A trip idea
Build the route around two full days of acclimatisation and keep a day flexible for weather. A Leh and Indus Valley trip fits well without lengthy high-pass drives.
Best general season
June to September is a general planning window, subject to road and weather conditions.
Planning a visit
Follow the District Leh acclimatisation advisory. Allow at least 48 hours in Leh before travelling to higher areas and confirm route restrictions and any permits before departure.
This route suits travellers comfortable with a high-altitude itinerary. For fewer days, keep one base and choose the outings that matter most to your group.
