Ladakh Trip: Complete Budget Guide
Guides
A Ladakh trip is a bucket-list adventure, but planning the budget is essential. Here is a breakdown of what a trip to Ladakh costs, depending on your travel style.
**Transport:** The biggest cost. By road from Manali or Srinagar with a private taxi, expect to spend based on the route and group size. Budget travellers share taxis or use local buses; those short on time can fly into Leh.
**Accommodation:** Leh offers options from budget guesthouses at a few hundred rupees a night to comfortable hotels and camps. In Nubra Valley and Pangong, camps are the experience — book early in peak season.
**Sightseeing:** The key route — Pangong Lake, Nubra Valley, Khardung La, monasteries and local sites — is covered efficiently in a 4–5 day local loop from Leh.
**Extras:** Inner Line Permits, oxygen support, and activities like river rafting in Leh add to costs.
**How long and when:** A complete Ladakh experience takes 7–9 days from Delhi including travel. The season runs from May to September.
As a rough guide, budget travellers can cover Ladakh for around ₹25,000–35,000 per person, while those preferring hotels, private cabs and premium camps should budget ₹45,000 and above. Aransh Holidays offers transparent Ladakh packages with no hidden costs — contact us for a detailed quote.
