Hallo, I intend to visit ladakh on 1st september. Will go leh by road (bus/cab) from Manali. Can you confirm how gradual altitude gain with crossing 4 passes help me to acclimatise in lesser time so that I can travel to remote areas from Leh on 2nd day after arrival. In fact its my 2nd ladakh trip after 20 years. Last I ve visited Ladakh in july 2003. Please advice.
Bro maine 1st june se 11 june tak ladakh trip kiya.Apki jo acclimatization wali tips hai sabhi ko follow kiya aur hame kisi ko koi problem nai ayi.Thanx bro for making such informative videos.🙏🙏
Thank You so much Dheeraj bhai for all this info... Your vlogs are extremely informative.. I was planning a workation from Leh and following was 1 of the 2 schedules: August 13-30: 9 days to travel, 9 work OR September 7-30: 10 days to travel, remaining working Earlier i was planning in august, but after viewing your vlog on the best time to visit - September having clear skies.. is end of September very cold and khardungla sometimes is closed ? I called up a couple of hotels/hostels and they said cost difference is not much.. so you can plan anytime as per your interest or convenience
Dheeraj Sir, love you. Just I saw your Umlingla pass vlog. It's wonderful. Sir, it's my wish to drive from Pune to Umlingla. I don't have your contact numbers. I would like to talk to you. Pleaae share your numbers. Thanks.
As per taxi/bike union rule the private car or bike should be under your name or parents name or someone whom you can prove relation with. Checking of private cars/bikes, especially in a small group, are pretty rare these days and this suggestion is a precautionary mesaure only. When you take a friend’s bike/car or some else's bike/car (not your immediate family/same surname), then you should carry a NOC document from them stating that the bike/car is for private use only, he is the owner of the bike/car with RC number, and he authorizes you with your DL number to ride/drive the bike/car personally for this Leh Ladakh trip. There is no guarantee but this NOC document will be helpful in case someone stops you and objects the case of RC not being under your name. Solving the matter amicably is highly recommended unless you want to go into the struggle and spoil the rest of the vacation and money for the trip. Sample NOC document link: tinyurl.com/5yrjthkr
@Dheeraj ..Your passion for Ladakh and the Himalayas is truly remarkable. I have yet to encounter someone as dedicated as you are. The way you consistently create content and produce videos is awe-inspiring.
thank you so much bhai, I am trying whatever best is possible in my limits to promote safe and responsible travel in the Himalayas.. Ladakh is so vast that I am yet to jump on to other areas of High Himalayas with just one video a week :D... Wish one day I could start sharing more :)
Hi Dheeraj! Could you please tell me that is there any restriction for a person above 60 years of age travelling to Leh Ladakh by his own car? Say, if I want to take my father(61 yrs age) with me straight from West Bengal to Ladakh by road, will be there any issue related to permit and all while entering Leh from the Military pov?
Sandip da, there is no such rule or restriction for senior citizens. But plz check my video on Leh Ladakh Trip with Old Age Parents / Pets / Asthma / High Blood Pressure [Spiti Valley - Zanskar] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jxN7smgxvKY.html
@@discoverwithdheeraj Yes Dheeraj! I have already gone through those videos..with pet and with old parents…On those videos, actually this particular information which I asked you was not there….well…Thanks for your response😊..Sounds good that there is no such restrictions..😊
We visited Leh Ladakh in last week of May through flight from Delhi and followed your video instructions. It was great trip and can't forget how beautiful Ladakh is . P.S. Acclimatization to Leh conditions is not a joke...! Whosoever is going do follow instructions and rest requirements!! Following guidelines and basic checks we all 15 people had a great healthy memorable trip:)
Choose Airtel Postpaid, Jio Internet is better but Airtel is not that behind.. in next few years it seems Jio will have more coverage.. having said that for most major places you wont go wrong with either… so if you already have any one of them then take whatever you have
Hello Dheeraj, can rented Motorcycles from Delhi be used to travel to Leh and other places in Ladakh? Will the local bike rental organizations in Leh, Ladakh cause any nuisances?

Dheeraj bhai, can a obese/overweighht person (around 140 kgs) with no medical Illness plan to go to ladakh? I mean if he takes care of precautions related AMS and also don't even want travel to higher altitudes like Nubra, Pangong... just to stay in Leh and explore Leh after 2 days of acmilitization... Is it safe?
