A: Leh is at 3,500m altitude. Spend your first 1-2 days acclimatizing, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol, and eat light meals. Take it easy on Day 1, avoid strenuous activities, and consider consulting a doctor if symptoms persist. Most visitors acclimatize within 2-3 days.
Q: What is the ideal duration for a Leh Ladakh trip?
A: A minimum 4-5 days covers Leh city, monasteries, and one major lake (Pangong or Nubra). For a comprehensive trip including both Pangong Lake and Nubra Valley with trekking, plan 7-10 days. Longer trips allow for high-altitude treks like Markha Valley or Chadar Trek.

A: Pack warm clothing (thermal wear, jackets, wool caps), sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good water bottle. Bring medications for altitude sickness, first-aid kit, and any prescription medicines.
