Taxi rates in Ladakh
Hiring a private taxi is best when you are either traveling with family or with a group of people to share the cost. If you are traveling alone, then rates of a private taxi will definitely burn a hole in your pocket. Tourist season in Ladakh is limited to only a few months and the locals here try to make the most of it; hence the hikes taxi charges.
For a solo person, traveling by bus or shared taxis is definitely the best choice. Take a look at the article below on how you can plan a solo trip to Ladakh by public transport.
Finding public transport may have been a issue in Ladakh a few years ago but with the recent boost in tourism, it has improved by great margin. The frequency is still not that great; you may not find a bus to a certain place on your scheduled date of travel. However shared taxis run from the main bus stand on everyday basis; and to almost all major tourist locations. Fare of these taxis is somewhat equal to what you will pay if traveling by a Bus. It however can get a little bumpy and uncomfortable. There is always the option of Tourist shared taxi that any travel agent in Leh can arrange; or local shared taxi that run from the bus stand; and used by locals.

🙂 This blog has been really useful
Thank you for your appreciating words. I am glad the information was of help.
Hi Vargis. Do you have any information on buses running between Leh – Deskit and Leh – PangongTso?
Secondly, if we take the taxi option, are there options to share the taxi/cost with other travelers?
Thanks.