Bhai, I have not heard/read about such a corelation with obesity and high altitude. It is better consult with a doctor just to be on safe side. However, for AMS, just for Leh as well if you are flying directly, just keep body well hydrated, do not exert a lot and keep light activity and it shall be OK.
Lovely and informative videos! Please advise: We are going on a 10 day trip in late August. Would u recommend going to Puga and Tsokar on the way from Tsomoriri to Leh if we are traveling by Innova. Are the roads good and is it worth traveling to these places after all that travel? So much conflicting information we have heard on that! We are going on a 10 day trip to Leh, Nubra (Diskit, Hunder, Turtuk, Siachen base camp), Pangong, Hanle, and Tsomoriri in late August. Also, first day, we will acclimatize in Ule; is that fine? Thanks in advance!!
Hi Komal, you can travel that route just to see Taglangla - tso Kar side.. I won't call that super amazing after all that you have already seen, especially after Hanle region.. But anyways it adds about an hr extra time only to the journey so you may take it or skip it in case you want to reach Leh faster.. Chumathang route as well as Tso Kar route have its own beauty but if I have to compare then I will prefer Tso Kar route as it does offer a remoteness element plus Taglang La pass.. The negative part is bad road and longer drive...
@@discoverwithdheeraj Thanks for the prompt and useful reply. I really appreciate it. I have one more question. Do you think Tsomoriri is worth it in a 10-day trip or should I do a buffer day in Leh instead, if I have done Pangong also, in a 10-day trip? We do not have a buffer day in our itinerary, but we are travelling by flight and not by road to Leh. Have heard so many conflicting opinions on Tsomoriri and Leh buffer day that I'm not sure which option to take. Would really appreciate your valuable opinion on this. Thanks so much! @DevilOnWheelsBlog
Hello Bhai, I completed my Ladakh ride yesterday and returned home safely. Thanks to you and your videos I was able to prepare well. The information provided on the channel were very accurate. Thank you bhai for everything. Let me know in case I can help any fellow travelers in any way possible.

Thank you so much... If anyone deserves this, it is you, it is you, it is you! Keep it up. The information you provide is invaluable. So, this is just a small token of appreciation :) :3
Ohh my god.. Manu, thank you so much for this token of appreciation.. it really means a lot to me!! It will be invested back in building this channel better and better.. again, much much thanks 🙏
Do we need to acclimatise in leh if we go by srinagar leh highway and took stop at srinagar, kargil and then reached leh. Or can we left for nubra the next day when reached leh
Great video Dheeraj ji. Have been a subscriber of yours from a long time. Was planning to visit Ladakh from Delhi on 23rd June. Wanted to know if there can be any problems on the way through Manali and Keylong as the weather prediction for the next few days shows thunderstorms and thundershowers. Will be traveling in a Skoda Kushaq 1.5, so could it be a limiting factor in those conditions? Also do you suspect there will be a closure of Atal tunnel during this period? Also would be great to know about the police checking situation in Darcha is right now (if they let people through without any delays or not). Thanks!
Hello bro finally again attempting foe leh, going on 28th June, has got ecology fee done. Kindly tell do I need any more permits or permissions for personal car also???
Since 2021 end of season, Indian do not need any permit anymore in Ladakh for regular sightseeing. You just need to pay the Ladakh Environment Fee on the website and carry the receipt of it. Here is the link where you need to pay it: www.lahdclehpermit.in/register-as-domestic Current Ladakh environment fees are broken down as following: 1. Environment Fee = Rs 400 one time 2. Wildlife Fee/Something = Rs 20 per day 3. Red Cross Fee = Rs 50 one time but Optional, you don’t need to pay if you don’t want to. DO NOT confuse environment fee receipt with permit. You just need to carry this fee receipt, hard copy or soft copy. This receipt will be checked at various checkposts. Hence, people are confusing it with permit but this is just verification that you have paid the fees.
