Leh Ladakh Tour Packages

Leh Ladakh tour package price guide (2026)

Packages on this page start at ₹15,500 per person. Ladakh's season is short, hotel supply in Leh is limited and vehicles are hired with driver for the whole trip, so prices are higher than a Himachal holiday of the same length. The bands below are per person on twin sharing with breakfast and dinner, a private vehicle, permits and an oxygen cylinder on board, excluding flights.

Add for flights: Ahmedabad–Delhi–Leh return fares are usually ₹18,000–35,000 per person depending on month; the Delhi–Leh sector alone runs ₹6,000–15,000 one way and is cheapest in April–May and September–October, highest in June and the Diwali week. Usually extra on the ground: monastery entry fees, camel ride at Hunder, river rafting on the Zanskar, ATV rides at Nubra, lunches on drive days, hotel night in Delhi if you choose to break the journey, and any oxygen refills beyond the cylinder we provide. Every quote shows inclusions and exclusions side by side.

How to reach Leh from Ahmedabad

• Fly via Delhi (recommended): Ahmedabad–Delhi takes about 1 h 30 min; Delhi–Leh about 1 h 20 min. Flights into Leh operate only in the morning because afternoon winds and the high-altitude runway make later landings unsafe. A same-day connection means a very early Ahmedabad departure and a tight change; one delay and you lose a Leh night. We therefore recommend flying to Delhi the previous evening, sleeping at an airport hotel and taking the first Leh flight – you arrive by late morning and start acclimatising on time. Mumbai–Leh non-stops operate in season and suit travellers from south Gujarat.
• Leh flight practicalities: baggage allowance is standard domestic, usually 15 kg; the right-hand window on the Delhi–Leh flight gives the mountain view. Winter flights (December–February) are prone to weather cancellations; summer flights are reliable.
• By road – Manali–Leh: about 475 km over Baralacha La and Tanglang La, usually open from late May or June to October. Done over two days with a night at Jispa or Sarchu, it is spectacular but hard on seniors because you sleep high before you have acclimatised. We sell it for fit travellers who fly home from Leh.
• By road – Srinagar–Leh: about 420 km via Zoji La, Kargil and Lamayuru, open roughly from April–May to November–December. A gentler altitude gain than Manali and the better road option for families: fly Ahmedabad–Srinagar, two nights in Kashmir, drive to Leh with a night in Kargil, fly home from Leh.
• In Ladakh: a private Innova Crysta or Xylo with a Ladakhi driver for a family, Tempo Traveller for a larger group. Drive times: Leh–Nubra 5–6 h over Khardung La; Nubra–Pangong 5–6 h by the Shyok road; Pangong–Leh 5–6 h over Chang La; Leh–Tso Moriri 7 h.

Acclimatisation-first Ladakh itineraries

6 nights / 7 days – the family plan (our most-booked Ladakh itinerary)

• Day 0: Evening flight Ahmedabad–Delhi; overnight at an airport hotel.
• Day 1: Morning flight to Leh, arrive by late morning. Complete rest – no sightseeing, no stairs, 3–4 litres of water, light lunch, early dinner. Shanti Stupa at sunset only if everyone feels fine.
• Day 2: Sham Valley, which stays close to Leh's altitude: Hall of Fame, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill, the Sangam of Indus and Zanskar, Alchi or Likir monastery. Back to Leh by 4 pm.
• Day 3: Leh to Nubra Valley over Khardung La (about 5,360 m – a 20-minute stop, no running around). Diskit monastery's giant Buddha, Hunder sand dunes and double-humped camels. Overnight at a Hunder camp or hotel at about 3,100 m – lower than Leh, so everyone sleeps well.
• Day 4: Nubra to Pangong by the Shyok road (5–6 h, packed veg lunch). Afternoon by the lake; overnight at a Pangong camp at 4,350 m with oxygen available.
• Day 5: Sunrise at Pangong, return to Leh over Chang La via Thiksey monastery and Shey palace. Evening free in Leh market.
• Day 6: Leh local – Hemis monastery, Leh Palace, Zanskar rafting for those who want it, shopping; or a free day for anyone who needs it.
• Day 7: Morning flight Leh–Delhi–Ahmedabad.

5 nights / 6 days – honeymoon

Same first two days in Leh with a boutique hotel, then Nubra with a luxury camp at Hunder and a visit to Turtuk village (2½ h further, the last village before the LoC, with apricot orchards) if time allows, Pangong with a lake-view glamping tent and a private dinner, back to Leh via Thiksey, and the flight home. Pangong is the night couples book the trip for; we put it on Day 4, never Day 2.

7 nights / 8 days – complete Ladakh for seniors and parents

The family plan with one extra night in Leh after Pangong, and two changes: Khardung La and Chang La are crossed without a stop if anyone shows symptoms, and the Pangong night can be replaced by a day visit from Tangtse (about 3,900 m), where the camps sit 450 m lower than the lake. Monasteries with long staircases (Thiksey, Diskit) are visited by vehicle to the upper gate. Hotels in Leh are chosen for ground-floor rooms or lifts, and Tso Moriri is not included for travellers above 60 unless they have been fine throughout.

