Losar in Leh

DecemberJanuarydates shift yearly

Ladakhi new year, celebrated earlier than Tibetan Losar. Deep winter — most tourist infrastructure is shut and access is limited.

Can fall in December or January. It follows a lunar calendar, so the date moves every year — confirm it before booking anything non-refundable.
