Is altitude sickness a concern in Ladakh?

Yes. Leh sits at 3,524 metres and travelers arriving by flight experience an immediate altitude change. A full rest day in Leh on arrival is built into every Alkof Holidays Ladakh itinerary before any sightseeing or travel to higher areas begins. Light activity, no alcohol, and adequate hydration during the first 24 significantly reduce the risk. Travelers with pre-existing heart or respiratory conditions should consult a doctor before booking.

Do I need a permit to visit Ladakh?

Foreign nationals require an Permit to visit several areas including Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tso Moriri, Hanle, and Turtuk. At Alkof Holidays, we provide Ladakh tours with all required permits including Ladakh Environment Fee, Wild life charges, Red Cross Fee, and Inner line permit.

How many days do I need for a Ladakh tour?

A minimum of 7 days is needed to cover Leh, Nubra Valley, and Pangong Lake at a pace that includes an acclimatization day in Leh on arrival. To add Tso Moriri, Turtuk, or the Zanskar Valley, a 10 to 12 day itinerary is more appropriate.
