Day 1 : - Arrival at Leh Airport
Welcome on arrival at Leh Airport . A tour of Ladakh offers an incredible opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes, rich culture, and historical sites of this high-altitude region in India.
Full day free for acclimatization. You are advised to stay and relax in the hotel. It’s important to take a rest for 24 hours and wear heavy woolens.
Why acclimatization is mandatory – Leh is at an elevation of 11,500 ft approximately above sea level. When you scale such heights, your body may not get enough time to adapt to the changing surroundings. Though most people do not experience symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) in Leh. But it is advisable to be cautious and be alert for symptoms of AMS. The most common symptoms of AMS are headache, disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, coughing and irregular breathing. One should avoid smoking tobacco, alcohol and caffeine-based drinks as they dehydrate the body and interfere with the process of acclimatization.
