Travel Tips For Tourists In Ladakh

  • Once in Ladakh, take complete rest for the first 24 hours. This allows the body to get used to the high altitude and its demands.

  • Acute Mountain Sickness requires immediate medical attention. Some can even belief threatening.

  • Drink plenty of fluids and water to keep the body hydrated and to avoid mountain sickness.

  • A manual camera may be more likely to give you a satisfying experience photographing the place rather than a digital one.

  • Foreign climbing expeditions are required to obtain permission from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation for climbing all listed peaks. A booking fee, based on the height and popularity of the allotted peak, is charged and a Liaison Officer is assigned to every climbing team.

  • When undertaking a Jeep Safari, dehydrated foods, potable water, juices, tents and other camping gear, spares for the jeep, first-aid-kit, and fuel need to be carried at all times. Acclimatisation and obtaining the Inner Line Permit for Ladakh are the other issues to be considered while planning a jeep safari into Ladakh.

  • The 10 essential things one requires while mountaineering are: a map, compass, extra clothing for changing, matches, fire starter, knife or multi purpose camp tool, sunglasses, extra food, first aid kit, headlamp or flashlight with extra batteries, sunscreen, water filter or other method of water purification and whistle as a crucial security item to keep handy when exploring unpredictable terrain.
