🏔️ Essential Ladakh Travel Tips: Permits, Altitude & Road Updates

Planning your first trip to the “Land of High Passes”? Here are the must‑know Ladakh travel tips to ensure a smooth, safe, and unforgettable journey.

📄 1. Permit Info & Requirements

  • Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Indian nationals—apply online or at Leh DC office

  • Protected Area Permit (PAP) for foreign nationals—book through registered agents

  • Fees: Environment Fee (₹400), Red Cross Fee (₹100) & daily permit charges

  • 🕒 Tip: Secure your permits at least 24 hours in advance to avoid delays

🌬️ 2. Coping with Altitude Sickness

Ladakh’s high altitude can strike suddenly. Follow these steps:

  • 💧 Hydrate frequently—water and ORS solutions

  • 🚫 Avoid alcohol and heavy meals on Day 1–2

  • 💊 Carry Diamox (consult your doctor) and pain relievers

  • 🛏️ Rest well after arrival; avoid strenuous activity

  • ⚠️ Seek help if you experience severe headache, nausea, or breathlessness

🌮 3. Must‑Try Ladakh Food

Fuel your adventure with local delicacies:

  • 🥟 Momos & Thukpa—comforting Tibetan noodles & dumplings

  • 🍲 Skyu & Thenthuk—hearty local soups for cold days

  • 🧀 Chhurpi (yak cheese)—snack on this protein‑rich treat

🛣️ 4. Real‑Time Road Updates

Mountain roads change fast. Stay informed:

  • 📱 Join local WhatsApp groups for live updates from drivers

  • 📅 Plan buffers—Rohtang, Baralacha La, Chang La can close due to snow or landslides
