The ideal time to visit Ladakh is from May to October when the Manali-Leh highway and Khardung La pass are open. July-August offers the most stable weather. The Pangong Lake route via Chang La is best from June to September. Winter (November to March) is accessible only from Srinagar but extremely cold.

There is no mandatory medical certificate requirement. However, we strongly recommend consulting your doctor before travel if you have heart conditions, respiratory issues, high blood pressure, or anaemia. Carry all prescription medicines in adequate quantity.
