and the permit will being issues only to group of two or more people. Since I am traveling solo now, I'm really dependant to other travelers (I know it's not yet atouristic season now in Ladakh) in order to get the permit and thus fullfill my long-time dream of seeing Pangong Tso. If any of you planning to go to Pangong on 17/4 or 18/4, please let me know. I will check this space from time to time, or you also welcomes to PM me.

Cheers
Abdul Qadir

I planned my dream trip to Ladakh for this coming August but my companions have refused to accompany me,I have a ready itinerary,a ready plan in place and I know almost everything one needs to know before going to Ladakh.

Hello. I live in Kolkata with my father and mother. They are 56 and 46 year old respectively. I am 16. Leh has always engrossed me and I desire to visit Leh and Ladakh after my examinations in June. I am a photography and astronomy enthusiast and Leh is just the perfect place to do both! I've heard that one can get to see the Milky Way (Oh My God!) during the power-cuts (which are frequent, as I've heard) from the roof of a hotel. Then there are the numerous other beautiful places like the Pangong Lake, Nubra valley etc. However, there is this thing which is troubling me-Acute Mountain Sickness. My parents aren't young anymore and my mother as well as I has breathing difficulties. Will it be alright if we visit Leh? Because, truly, since 3 Idiots, there is no other thing in mind except the blue of Pangong Tso. And the thought that I'll get to see the milky way, adds to it. Please help me, sirs and madams. You can make my dream come true. Thank You, Anusha.

Hi, My friend and I are intending to go Kashmir in December, hopefully to catch some snow. This will be our first time to India and we are a little lost as to how we should go about planning so will be grateful for some guidance here. 1. Is December an ok time to go Kashmir and for snow? 2. I was told that Kashmir is a high security area and it will be better if I book a tour to the places I would like to go. Is that the case? And if so, should I book a tour before I leave on my trip and can I leave it to only after I arrive? 3. We are contemplating an 8 days trip which isn't very much time. Should we spend all our time in Kashmir? Or should I visit the surrounding areas too? 4. What will be the best way to fly into Kashmir? From Delhi? Thanks a lot in advance for the advice.