Aapne ekdm sahi kaha..adventure..hi hai..Sir main bachcho ke sath chhattisgarh se car fronx se ladakh gya tha .may june me....road ekdm deadly hai..pangong lake ke pas road pura tuta hua hai...pangong to nubra wala shyok road to rula rha tha...per puri ummid thi aise road ki..taiyaar the..but wapsi leh manali highway se hui...car snowfall me fans gai thi..raat ko 11 bje gata loops cross kiya...sarachu me 2 din fans gya..thoda mood kharab hua lekin.. ab wapis aa chuka hu..ab photo dekh ke bahut proud feel ho rha.. ek baat ka dukh hai ki ladakh ke taxi wale mushkil condition me help nhi krte...baki log bahut achche hain

Hello Sir.. first off all a huge appreciation for all the informative videos that you put up. Big respect for it. Had a query regarding my upcoming trip next week. We would be flying from Delhi, so how would be the acclimatization if we stay first 2 nights at Leh, then move towards Nubra and stay there for another 2 night and then ascend to Pangong and stay for a night and move back to Leh next day. Thank you. Some inputs would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot, your plan looks good to me and balanced when planning trip by air. You can also watch my video on Acclimatization Tips herE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XijLqr6O0Y.html
Thank you so much, Sir !! It was a wonderful trip, although missed out on Pangong due to bad weather. Perhaps, it was meant to be for the next time, hopefully. The list you provided regarding various cab drivers helped a lot too !! Thank you again !!
bhai aajkal around Rs 4800-5000 per day type chal rahe hain Spiti mein taxi prices. Baaki ye link check karlo local driver k contacts k liye: devilonwheels.com/list-of-taxi-drivers-for-spiti-valley-kinnaur-valley/

Komal, Ladakh is a rain-shadow region and if you are directly flying to Leh it is generally OK to plan a trip to Ladakh in July. Monsoon is mostly in the lower hills. You should watch my video of Ladakh in Rains: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TQjBw5pCGx8.html
Very informative video, not only this one rather every video of your about Ladakh. Thank you. Planning to visit soon and using your video as the ultimate guide for preparation.
मै 25 सितंबर को श्रीनगर होकर लद्दाख जाने वाला हूं । क्या यह समय लद्दाख घूमने के लिए उचित है ? श्रीनगर होकर लद्दाख जाने पर ms का खतरा ज्यादा रहता है ? सितंबर लास्ट मे होटल और तीन लोगों के लिए छोटी गाड़ी का रेट क्या होगा
September end badiya time hai Ladakh jaane ka.. bahut badiya colors milenge aapko wahan. Srinagar se jaane mein AMS ka khatra bahut kam rehta hai.. par aap Acclimatization ki jo tips hain meri unko follow karte rahein.. Hotels aur taxi wahin book kar sakte ho

Bhai sorry to know you fell ill.. but I am very happy to know that you have recovered from illness.. I wish you a stronger comeback and healthier years to come.. take care bhai and well, Thank you so much for watching the videos.. Such connection keeps me producing more such content.
Hello Dheeraj Sir, We are planning Ladakh trip by Innova in July 2023. Below will be our itinerary. I am more concerned about day 4 because of AMS. Please guide. Day 1 - Srinagar Day 2 - Kargil Day 3 - Leh Day 4 - Hundar Day 5 - Pangong TSO Day 6 - Hanle Day 7 - TSO Moriri Day 8 - Leh
I will highly recommend that you add a day of rest in Leh in Day 4. Without doing so, you may be OK, you may not be OK, no one can ascertain. But doing so will surely decrease the chances of AMS.
Btw just saw all your videos I'm still confused, I want to cover tso moriri, khardungla, nubra, umlingla , pangong and if there's anything left i want to know. Time I've almost 12-14 days a 350 cc honda and planning on carrying 9-10 l spare fuel rest i know the itinerary loved your video the itinerary one was also very informative.
Brother, you have seen the video of itinerary and if you are confused please find the itinerary below day wise that you can follow for 14 days from delhi: Day 1 | Delhi - Jammu Day 2 | Jammu - Srinagar Day 3 | Srinagar - Kargil Day 4 | Kargil - Leh Day 5 | Leh Rest day Day 6 | Leh to Diskit/Hunder in Nubra Day 7 | Turtuk Day Trip Day 8 | Diskit/Hunder to Pangong Lake Day 9 | Pangong Lake to Hanle Day 10 | Umling La Day trip from Hanle Day 11 | Hanle to Tso Moriri Day 12 | Tso Moriri to Sarchu Day 13 | Sarchu to Manali Day 14 | Manali to Delhi For petrol availability, do check my video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Oksvn5jBwU.html
Hi How about the weather in ladhak, nubra now a days. I am travelling around 24th June. Should we pack all winter clothes. Or summer clothes also? Please suggest
Carry layers of light woollens at the very least.. Don't rely completely on summer clothes. Though weather has started getting warmer, but one overcast day or elongated stay at Passes and lakes will have cold mornings/evenings.. So, you should carry clothes that you can wear in layers including a jacket for emergency.
