Considering that you will be entering the land of high passes from one of the nearby low-altitude areas, your first two days will necessarily be spent in acclimatizing to the changes in weather and temperature. Depending on your availability and budget, you can design the Ladakh trip, but do make sure it lasts for a minimum of seven days to get the best of experience.

What kind of clothes should we pack?

Answer: Going to Ladakh means getting you prepared for low temperatures and the chill of the winds. Ladakh enjoys a cool ambience all throughout the year, and so you should be well prepared for the cold. Depending on the time of your travel, the temperatures will vary, but it will be less than what you experience in the cities. Summers are pleasantly warm, but winters are freezing cold. If you're doing a Ladakh tour on a bike, it will feel even colder as you will be completely exposed to the wind and cold climate.

Hence, we recommend you pack woolen clothes which should include a pair of thermals (innerwear), warm parkas or waterproof jackets, woolen caps, a few pairs of woolen socks, gloves, and warm insulated boots or hiking boots. You can even wear clothes in layers as it becomes a little hot during the day and quite cold by evening.
