Good questions
Will altitude be a problem?
Most people adjust well with the rest day built into Leh. Avoid exertion on arrival, drink plenty of water, and speak to your doctor beforehand if you have heart or lung conditions.
When is the Zoji La open?
Typically from late spring to autumn; the dates vary each year with snow. This journey runs June to September for that reason.
Can I change the hotels or add a day?
Yes. Every package is a starting point. Tell us what you'd like to change on WhatsApp and we'll send a revised plan the same day.
Where does the trip start and end?
At Srinagar airport (or Srinagar railway station). Your driver meets you at arrivals with your name, and drops you back on the last day.
Close, but not quite you?
Swap a hotel, add a night, drop a stop. We'll redraw it.
