Idiots govern this city
Sep 13, 2023 10:35 AM 164 Views (via Mobile)

Leh is overcrowded compared to only 5 years ago. to make matters worse a braindead monkeylike police enforces no parking while blocking half the road BUT AT THE SAME TIME disallowing parking there. yes, they waste space everywhere around the market to trap tourist vehicles who do park there and cash in fines.

Leh is a lovely city, best was Nubra valley. The stay in Nubra valley camps was brilliant with acceptable food and best assistance. The outing from Leh to Nubra valley and Pangong Lake has amazing perspectives. While return we encountered snowfall, which resembled clincher. Stay in Pangong Lake was simply normal. Yet, by and large accumulated lifetime recollections.

HEAVEN ON EARTH.....LEH!
Nov 17, 2018 03:29 PM 3770 Views (via Android App)

Leh ladakh is one of the must visit destination if you are a nature lover. It is the only place where you get a desert as well as snow. There are beautiful landscapes, snow covered mountains, rivers with crystal clear water and most important is the temperature. I was there in sep 2018 and avg temp during day was around 3C and night it dropped to 0C or below. The world famous Pangong Lake is absolutely amazing. It is home to some of the best species of bird. It is surrounded by mountains and has a mesmerising view. Apart from this Nubra Valley is the place exactly opposite to Pangong. It is surrounded by sand dunes. The camels there are different species having 2 humps.


Unlike Srinagar, people in leh are co operative. They survive on tourism which is in full flow only for 6 months. Remaining 6 months there is snowfall and temp constantly dipping.


If you are a adventure lover this is a must visit place.There are misconcepts abt climate and people but I can assure tht there is nothing dangerous like in srinagar.

Some of popular places of leh, if you will go their you will get to see those places like magnetic mountain, zozilla darra, kargil and it is not very good to go their in winters, as it is one of the coolest places on earth. So I would recommed you to go their once in your life and feel the real pleasure of nature

Is LEH a good place to visit?
Oct 04, 2018 08:24 PM 2988 Views

I must rather say Leh is a great place to visit. If you are a bike rider then it is a must visit destination in india. For past many decades many bikers went over there to explore the destination. People think it's very difficult to ride over there, I agree till some extent but it requires some basic training before going over there. The best time to visit over there during a year is between May to September.


What I will prefer you before going to such a long ride you better start going to some done trips of nearly 200-300 around once in a month this will make your body adapt to long rides.

Most adventurous leh ladhak
May 20, 2018 01:22 PM 2696 Views (via Android App)

Hii , everyone if you want to visit thrilled and adventurous place in India my suggestion is to visit leh ladhak. If you want to go with family choose air travel but if you want to go with friends rent Royal Enfield and start from New Delhi and go through the mighty chilled Manali and rohtang pass is must visit place there , where you find snow throught the year. But the most important thing is to carry all essentials like camping tent, lighter, swiss knife, food , fuel, etc once you reached leh plaese visit chardar trek lake which is the only frozen lake in india and the other lake named TSO which is shown in the movie 3 idiots Nubra valley is also a nice place to hangout.

Beautiful and excellent nature. At the time winter it's better to visit this place. You'll see full of fog, actual snowfall and the temperature will be in minus degree.But old people and others have health problem should take precautions and there will be immediate assistance if you get any problem. it's better if you opt air travel and you can also take the help of tour operator so that it'll be easy for us to plan accordingly. Always have woollen clothes, gloves and jackets handy. Children and old people should be careful.Leh trip iwll be full of surprises and adventures.


You can cover all the places like shanti stupa, leh palace, Nubra valley, Khardongla pass, kargil, pangong lake and all.


Your trip will be completed with reasonable amount only if you go with a tour operator and you'll enjoy this if you go with your age group people.

Leh ~Heaven on Earth
Apr 26, 2018 05:55 PM 3508 Views (via Android App)

Leh, the city of monasteries. This place is widely famous for it's beautiful monasteries as well as the local areas near this city. This city comes in the ladakh region and is the only place where you can have internet services and all the other services that are must for a better living.


