We traveled from Delhi to Leh while spending ample time sightseeing on the Manali Leh highway. My health took a hit during our stay at Tso Kar and we had to spend the next 2 days taking rest and visiting the hospital in Leh. We also used these two days for local sightseeing in Leh and arranging permits for our trip ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will talk about our Day 5 and 6 in this post.

We got up late and rushed to the DC\u2019s office for our permits, only to find out that there was some local holiday because of which the office would only open after lunch. Disappointed, we made our way to the Pumpernickel German Bakery for some brunch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was still not feeling totally fit but did not give that much attention to it. After brunch, we decided to visit our favorite jacket shop to buy some new ones. Alas, while Aarti bought a new jacket, I couldn\u2019t find the type I needed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Day 5 &#8211; Leh, Hospital, Friends, Dinners &amp; Permits<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We then went to the DC\u2019s office again, which was now open. I filed for the permit, which was to be collected in 1.5 hours. We then went back to Old Fort Road for some lunch at The Tibetan Kitchen. Thereafter, I dropped Aarti at the hotel, collected the permit, and came back to join her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By this time, I was feeling quite sick, and on checking found out that I had a mild fever. Visiting a doctor was the next logical move, given our long and hopefully strenuous journey ahead, and so we set out for the Leh hospital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ladakh-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Leh Ladakh \u2013 A Complete Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Visiting a Hospital in Leh<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hospital is run by the Government and is hence free. We had to pay a nominal charge of Rs. 2 and then went to see the doctor. She checked the oxygen in my blood and my blood pressure, all of which were okay. She then checked my fever, which had miraculously disappeared in the brief 20-minute journey from the hotel to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since my stomach was also upset, the doctor concluded that I must have some stomach infection which caused the fever. What I definitely did not have was AMS, and both of us sighed in relief. The doctor advised us to stay in Leh for at least 2 more days before we pushed off towards Zanskar. She prescribed some medicines, which we bought from the chemist opposite the hospital.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/clothes-for-ladakh-trip-pack\/\">Clothes to Pack for Ladakh Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was feeling much better already knowing that it was not AMS I was suffering from, but just some random stomach infection. The doctor had prescribed antibiotics, and I knew they would take care of the infection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I felt as good as new and was all set for leaving the next day as per plan, but Aarti would not hear of it. She wanted me to rest and take it easy for one more day. And as you know, there is no way of winning an argument with a woman. So one more day in Leh it would have to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stok Kangri at sunset<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28446 size-full\" title=\"stok kangri peak\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1.jpg\" alt=\"stok kangri peak\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/stok-kangri-peak-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We went out for dinner again with our friends that evening, though I stuck to some simple soup and bread.
