Apart from these nationals, permits will also not be issued to journalists, diplomats and people of official business. All these travelers will not have to get their protected area permits issued directly from Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi. Below is a picture of the notice pasted on a a board in DC office Leh; reading no permits for Bangladeshi tourists in Ladakh; and for people from 4 other countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11235 size-full\" title=\"no permits for bangladeshi tourists in ladakh\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals.jpg\" alt=\"no permits for bangladeshi tourists in ladakh\" width=\"800\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals-768x676.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/no-permit-for-bangladeshi-nationals-585x515.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What this necessarily means that as a tourist from either of these countries, you can travel on Manali Leh highway; Srinagar Leh highway and to Leh city. But you cannot go any further towards places like Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri and Batalik stretch. Zanskar valley however will remain to be an exemption and you will be free to travel here. This decision will be applicable for both Ladakh and Spiti Valley; and you cannot travel to either of these places without first getting the permit from home ministry, Delhi.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Permits for Bangladeshi Tourists In Ladakh<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This decision I believe will disappoint the Bangladeshi tourists the most. As a matter of fact, Bangladeshi nationals were not issued permits from DC office Leh in the past as well. Even back then, tourists were required to get their PAP from Home Ministry only. However, after the recent boost in tourism in Ladakh, this changed and DC office Leh started to issue PAP. The decision however has once again been rolled back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not sure why this rule was implemented but it was done around the same time when Chushul route and Hanle were taken off limits for Indian citizens as well. Rising security concerns in Ladakh after increased Chinese incursions; and tourists crossing over irresponsibly to areas they are not supposed to go in; could be the reason behind. I do however hope that it will change in future but until then, visiting Ladakh and Spiti will remain to be a hassle for Bangladeshi citizens.
