Pangong Lake Tour Packages

Visa and entry

Indian citizens do not need a visa; carry a government photo ID such as Aadhaar or a passport for hotels and flights. Parts of Ladakh need an Inner Line Permit or Protected Area Permit for visitors; we arrange these as part of your trip.

Health and safety

Travel insurance is a good idea, especially for adventure activities. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Some places here are at high altitude: rest on arrival, drink plenty of water and ascend gradually.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Tipping is not compulsory; around 5–10% in restaurants and a small tip for drivers and guides is appreciated.

Best time to visit

June to September. Partly frozen in winter; summer is the main season.

Getting around

Fly to Leh and rest before driving higher. Inner Line Permits are needed for Nubra, Pangong and other border areas; we arrange them.

Local etiquette

• Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.

What to pack

Pack warm layers, a down jacket and gloves and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Mobile data is good in towns and cities. Coverage can be patchy in remote, hill and forest areas, so download offline maps before you set off.

Budget

We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
