Planning a Leh Ladakh trip in August is ideal due to the pleasant weather. Start by booking your flights or planning the road journey from Manali or Srinagar. Ensure you obtain all necessary permits for restricted areas. Pack warm clothes, as nights can be chilly, and don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a first-aid kit. Consider acclimatization with a day or two in Leh before venturing into higher-altitude areas. Plan your itinerary, including visits to Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, monasteries, and local markets. Make accommodation reservations in advance, as this is the peak tourist season. Lastly, stay updated on weather conditions and road closures.
