So the idea should be to see as much as possible and trust me, there is plenty to see there. You must focus on the journey and not the destination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike most of the other tourist spots, Ladakh is a place where your entire journey is something that you should enjoy. Vistas change at every corner and it is a feast for eyes at every turn of the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not a journey where you can just doze off in the vehicle and wake up when you reach the destination. Instead, this is a journey that is an adventure in itself. A journey that you can not afford to miss any part of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the post below, I will talk in detail on how you can plan your own itinerary for Ladakh trip.\u00a0If you have any other questions, \u00a0you can\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vargiskhan\/\">contact me on Instagram<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and I will be happy to answer.

It is a popular destination among both travel enthusiasts and locals. On its banks, there is a three-story pagoda-like temple dedicated to sage Prashar. The lake is considered a holy place, and locals from nearby areas continue to visit it all year long. It is located at a height of 2,730 meters, and as per the legend, the true depth of the lake is still unknown.\n\nThis place is open to visitors throughout the year, including the winter months. While the majority of tourism occurs in summer, many people also visit the lake when it is completely covered in a thick sheet of snow.\n\nI was recently on a road trip to Parvati Valley and on the last day of the trip, we went to Prashar Lake and camped there for the night.

It is a haven for backpackers and solo travelers as plenty of budget accommodation is available. Tosh offers beautiful unexplored trails and popular but scenic hiking routes with pristine landscapes. For people not looking to hike or trek too much, this is a perfect place where you can spend some time relaxing and admiring the serene landscapes all around the valley.\n\nI recently was on a road trip to Parvati Valley and spent a few days in Kasol, exploring the nearby regions.

Visit<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For your first visit to Ladakh, I will recommend that you start from Srinagar. The biggest reason behind doing so will be <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/dealing-acute-mountain-sickness-ladakh\/\">acute mountain sickness<\/a><\/strong>. When you travel to Leh from Srinagar, the gain in altitude is gradual and this allows more time for your body to adjust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, if you travel from Manali, the gain in altitude is a bit sudden. On Day 1, you are in the plains, sitting comfortably at your home. You then begin your trip and on day 2 you are in Manali at a height of 2000 meters. From there, you straightaway jump to either 3000 meters at Keylong or 4,290 meters at Sarchu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ladakh-travel-guide\/\"><strong>How to Plan a Trip to Leh Ladakh<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to this very reason, the majority of the people traveling from Manali to Leh experience high altitude sickness. Keeping this in mind, I will draft out a sample itinerary for Ladakh from Srinagar and return via Manali.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31662 size-full\" title=\"itinerary for ladakh\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1.jpg\" alt=\"itinerary for ladakh\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-14-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Ideal_Itinerary_for_Ladakh\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An Ideal Itinerary for Ladakh<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will suggest an example of an itinerary that can be followed by all kinds of tourists. Whether or not you can stick to this itinerary to the last detail will depend on a lot of factors; like your mode of travel and how many days you have in hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it should at least get you started. You can add or remove places or days from here as you seem convenient. For the sake of this article, I will assume that you are starting from Delhi and traveling by your own vehicle. If your starting point is not Delhi, then the journey for the first and last day will change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">This itinerary is more for a person who is traveling by his own vehicle; either by a car or motorcycle; or even a privately rented taxi. If you are traveling by public transport or a shared cab, it will be hard to follow this plan. For public transport, I recommend that you read <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/plan-budget-trip-to-ladakh-using-public-transport-services\/\"><strong>How to Plan a Budget Trip to Ladakh using Public Transport Services<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Required_for_Leh_Ladakh_Trip\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Time Required for Leh Ladakh Trip<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my opinion, a minimum of 14 days is a must to fully enjoy Ladakh without rushing yourself. But then not everyone can afford to be away from their regular lives for 2 weeks altogether.<\/p>\n<p class=\"grid-title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will plan this itinerary for two weeks but if you have lesser time in hand, feel free to ask in the comments section below and I will be glad to help you out with your itinerary for Ladakh for a lesser number of days. If you would rather start from Manali, just follow the same plan the other way around.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delhi_to_Jammu_Day_1\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Delhi to Jammu : Day 1<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Total distance covered: 590 kilometers<\/li>\n<li>Travel Time: 12 hours depending on your speed and breaks<\/li>\n<li>Several hotels at Jammu and you will have no trouble finding accommodation in any budget range.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jammu_%E2%80%93_Patnitop_%E2%80%93_Srinagar_Day_2\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Jammu \u2013 Patnitop \u2013 Srinagar : <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Day 2<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Total distance covered \u2013 300 kilometers<\/li>\n<li>Travel Time \u2013 10 hours<\/li>\n<li>Visit Dal Lake and enjoy a Shikara ride.

