Leh Trip Overview
The best time to visit Ladakh is in Summer (April – June). This is when the climate here is most pleasant, with the snow from winter all thawed and balmy weather. During the rest of the year, Manali-Leh highway is not functional and the only operational way is the Srinagar-Leh highway which also gets affected by occasional landslides. The Frozen River Trek, one of the most famous treks here is carried out in the months of December and January along the river Zanskar. Every season in the beautiful stretches of Ladakh is a treat to the wanderer’s soul unless of course there is too much snowfall or a scary blizzard.
