Reaching Leh during the monsoon season in Ladakh, typically from July to September, can be challenging due to heavy rains and the risk of landslides. However, there are still some options:
By Air: The most reliable way is to fly directly to Leh’s Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, which operates throughout the year and is less affected by weather disruptions.
By Road: You can access Leh by road from Manali, which usually opens in late June or early July. However, it’s essential to check the road conditions and be prepared for possible blockages due to landslides. The Srinagar-Leh Highway is another option, but it can also be affected by rain-induced roadblocks. Ensure you have a flexible itinerary and monitor weather updates for a safer journey.
