Frequently Asked Questions
Is 4 days enough to experience Ladakh?▼
While Ladakh deserves more time, our 4-day package is designed to give you the essence of Ladakh - Leh city, Khardung La, and Nubra Valley. Perfect for those with limited time who still want the core Ladakh experience.
Can I visit Pangong Lake in the 4-day package?▼
Due to time and acclimatization constraints, Pangong Lake is not included. We recommend our 5-day Pangong Special or 7-day Magical Ladakh package for the Pangong experience.
Will I face altitude sickness in just 4 days?▼
Day 1 is dedicated to acclimatization. We take you to Khardung La on Day 3 only after your body has adjusted. Follow our guidelines - stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and do not overexert.
What if my flight to Leh is delayed?▼
Leh flights are often delayed due to weather. We have buffer time in the itinerary. If significantly delayed, we adjust the schedule to ensure you do not miss the highlights.
Is the Nubra Valley trip a day trip or overnight?▼
In our 4-day package, Nubra is a long day trip returning to Leh the same evening. For overnight Nubra experience, consider our 7-day packages.
