Leh Travel Forum

Hi,

I am traveling to Leh from July 17-26 -- that's 9 days and i was wondering if that is enough time to spend the first day acclimatizing and then still have time to see Leh, around Leh, and plan trips to Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley and maybe somewhere else?

Also I am a woman traveling alone and I wanted to know how easy is it to meet other travelers to share jeeps and taxis with for these longer trips?

Can anyone recommend travel agents in Leh I should meet to help plan my Ladakh travel?

Also, what about guest houses in Leh? I was considering Siala Guesthouse which is about 600 Rs. for a single but does anyone know of any that they stayed at that they really liked and would highly recommend? My budget is up till 600 Rs./night.

Also, should I book from Delhi or should I get there and then find a place? Or is that going to interfere with the acclimatizing??

I would love to do Pangong lake as an overnight trip -- is that possible?

Thank you in advance for your advice!!!

Great to know u r travelling to Leh.. i had been there last year and it was one of my most beautiful traveling experience.
I dont know if its really safe traveling alone since u r a girl...now with respect to finding travel mate..i m sure u can find many travelers..better would be find travel mates in manaili itself...u can share Jeep or Scorpio or traxx for traveling to leh...its gonna be 18 hrs difficult journey via sarchu...its beautiful enroute but be prepared for rains too..which might convert ur trip into 2 days ..u shall be starting ur day at 4 in morning and reaching leh city by around 11 pm...well i m sure u dont need to book ur hotel from delhi as u will find many in Leh. u will get very decent rooms for the budget u mentioned.u dont need any help from travel agents..u just need to book urself for a taxi from manali to leh..find hotel in leh...make ur daily plans for traveling around leh..from the centre of the city(market). u will find many service operators.u can take up white water rafting in ravi sutlej or mountain biking from kardungla pass at 18000 ft for 40 km down to leh city ..its one of a experince in life..
if u r tough i dont think u will find problem acclimatizing urself ...pangong is must do...i had been there on bike for a day...not sure if its too good for night as its very windy...its a difficult terrain...so be careful as i had fallen of the bike...just sharing my experience...dont be scared:) u can visit many monastaries there ..major one would be thiksey , hemis, spituk to name a few.

Its not very expensive place to travel...just be careful what u go for..if u need any help..would love to share...have a great time...

Ur travel plans made me once think to travel again to leh..which i surely wanna do again but maybe not this year as tied up with work..

cheers
