BASIC DO’S AND DONT’S

DO’S:

Your safety is of utmost priority to us!

These are a must.

• Always carry plenty of water as hydration is vital in high altitude conditions to keep you going. Carrying snacks and energy drinks is also mandatory.
• Do pack cotton wear, light woolens, strong walking shoes, sunglasses and other items in your backpack. A good sunscreen and moisturiser are also recommended as it will keep your skin protected.
• A first-aid box with all necessary medicines is another must-have in your bag.
• If you are on medication, do include them in the box as well. If you aren’t carrying one, do consider buying one and keep it with you at all times.
• Carry extra batteries for your camera and mobile phones as electricity in certain places of Ladakh can be an issue.
• While within monastery premises, do take permission of the monk or the person in charge before clicking pictures.
• Do ensure that you have all documents and permits required as certain attractions admit tourists with requisite permits only.

Don’ts:

• Avoid wearing clothes such as skirts, sleeveless blouse or tops while travelling in Ladakh, especially in Buddhist Gompas as you might offend their sentiments.
• Avoid consuming alcohol and smoking during the initial days of your Ladakh trip. Besides, avoiding them completely can be good for your health and the trip.
• Plastic bags are officially banned in Ladakh, hence, it is advisable to avoid carrying them.
• The land is abundant with gorgeous flora and fauna. Do not harm or disturb them as you trek across the geographical and cultural landscape.
