ITINERARY:

Day 1: Leh's arrival

The trek starts from Leh, which is a headway into Ladakh which is home to some of the highest peaks in the region. Because the roads are shut, the only way to get to Ladakh in winter is by air. There are flights that fly into Leh through Delhi and this two-hour journey is where the magic begins. Trying to get a window seat on the plane for the bird’s eye view of the Himalayas is absolutely mesmerizing.

Day one is reserved for you to make your way to Leh and get settled into your accommodation. Since you will be coming to this altitude from sea level, the body will need time to get comfortable with the altitude and the mountain air. Winters in Leh are quite harsh but the cold you experience here is only just the beginning!


Day 2: Acclimatisation

You can go around and explore the city market, delve into the colours and culture of this high-mountain city and visit some places nearby. A little movement around the city would be good for acclimatization. Also, use this time to go through your checklist and do some last-minute shopping for what you might be missing for the trek. Leh has the best market for trekking essentials.