Everyone knows reaching to this city won't be easy by roads and it remains closed for the 7 months of a year. The only way to get here in winters is by air and for summer and rainy seasons the road routes are also available.


The leh manali highway and the leh srinagar highway are the two routes that will take you to the leh city by roads.


It is a place where the temperature usually stays between the range of max 20/25°C to somewhere as low as some degrees below 0°C. In the evening time it usually stays between 15-20°C and at night it drops to below 5°C.


The place may experience snowfall but it's very few chances of raining over here. You always need to wear a light woolen no matter whether it's summer or winters.


The place consists of beautiful monasteries and side seeing. This city will take you to most of the high altitude passes of the world's. The festivals of ladakh are very amazing and it can be called as the major attraction for the tourists.


In the end, we can say like it is a city of monasteries and due to its high altitude location, it remains cold throughout the year. One can face snowfall at any time of the year.


This region is also called the white desert because of the heavy snow in the region.


Its Leh

I have been to leh with my family in December and it was extremely cold but also very fun and many new things to see like a sewer covered with ice. Thats amazing. I have also went to leh in summers and in summers there are many new things that you have done for the first time like rock climbing, ice skating, a magnetic mountain ride and much more. In my opinion Leh is one of the best place to visit and also I forgot to tell meeting with the people of leh will give an experience of talking with a foreigner.

Season to travel in leh.
Mar 04, 2018 09:28 AM 2147 Views (via Mobile)

I am staying in Leh for last two years. The bets season for traveling in Leh is Apr to last of Oct. But this time the prices increase too much.as example which bike u can borrow in off season in Rs.1000/- that will be Rs. 2500-/ per day. As the same way all facilities will expensive. In winter season the cost of travelling New Delhi to Leh(up& down, by flight) is almost 5000K but in summer time it reached approx 30000K(15000K per side) per one person. Is that not too much? In same process Hotel. Restaurants, car cost I mean all facilities going up. Yes if you love biking in mountain the summer is excellent. because u can't biking in cold. If u want to come here u can mail me for any assistance, I will pleasure to assist u.my mail id is "maity.sayan713@gmail.com" one more thing when u will come please don't forget to take a BSNL sim for mobile, and it should be post paid. B'cos only Airtel and BSNL work here. And most of place Airtel not work. In the main city(leh city) the Airtel provided 4G network but not all places in Leh valley. BSNL provide u 3G network maximum place. I saying for a post paid connection because, in J&K state no other states prepaid SIM connection not work. So we'll come to Leh.

Pangong lake
Dec 21, 2017 12:32 PM 2671 Views

This lake is situated at the edge of heart. The serene beauty will hire your soul, pounding with a reflection on the green . and bluish water situated at an altitude of 4250 m, Don't you remember the last scene of( 3 IDIOTS), that exact place YES: you will find that yellow scooter to drive with a romantic view of Pangong TSO .


LODGING; Lodging at Pangong is totally fun, cause you find tents and small room to stay . Freezing temp. will never make your adrenaline go low.Price is 1500 per room for 4 person . People prefer to stay one night for the Sunrise and the changing water color from greenish to bluish, Yeah the water seems to change its color due to the change in angle of the rays hitting the water surface.


Near to the lake military high alert bulletproof boats are always on duty, this may be a new thing to watch there.


FOODING: the fooding price is high, normally 4 person fooding per day can cost you around 3000 -3500 .


Don't miss to visit the military camps. Well. I still remember the warm welcome by one of the Ranger's officer. While going there you will come across the JAB TAK HAI JAAN " Shahrukh khan; bridge crossing shooting place, along with the locals and cattleman with yaks and horse .


IMP. POINTS; Most of the traveler face mechanical problems in their bikes while hiking on such challenging way.So if you face some of these, locals can arrange 207 trucks .


Comment, for more info regarding Lodging and boarding and contact information at pangong lake and all leh tour.
