Planning Tips
- 💡Book at least 6-8 weeks ahead — summer is peak season for hill destinations and prices rise quickly closer to school holidays
- 💡Ladakh roads typically open only from mid-to-late May — check current conditions before finalizing dates
- 💡Carry light woolens even for 'summer' hill trips — evenings can still be cool at altitude
- 💡For international summer trips, book flights early since May-June overlaps with global summer travel demand
- 💡Consider shoulder weeks (early April or late June) for better rates with still-pleasant weather