Altitude, oxygen and permits – how we keep families safe in Ladakh

Altitude protocol

• Rest on Day 1, always. Flying straight from sea level to 3,500 m is the hardest part of the trip; the first 24 hours decide everything. We do not sell itineraries that drive to Pangong or Nubra on Day 2.
• Climb high, sleep low. Nubra (3,100 m) comes before Pangong (4,350 m); the high passes are crossed, not lingered on.
• Medication: many doctors prescribe acetazolamide (Diamox) starting the day before arrival; ask your own doctor, especially if you have sulpha allergy, kidney or heart conditions. We do not prescribe, but we remind you to ask.
• In the vehicle: every private vehicle carries a portable oxygen cylinder and a pulse oximeter; our drivers are briefed on AMS symptoms and the nearest medical aid post (army and civil posts exist at Khardung La, Tangtse and Pangong). Leh's SNM hospital has a high-altitude ward.
• Who should think twice: travellers with uncontrolled heart or lung disease, pregnant women and children under about 3–5 years. Healthy seniors in their 60s and 70s complete this trip every season on our 7-night plan.
• What to avoid: alcohol for the first 48 hours, heavy meals, sleeping tablets, and hot showers on the first evening. Drink water constantly.

Permits

• Indian citizens need an Inner Line Permit for Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri, Hanle and the Dah–Hanu villages. It is issued by the Leh district administration online or through registered agents, against a photo ID, with a small environment and wildlife fee per person per day. Umling La and Hanle need an additional special permit.
• We arrange every permit before you land; you carry photocopies of your ID and the permit, which are checked at the posts on each route. The fee is included in your package.
• Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit instead; if your family includes an NRI with a foreign passport, tell us at booking.

Best time to visit Ladakh – month by month with road-opening dates

For Gujarati families the two realistic windows are the May vacation (travel after the 10th for Nubra and Pangong access) and June to September. Diwali in Ladakh is possible and beautiful, but cold – pack for −5°C nights at Pangong and accept that some camps will have closed.

Places to visit in Leh Ladakh

• Pangong Tso: the 134-km lake that changes colour through the day, two-thirds of it in Tibet – the reason most people come.
• Nubra Valley: Diskit monastery and its 32-m Buddha, the Hunder sand dunes with double-humped Bactrian camels, and apricot villages.
• Khardung La: the pass to Nubra at about 5,360 m, with a chai stall and a photo stop – keep it to 20 minutes.
• Turtuk: a Balti village of apricot orchards and stone houses near the LoC, open to tourists since 2010.
• Sham Valley: Magnetic Hill, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, the Indus–Zanskar Sangam, Hall of Fame and Alchi's 11th-century murals – the ideal Day 2.
• Thiksey monastery: the Potala-like hilltop gompa with a 15-m Maitreya Buddha; morning prayers at about 6 am are worth the early start.
• Hemis monastery: Ladakh's largest and richest, with a masked-dance festival usually in June or July.
• Shanti Stupa and Leh Palace: sunset over Leh town and the Stok range.
• Tso Moriri: the quieter high lake at 4,520 m in the Changthang, a 7-hour drive from Leh for 8-night itineraries.
• Lamayuru: the moonland landscape and one of Ladakh's oldest monasteries, on the Srinagar road.
• Zanskar river rafting: a gentle half-day run near the Sangam in summer, fine for children above 12.
• Hanle and Umling La: India's dark-sky reserve and the world's highest motorable road at over 5,800 m – for fit, well-acclimatised travellers with special permits.

Pure-veg and Jain meals, hotels and tips for Gujarati travellers

Meal plan by stop

• Hotel categories: Leh has good 3- and 4-star hotels and a few boutique and luxury properties, mostly with Ladakhi-style rooms and gardens; lifts are rare, so we request ground or first-floor rooms for seniors. Nubra has camps and small hotels at Hunder; Pangong has tented camps from basic to glamping with attached bathrooms and heaters – there are no concrete hotels at the lake by rule.
• Pack: layers – thermal innerwear, fleece, a down or windproof jacket, woollen cap, gloves and sunglasses (UV is intense); lip balm and sunscreen; a reusable bottle; your medicines plus paracetamol, ORS and motion-sickness tablets; a power bank, because camps run generators for limited hours.
• Money and connectivity: carry cash – ATMs exist only in Leh and often run dry. Only postpaid SIMs work in Ladakh; prepaid connections from outside J&K and Ladakh do not. There is no network at Pangong except patchy BSNL and Jio in places; tell your family at home in advance.
• Timings and rules: permit checkpoints close in the evening, so drives start early; drones need permission; plastic bottles are discouraged – Leh has refill stations. Respect monastery dress codes and photography rules.
