Honest Travel Advisory
Who this Leh Ladakh: Nubra and Pangong itinerary is NOT for
- •Anyone who wants to skip the rest days: Flying straight into Leh at 3,500 m is the most common way to get altitude sickness. The two slow days before the passes are not negotiable.
- •Anyone with a heart or lung condition: Take medical advice before any trip above 3,500 m, then talk to us.
If any of these apply to your party, speak to us and we will adapt the route.
