Best Time To Visit Ladakh

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

Best time to visit Ladakh by bike or cab is during the month of June. The months from mid-September to mid-October are considered to be the best season to enjoy the stunning beauty of the landscape of Ladakh and Leh. The month of March is considered to be the best time to visit Ladakh for adventure trip. While the months from April to mid-May remain the peak season for Ladakh tourism. During the months from August to December, it gets quite risky and dangerous to visit Ladakh as monsoon and winter take a toll on Ladakh during these months. Hotel, flights and food may get expensive during the peak season in Ladakh. If you are planning to visit here during these months, book your tickets in advance. 

Bike Trip to Ladakh:

Best time to visit Ladakh on bike is during summer season. Summers in Ladakh are characterized by comfortable, and cozy weather with sun shining over the snow clad mountain peaks. The plain sailing roads without any blockage by landslides or snowfall, also make it the best time to visit Ladakh on bike. During winters and monsoons, it becomes quite difficult to travel by road. Warmer weather in summer months (May through early October) makes sightseeing in Ladakh quite enjoyable, and one can cover almost all major Ladakh places such as Pangong Lake and Nubra Valley that are open for tourists.

The best time to visit Ladakh by road is from mid-May to September as the Leh Manali Highway opens up via Rohtang Pass. Mid-September to mid-October is an amazing time to visit Leh and Ladakh as the place is permeated in flamboyance through the Srinagar-Leh as well as Manali-Leh roads. Road conditions are better during this time. For enthusiastic bikers, the best time to visit Ladakh on bike is during the months of July and August as all passes and streets to the land are opened and the land turns exceptionally welcoming. Let’s have a look at the segregation to decide on which is the best month to visit Ladakh.

April - June ( 2°C to 19°C ) :

With the month of April, travel passes for tourists are open. Hence, summer season is the best time to visit Ladakh. The weather during this time is crisp and the skies are clear, offering splendid views that can be enjoyed through a ride on bike or jeep.

During the late April, the region sees the melting of the lakes, and one can witness a spread of brilliant colours everywhere. And, with the beginning of the month of June, one can hop on an excursion to Rohtang Pass as well.

July - September ( 3°C to 17°C ):

Experiencing irregular heavy rainfall during the monsoon season starting from the month of July, it is advised not to get on an excursion to Ladakh this time. With frequent landslides, roadblocks, and snow slides, it becomes quite difficult to walk or drive here.

Though, the month of September can be considered as a good time to visit Ladakh. For, the precipitation stops and there is hardly any humidity.

October - March (-9°C to 2°C) :

With temperature dropping to minus degrees, it is not recommended to visit Ladakh during the winter season. Covered with snow, driving through roads can be quite dangerous.

However, adventure lovers can choose to hop on Chadar Trek during the months of January to March.

Festivals in Ladakh

Festivals enhance the beauty of any destination, and that is true for Ladakh as well. The deserted land of Ladakh comes to life during these festivities wherein the natives gather around to become a part of the celebrations. Monasteries of Ladakh become venues of celebration where the locals perform famous folk dances, songs, and dramas of the region. Some of the popular festivals in Ladakh are -

Hemis Festival: Hemis festival is an important festival of Ladakh organised in June to celebrate the birthday of Guru Padmasambhava, who founded Tantric Buddhism in Tibet. Monks can be seen wearing sparkling brocade robes and colourful face masks. They perform a dance-drama displaying the life, principles, and mission of the Guru.

Thiksey, Karsha and Spituk Gustor: This two-day festival is celebrated in different months every year in Thiksey, Karsha, and Spituk. These Gustors signify the victory of good over evil. The performers wear variety of masks while they perform, and these masks symbolise gods, goddesses, guardians, and protectors. As the festival comes to an end, the evils are figuratively killed, and their images are burned.

Dosmoche Festival: Celebrated in May in the regions of Liker, Deskit monastery, and Leh, this is one of the most renowned festivals of Ladakh. The courtyard of the Leh Palace is the venue to enjoy this two-day festival in Leh. It is celebrated in the beginning as well as at the end of the Tibetian Year. Monks make their offerings using crosses made of threads to turn evil and ghosts into protectors and guardians of people against natural calamities that might occur in the following year.

Ladakh Harvest Festival: The Ladakh Harvest Festival commences from 1st September and lasts for 15 days thereafter. The natives celebrate their rich diversity with enthusiasm and vigor. Locals take part in dance performances, wedding ceremonies, drama, music, and many other forms of art.

Climate in Ladakh

Summer Season in Ladakh

Summer (April-June): With the mountains warming up and the land blooming, it is a tourist season in this region. The landscape is quite barren framed by the snow-capped mountains giving it a beauty that is like no other, making it best season to visit Leh. The lakes begin to melt (Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri) painting the landscape with beautiful colors. Travelling by road is a popular way to see this region. The Passes Khardung La and Chang La are popular routes to take granting breathtaking vistas to be captured by the cameras. The Rohtang and Baralacha Pass are an ideal way to complete the circuit. This is a trip of a lifetime and the best time to visit Leh by road, many traversing it on a motorbike consider it a rite of passage.

Monsoon Season in Ladakh

Monsoon (July-August): With the heavy rains and with all hilly terrains, this region too gets blocked. Tourism shuts down due to the landslides and the ‘moving’ earth. Even though there is a different sort of beauty granted to the region during this season, only tourists in four wheel vehicles brave this region.

