When to Plan your Leh Ladakh tour?
If
you are thinking to visit Leh this season , you must check the Leh
Ladakh weather before doing so and a detailed weather forecast for the
next 10-12 days. Overall , the best time to visit Leh Ladakh in the
whole year is the Summers(June till September)
- Summers ,When there aren’t really many options to travel in India due to monsoons, Ladakh is perfect place to be at! All passes and roads to Leh Ladakh that include the route- ex- Srinagar/ ex- Manali/ Airways are Open and running in Summers.
- Temperature is very moderate and reaches upto a highest of 30-32 degrees. On an average day in Leh Ladakh temperature is approximately 25 degree celcius. This season offers spectacular views, and is very inviting for bikers and photographers. You can access all the regions in and around.
- During the summer Leh ladakh tour travellers can also try the off-beat routes as well for an exotic experience.
- Monsoons – Monsoons here don't occur on any particular time. It does rains sometimes, but just in pieces!
Thus,
Summers(June to September) is the best time to visit Leh Ladakh.
Further you always should research the current road conditions and
weather details before planning your next Leh Ladakh tour.
When not to Visit Leh Ladakh?
According to Ladakh tourism department, Months (Oct to May) are usually very cold here. Snowfalls
, frost bites , snow covered roads , landslides and many more such
things, makes Ladakh very unapproachable, inhospitable and not safe to
travel by road. Usually, temperatures are below 0 degree celsius and its snow everywhere. So if exploring Leh Ladakh is on your mind, it is recommended you plan your Leh Ladakh tour after these months pass by.
However,
there are constant travelers from round the globe even in winters at
Leh, these are people who just wish to spend sometime in snow, since air
fares are pretty cheap and the city is totally white!

If
you are also looking for some snow, then hit the city during this time.
It is recommended to opt for a centrally heated accommodation and know
that the only places to visit in leh ladakh in this season are upto Khardungla only and not Nubra.
Airport |
You
can visit Pangong , but only as a day trip till March since staying
there overnight in these months would be just too much of cold to
handle. Also, since the roadways are closed, know that hoteliers/ guest
houses are usually low on food stocks so, you should not expect a lot of
food varieties and that too much higher costs.
Conclusion
On
an ending note, i would like to conclude that only the Summers is the
best time to visit Leh Ladakh and is recommended to all the people who
are doing the ladakh tour to explore more and more virgin places of the
area.
