How to Reach Leh
Nearest Airport: Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, Leh is the nearest airport and its IATA code is IXL.
Nearest Railway Station: You cannot reach Leh directly by train as there is no railway station in Ladakh. The nearest Railway station is Jammu tawi (700 km from Ladakh) or Kalka (750 km, near Chandigarh).
By Road: There are two road routes to Leh – one through Manali in Himachal Pradesh and the second one through Srinagar. Leh is 434 km from Srinagar and 494 km from Manali. You can only travel to Ladakh by road between June to September as during the winter months the highways are shut due to heavy snowfalls.
The quickest and simplest way to reach Ladakh is by air.
The scenic flight from Delhi to Leh takes one and a half hours. Even international travelers can directly board a flight from the major cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Bangalore, and Delhi
to reach Leh. You can book a cab to reach the hotel.
IMP: Climbers must keep 2 days reserved for this expedition because due to bad weather
sometimes we have to face road blockages or landslides. Book your return tickets accordingly.