We used the manali leh higway in 2018, though we didn't face any kind of altitude sickness but the climb was gradual till ladakh. And when we reached khardungla we saw people using oxygen cans and stuff. And This time to be extra precautions pulmonologist saath leke jaaraha 😅😅 दुर्घटना से तयारी भली .
Yes NIpun bhai, you can plan for a solo drive.. whereever you feel that you need company, lot of tourists travel on the route in season time so you can always tag along with them
A few days back I was reading your blogs, liked the one about gangotri and harshil very much , Any suggestions for me where to stay in harshil in March, a good homestay with decent rates is what I required
Arup bhai, I have always stayed in GMVNs mostly in Harsil and Kumaon region.. they are decent, good views/locations and reasonable prices expecially with off season discounts.
@dheeraj, great work.. Im planning manali leh srinagar circuit from next week, Heard that manali leh highway is closed, could u help me knowing the present situation.
Thanks sir for sharing your experience.. I'm planning for spiti in first week of July, just wanted to know your general opinion whether it's good to travel in that month.. No one can predict the weather this early for July but just want to know your general opinion..
Julley sir, Excellent video Sir, this is a very useful one for such new Ladakh lovers like me , It will prove to be the most helpful and suggestive one from you , as usual Thank you so very much sir
@@discoverwithdheeraj yes sir , indeed this is going to be the most eye opener video in this segment, So many myths are surely going to be washed away from our dimaag Julley sir
Hi @Dheeraj, thanks for sharing such useful information. I have planed Ladakh trip from upcoming 6th to 16th July. I have 2 questions - how’s the latest climate conditions and considering it what all things I must carry/pack? Next question is, being veg person, are there considerable options throughout the trip except main township like Leh? Just for additional information, my trip route is from Delhi to Ladakh to shrinagar. Earliest response will be appreciated.
Here are my inputs Climate will be pleasant in Ladakh, you should check my video on this topic What clothes to carry on Leh Ladakh Trip 2023, Ladakh Trip Packing List, Packing Clothes for Ladakh ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dfRWsGfFxU0.html
Hi Dheeraj The vdo was good, completely agree to all the points. 1 question- Is it now mandatory or only recomendatory to stay in Leh for 2 nights, even if I am driving from Manali, staying in Keylong. Have been to Ladakh twice earlier Thanks
Bhai it is recommended to stay two nights to have a successful trip.. Administration has made it mandatory but for road travelers there isn’t a way to enforce it.. for air travelers they sometimes check the boarding pass when they check for receipts.. also blacked out dates in Environmental fee application since the day of arrival in Leh… Last year there was a rise in casualties in Ladakh due to AMS and high tourist rush… so this was put in place by administration. However, road travelers cannot be enforced if they enter wrong date of arrival… However even by traveling road, one evening you will reach Leh to stay overnight and then you MUST always relax in Leh for next day and stay overnight. Better safe than sorry..
Thanks bhai for sharing the update.. bus will surely help so many others looking for budget travel.. well, I know the feeling when people ask me "Dheeraj bhai, honeymoon k liye Ladakh ja rahe hain, tips de do.. 😂😂"
Hi sir, Im travelling to leh solo by public transportation on july 9th please suggest budget hostels and also local sight seeing sharing taxi's information pls 🙏
@@discoverwithdheeraj we are just very worried about AMS and We will take the steps you have advised and pray to Bhagwan that our trip to Ladak goes as memorable as want.
Jyotsna, plz don't think too much about AMS, you are aware so that is all you need.. just stay well hydrated, take it slow, less exertion and that's pretty much it.
@@discoverwithdheeraj thank you for your encouragement and every day we read your informative clips so we have a good holiday specially when we r coming from tropical Kenya and our city MOMBASA at o level Y
