The tour involves some mild trekking in areas like Nubra Valley or Pangong Lake, but nothing too challenging. The trip is more about sightseeing, cultural exploration, and experiencing Ladakh’s natural beauty.

Is altitude sickness a concern during the trip?

To prevent this, it's crucial to acclimatize properly, drink plenty of water, and avoid overexertion during the first 24-48 hours.

What kind of clothing should I pack for Leh-Ladakh?

Due to the region’s extreme weather conditions, it is important to pack for varying temperatures. Bring warm clothes, including thermal wear, jackets, gloves, and hats, even in summer months.
