  Inner Line permits for the valleys

  1 Ene – 31 DicReserva pronto

  Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri and the Dah-Hanu villages sit inside the protected belt and need a permit issued in Leh, foreigners on a different form from Indian nationals. Agencies turn it round in a day; the checkpost will not. Fuente ↗

  Chadar trek on the frozen Zanskar

  15 Ene – 20 Feb · normalmenteTemporada de senderosRiesgoReserva pronto

  The Zanskar river freezes hard enough to walk for a few weeks in deep winter, and permits and a registered agency are required. Warm winters have thinned the ice and cut seasons short, so nothing is bookable with confidence until the December reports. Fuente ↗

  The old-year festival below the palace: cham dances, then a thread-cross effigy carried out of town to take the year's bad luck with it. Deep winter, so almost nobody from outside Ladakh sees it. Fuente ↗

  Ladakhi Losar
