About Leh Nubra Pangong Hanley Umling La Tour

Leh

Leh is 12,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by endless mountains. Decorated with snow on the top of the hill. Therefore, the air here is skinny and freezing. Anyone who thinks they might have altitude sickness should take care of themselves and manage themselves well. Leh is also called Little Tibet. Because here, there is a mixture of Tibetan culture. And there are many different nationalities. Whether it’s Tibetan, Indian, or white Pakistani guests, some people look Chinese. The people here are not as much like Indians as we thought.

You can choose to visit Leh according to your condition and desired atmosphere. If you want to see the colour green, travel between June and August. Suppose you want to see the golden colour of Leh from October to November. But if you choose whatever cold white colour, go from December to April.

The center is Disket. The majority of the population is Tibetan. Because the road is steep and in poor condition, potholes and rockslides often block it.
