Leh Ladakh Packing List and Altitude Guide
Ladakh is a high-altitude destination, so packing correctly is very important. Weather can change quickly, drives are long, and some routes are remote. A good packing list helps make the journey more comfortable.
Clothing
- Warm jacket and thermal wear
- Comfortable layers for day and evening
- Woollen cap, gloves and socks
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
Documents and travel essentials
- Government identity proof
- Booking confirmations
- Permit-related documents if required
- Power bank and chargers
- Basic medicines after consulting your doctor
Altitude travel tips
Do not rush on the first day in Leh. Drink water, eat light meals and avoid heavy physical activity immediately after arrival. Travellers with health concerns should consult a doctor before planning a Ladakh trip.
Road trip preparation
For Srinagar to Leh, Manali to Leh or long Nubra Pangong routes, keep snacks, water, warm layers and flexible timing. Weather and road conditions can change, so buffer time is useful.
