Dreaming of a high-altitude adventure unlike anything in Australia? Ladakh, in northern India, is a surreal Himalayan region that offers dramatic landscapes, ancient monasteries, and unforgettable cultural experiences for Aussie travellers. Whether you’re chasing rugged road trips, spiritual serenity, or adrenaline-filled treks, this forum is your ultimate planning space for exploring Ladakh from Australia.
Learn how to reach Ladakh from Down Under—via Delhi, Srinagar, or Manali—and what to expect when flying into Leh, the region’s capital perched at over 3,500 meters. Get practical tips on acclimatisation, permits, and choosing the best time to visit—usually from May to September.
This forum covers it all: iconic spots like Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, Khardung La, and ancient gompas like Hemis and Thiksey. We also share advice on staying in local homestays, renting bikes for the Leh–Manali highway, and how to travel responsibly in this ecologically sensitive region.
