Cosa c'è in programma a Leh (Ladakh) (India) durante l'anno

Affollato — Winter break in India, vacanze scolastiche in 5 dei paesi da cui arrivano i visitatori

• Regola

  Inner Line permits for the valleys

  1 gen – 31 dicPrenota presto

  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. Fonte ↗

• Apertura

  Chadar trek on the frozen Zanskar

  15 gen – 20 feb · di solitoStagione dei sentieriRischioPrenota presto

  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. Fonte ↗

Ancora in corso: Ladakhi Losar (1 dic – 10 gen (di solito)), Pangong and the lakes freeze (20 dic – 10 mar (di solito))
