The short answer

The big choice is how you reach Ladakh. An overland plan from Srinagar spends nights on the road; a fly-in plan starts in Leh and you pay for flights yourself. On our indicative rate card, Leh Ladakh Highlights (fly-in) (fly-in, five nights) is ₹62,499 for two adults in July, and Kashmir + Ladakh (the road from Srinagar, nine nights) is ₹1,02,799. Flights are not in either.

Scope and assumptions
  • Totals are indicative, from our rate card. Two adults sharing a room, Deluxe category, the plan’s standard vehicle, breakfast and dinner, GST in the total.
  • The plans run in the summer season only: June to September for the overland routes, May to September for the fly-in highlights. Passes and roads can change.
  • Time in Leh before going higher is part of how the plans are built. We do not shorten it, and we give no medical advice. Speak to your doctor about altitude.
  • Permits, flights and the flight home are paid separately. We state no permit fees here.
  • Not included: flights or trains to Kashmir, entry and activity tickets, lunches, tips and personal spending.

The Ladakh cost model

A Ladakh trip is priced by nights and by days on the road, and a high-altitude route has long road days. Moving from Srinagar to Leh by road adds nights at Sonmarg and Kargil before you reach Leh. Flying in removes those nights, so a fly-in plan is shorter, and the flight is a separate cost.

Basis: 2 adults, Deluxe stay category, the plan’s standard vehicle. Indicative totals from our rate card; your quote confirms the final price in INR. Each plan’s own inclusions apply.

These plans use a larger vehicle than the Kashmir plans. The standard vehicle is part of the total, and a change in group size can change it. June is Peak on our rate card and July to September are Shoulder.

Remote stops

Nubra, Pangong and Kargil are separate stops with their own stays, and they may differ from a Leh hotel. Facilities such as heating and hot water are confirmed in the quote and are not assumed. See stays in Leh and Ladakh.

Questions This Article Does Not Answer Above

Are flights included?

No. Flights to Leh, or from Leh at the end, are bought separately.

Do the totals include permits?

No. Some areas need permits, and we state no fees here. We tell you what is needed.

Is the road route dearer than flying in?

The road route has more nights and more road days, so the total is higher. It also takes longer. Compare the nights, not just the totals.

Can I go outside June to September?

Our plans run in that season. Roads and passes decide what is possible, and we do not promise access outside it.
