Ladakh is becoming increasingly accessible, thanks to the many visiting
tourists.
By Bus or Truck
 | Cost: Rs. 200 - 400 (US$5 - US$10) |
| Time: 3 days from Leh to Delhi via Manali Road. 2 days from Leh to
Srinagar with an overnight stop at Kargil. |
| Plus: Spectacular scenary and chance to travel on the world's highest
motorable road (12,000 ft). Also gives you time to acclimatize. |
| Minus: Not for the faint-hearted. Roads are narrow and dangerous. Please check India/Pakistan situation before proceeding to Kashmir. |
By Plane
| Cost: US$79 (under 30), US$110 (30 & Above) |
| Time: 50 minutes to Delhi |
| Plus: Fast, comfortable ride |
| Minus: Tickets notoriously tough to get. I was on waiting list number
528! Beware of unscrupulous tour/ticketing agents who will ask for a bribe of US$50. |