Winter Season in Ladakh

Early Winter (September-October): This is the time for trekking and exploring the region on foot making it the best time to visit Leh Ladakh. The cool mountain breeze begins to set into the region. Occasional snowfall lends the region a dreamy glow. This along with the water bodies turning the most alluring shades of blue, the region seems to transform into a dream land turning this time best season to visit Leh Ladakh.

    Anjankumaar's 4 days trip to Ladakh

    It was a very great experience where my family throughly enjoyed the trip. Places we visited in Jaisalmer, Jaipur and Jodhpur were absolutely fantastic. Hotels was very neat, clean and excellent. Cab and driver were mostly great when they travelled with us and taken us all to such good places.

    Md's 10 days trip to Ladakh

    The trip waa designed beautifully and captured the significant parts of Ladakh which we desired to travel. Hotels were good except Grand Yasmin which was too busy to close rather than take good care of guests, food options were limited and okayish. The Pal and Organic Boutique were good, only the re
    ception at the Pal is very novice. Trip Trail personnel Mr Aman was very helpful throughout the trip addressing to any hiccups encountered during the trip. Shoutout to Mr Rigen Gurmet who is an exceptional driver and very kind. Thank you Trip Trail for making this trip a memorable one. Khardungla Pass and view points, camel ride in Hunder, Ride from Nubra to Pangong, freezing glacier water, thrilling roads of Changla Pass covered in snow

    Riju Mathew

    New delhi

    Riju's 6 days trip to Ladakh

    I am particularly not happy with the fact that TravelTriangle is deducting extra charges on use of debit card for online payments. Such charges don't prevail in any portals if its debit card but do exist if using credit card. On reaching out to Lazy Yatra coordinator, they have put the entire blame
    on Travel Triangle on such deductions and only travel triangle can return the extra Considering this and below points, it would be good to have some equivalent money reimbursed on the same. I understand that mistakes happen but i am willing to let it go if you suitably reimburse and recommend your services to my friends who are now asking me for travel reference to Leh. Other points were: 1. Out of 4 hotels that I stayed during the trip, the Misty hills cabins and Shanti nest hotel were the only ones that had professional decorum to provide bottled waters and rooms were quite ready to occupy. 2. I was very specific to coordinator Mr.Akhil to provide hotel rooms near or within Leh market for my last day but it didn't execute well. 3. Some of the places listed in my itinerary have been under renovation for months but still such places were included and I eventually didn't visit that place. 4. Guru residency even charged for 2 water bottles that were provided on my first day stay at hotel which should have been complimentary. No welcome drink was provided. Regards, RM 9677212048

    Akanksha's 9 days trip to Ladakh

    We had a really memorable, delightful experience during our Ladakh trip, all thanks to Mr Santa Singh ji for his constant support and assistance throughout the trip. He provided us with excellent quality hotels even in such remote locations, great transport facility and a well planned itinerary that
    covered most of the places in an organised places. He even organised a special cab for us to watch the lovely sound and light show at the Hall of Fame in Leh. Moreover, all this was done at a reasonable, competitive cost!! Would definitely recommend Travo guider and Travel Triangle for sure for all future trips!! Thanks a lot!

    AVINASH KAMATH

    New delhi

    Avinash's 5 days trip to Ladakh

    We had a great overall experience with TripTrail. In Kashmir and Ladakh due to cab driver union, the cab and driver changed. The first driver allocated to us was amazing. His name was Nubroo cab number ending with 9072. He was very helpful in explaining about places and he even assisted us in taki
    ng our pics. I give 5 star for Nubroo (cab number ending 9072). He was with us from leh to nubra valley then to pangong tso and then back to leh. The second cab driver Aga (cab number ending with 9070) was not good. He was an escapist. He kept asking if we can avoid visiting the places in itinerary and kept showing disinterested in driving and even lied to us openly saying this place is not good let us skip it. Such drivers give bad experience to tourists. He was there with us from leh to srinagar. The Srinagar driver Shakeel (cab number ending with 6470) was average. First day he tried his best to be professional. Next day onwards he showed minor disinterest and he even argued with Indian Army official in one incident. I feel such things is common among drivers in that region. He was with us for Kashmir local sight seeing. Hotels booked by TripTrail was very good. We loved the choice of hotels provided by them. 1. Sangaylay palace at leh - excellent rooms and food. 2. Organic boutique hunder - excellent view and organic food. 3. Royal foster pangong - here the owner of cottage was very helpful. 4. Chutuk heights Kargil - excellent view of Suru river. 5. Dawn house boat dal lake srinagar - excellent houseboat experience 6. Hotel blossom Srinagar - Good and safe environment. The travel agent was very helpful and always available on call. Overall I am happy that I chose triptrail.

    Ezioassassin's 6 days trip to Ladakh

    The overall trip experience was excellent. Amaan was very helpful and cooperative. The driver was very friendly, good, and supportive. But the car provided by the union was not good. It was an old Innova that was shaking at a speed above 80 kmph. Due to this, he was driving below 80 kmph, and our jo
    urney from one destination to another took more time. It was a great experience booking with TripTrail and Travel Triangle. River rafting at Sangam point in zanskar river. Atv and camel ride in Nubra, Pangong lake.
