Ladakh is spectacular & highly recommended as a destination. The guide and driver were excellent, but the itinerary was impractical with little or no local advice sought as to the route taken, leading to long days of driving & duplicated routes. Be aware also that in the remote parts of the tour the accommodation is very basic, power is limited to 6:30pm-11:00pm daily and heating is sporadic. In April temperatures were as low as 15 degrees C below zero at night in some of the remote places. The resulting snow and ice were amazing, but ensure you pack accordingly!Show more
