Do I need acclimatization when visiting Leh–Ladakh?

Yes. Leh sits at 10,000+ ft, so you must spend the first 24–48 hours resting in Leh before traveling to Nubra Valley or Pangong Tso. This helps prevent Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS).

What should I pack for a Leh–Ladakh trip?

Pack thermal wear, warm jackets, windproof layers, sturdy boots, sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, gloves, and a basic health kit with AMS medicines. Weather changes are sudden, even in summer.

Does mobile network work in Ladakh? Do cards and ATMs work?

Only postpaid SIM cards work in Ladakh, mainly BSNL/MTNL.Most shops, restaurants, and fuel pumps do not accept cards, and ATMs are scarce. Always carry sufficient cash for the entire trip.

What should I do if I get symptoms of altitude sickness in Leh?

If you feel breathless, dizzy, nauseous, or severely fatigued, visit the Civil Hospital in Leh immediately. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and physical exertion, and stay warm and hydrated.