You can modify the travel plan above at your convenience but do keep the following points in mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31660 size-full\" title=\"itinerary for ladakh\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9.jpg\" alt=\"itinerary for ladakh\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-9-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Plan_Your_Own_Itinerary_for_Ladakh\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How to Plan Your Own Itinerary for Ladakh<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Manali to Leh can be covered in 2 days as well, you really should give this road 3 days to enjoy it at its fullest. Take a look at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-leh-highway-guide\/\">Manali Leh Highway Route Guide<\/a><\/strong> for more complete details on this part of the trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Srinagar Leh highway must be covered in a minimum of 2 days. This is not at all a 1-day journey. Please take a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/travelguides\/ladakh\/srinagar_leh_travel_guide.html\"><strong>Srinagar to Leh Highway Route Guide<\/strong><\/a> to read about this route in detail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You really need to consider and prepare yourself for AMS which will hit you sooner or later if this is your first trip to a high-altitude place. Please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/dealing-acute-mountain-sickness-ladakh\/\">How to Handle Acute Mountain Sickness in Ladakh <\/a><\/strong>to know what the symptoms are and how can they be avoided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are traveling to Leh from Manali, do not go to Karzok (Tso Moriri) while on your way. Reach Leh first and then come back to visit Tso Moriri or take the alternate Chushul route. Karzok is at a very high altitude and AMS will definitely ruin the fun which is the last thing you want on this trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another point is of Inner Line Permits without which you cannot go to Karzok. To get these permits, you anyways will have to go to Leh first.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Itinerary_for_Nubra_Valley\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Itinerary for Nubra Valley<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nubra Valley can actually be covered in a day if you are short on time. Some people tell me that they do not plan to visit Nubra and my advice always is that they must.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reason is that you are anyways going to spend a day visiting Khardung so why not start a little early and stretch your drive to the beautiful Nubra Valley? It is definitely worth it. Just start really early from Leh and return by late evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are not short on time, then a night stay at any of the villages in Nubra Valley is highly recommended. For details on stay choices and sightseeing, you can take a look at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/leh-nubra-valley-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip from Leh to Nubra Valley<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accommodation at Nubra is available in almost every village here, either in the form of a hotel\/guest house or paying guests. Diskit has the highest number of hotels so you may want to stay there for the night.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Itinerary_for_Pangong_Tso\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Itinerary for Pangong Tso<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like Nubra Valley, the journey to Pangong Tso can also be done in a day if you started really early from Leh but my advice is against that. If you are covering this route in a day, then all that you will do is just reach Pangong, spend a few minutes there, and drive back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pangong is not a place where you can just touch and go. It deserves at least one evening of your life. A night stay at the lake comes very highly recommended. Take a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/travelguides\/ladakh\/leh_pangong_tso_travel_guide.html\"><strong>How to Plan a Trip to Pangong Tso <\/strong><\/a>to read in detail about the route and sightseeing involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are planning to cover Changthang Valley, that is to reach Tso Moriri from Pangong Tso, then you need to keep at least 2 days in hand. Though the distance is not that great, the roads are so bad that you can not finish this journey in a day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31658 size-full\" title=\"shyok road\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"shyok road\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-2-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pangong_to_Tso_Moriri_via_Chushul\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pangong to Tso Moriri via Chushul<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No matter how early you started from Pangong, you will definitely end up riding or driving in the dark if you attempt to reach Karzok from Pangong the same day. This is very dangerous and I advise everyone against it. I have had a first-hand experience with this when we risked getting lost in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ideal itinerary is to include Hanle in your permits. Start from Pangong, reach Loma, take a turn towards Hanle, and spend the night there. The next day, track back from Hanle to Loma and then continue to Karzok. For complete route information, please take a look at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/pangong-tso-to-tso-moriri-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip from Pangong Tso to Tso Moriri<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Itinerary_for_Zanskar_Valley\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Itinerary for Zanskar Valley<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are planning to include Zanskar in your itinerary for Ladakh, then you need to have a minimum of 2 days to cover this region. Reach Kargil from Srinagar or Leh on Day 1, go to Padum on Day 2 and stay there for the night, Come back to Kargil on Day 3, and either go to Srinagar or Leh on Day 4.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This journey needs a minimum of 4 days and any less than that would be a rushed drive or ride which is not at all advised. I have talked about this entire route in detail in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kargil-to-padum-travel-guide\/\">How to Travel from Kargil to Padum<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are not traveling in your self-owned vehicle, then you can find public transport on both the Manali &#8211; Leh, and Srinagar &#8211; Leh highways in the form of shared taxis.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flying_to_Leh\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Flying to Leh<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are flying to Leh, the above-mentioned itinerary and tips for local sightseeing still apply. The only added factor is AMS. You must stay in Leh for at least a day to let your body get used to high altitude.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The order of visits should be Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri, and Zanskar. This way your body will not suddenly start acting up due to high altitude sickness.\u00a0If you want to take a look at an example of an itinerary, please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ideal-ladakh-itinerary-flying-leh\/\">An Ideal Itinerary if you are Flying to Leh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hotels are available in Leh in plenty and in every price range. For budget calculation, assume a daily charge of Rs. 1000 &#8211; Rs. 1500 per day at the least in Leh City and also other places in Ladakh. It can go down or up a little depending on your time of travel but you should assume this number to calculate your overall accommodation cost of the trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31659 size-full\" title=\"lahaul valley\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"lahaul valley\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ladakh-4-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trip_Cost\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Trip Cost<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your trip is on a tight budget, then shared taxis are your best bet but visiting the nearby regions can become a pain. For people visiting on a motorcycle, a 2 weeks trip, covering the entire Ladakh, including fuel, accommodation, and food can easily be capped between 15-20k.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are traveling in a four-wheeler, replace the fuel charges according to your own car&#8217;s mileage and you will get the idea.
