Weather & Packing

 

Pack for the Season

​

​

Ladakh is a high-altitude cold desert, and the weather can change quickly. Even in summer, evenings can be cool, while winter requires proper cold-weather clothing and protection from wind, snow, and strong sun.

 

Summer Packing

​

For summer stays, we recommend light layers for daytime, a warm jacket for evenings, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a cap or hat, lip balm, a reusable water bottle, and a small daypack for walks, cycling, and outdoor experiences.

 

Winter Packing

​

For winter snow leopard expeditions, warm clothing is essential. Guests should carry a heavy down jacket, thermal layers, fleece or wool mid-layers, waterproof outerwear, warm gloves, woollen socks, a warm cap or balaclava, waterproof trekking boots, sunglasses, sunscreen, and personal medicines.

​

For wildlife tracking, we recommend wearing natural earth tones such as khaki, olive, beige, brown, or muted grey. Bright colours are best avoided in the field.
