What a Ladakh trip really costs

This guide breaks down a 6 nights / 7 days Ladakh trip into flights, stay, food, transport and activities, per person with two travellers sharing a room. It is written for travellers across India, not for one departure city, so flight costs are shown as a range from a major metro.

All numbers are indicative planning figures in rupees. They are not quotes, and they change with season, hotel choice and how early you book. The best way to turn them into real numbers is to compare actual quotes for your dates.
