When is the best time to travel to Ladakh
The best time to travel to Ladakh depends on your preferences and the experiences you seek. Ladakh offers enchanting sights and activities throughout the year, each season providing unique opportunities:
Summer (April to July): This period is ideal for exploring Ladakh’s stunning landscapes, trekking through lush valleys, and visiting high-altitude lakes like Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri. The temperatures are pleasant, roads are open, and it’s the best time for treks like the Sham Valley trek and Markha trek
Monsoon (July to September): While Ladakh experiences irregular showers during this time, the temperatures are still pleasant, making it a good time to visit if you prefer fewer tourists and comfortable weather. It’s also a great time for trekking and exploring the region with fewer crowds
Winter (October to March): Winter in Ladakh offers a unique experience with frozen lakes, snow-covered landscapes, and the opportunity to witness the elusive snow leopard. Despite the cold temperatures, winter allows for activities like trekking on the frozen Zanskar River and attending monastery festivals. The region can be reached by air all year round, and internal roads remain open, allowing access to places like Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and Tso Moriri Lake
