Package FAQs

Is the acclimatisation day really necessary?
Yes — Leh sits at roughly 3,500m and altitude sickness is a genuine risk. We build this in for everyone's safety and do not recommend skipping it.
What if a pass is closed due to weather?
The buffer day on day 7 exists for this. In rare cases of extended closures, we will adjust the itinerary and let you know as early as possible.
