Plan my Leh trip

Getting to Leh

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Leh

flight · 1.5h

₹7,500

1 way / person

Manali → Leh

cab · 18h

₹18,000

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Leh by flight. Return for two works out to about ₹30,000 — so a whole trip lands near ₹37,606 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Leh's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.

What’s on in Leh in June

Timing a trip around these changes what you pay and what you can book.

  • Hemis Festivaldates shift yearly

    Masked cham dances at Hemis Monastery, set by the Tibetan calendar. Coincides with Ladakh's peak season, so book Leh rooms early.

Lunar-calendar dates move each year — confirm before booking anything non-refundable.

Permits you'll need

  • Environment fee (no ILP for Indians)

    Indian visitors no longer need an Inner Line Permit for Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri or Hanle. What the checkposts ask for is the Ladakh environment-fee receipt — ₹400 per person plus a ₹20-a-day wildlife protection fee — paid online at lahdclehpermit.in or at the Leh DC office. Foreign nationals still need a Protected Area Permit through a registered Leh agent.

Rules change — verify with the issuing authority before you travel.

Packing for June

  • A warm layer for mornings and evenings — a fleece and a light jacket are enough.
  • Walking shoes with grip and a power bank — charging points and signal are patchy on hill roads.
