Every journey to Ladakh is an adventure. Fly above the majestic Himalayas or drive through some of the world's highest mountain passes, each route brings its own scenery, altitude and rhythm.
Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh is the easiest entry point for travellers who want to save time and begin their Ladakh journey from the capital town.
The flight is short, but the altitude is real. Plan your first day gently.
The two classic roads into Ladakh are the Srinagar - Leh Highway and the Manali - Leh Highway. Both are scenic, seasonal and best planned with time buffers.
