In case you are planning to go to Ladakh on a vacation, you must be looking for some travel tips such as weather conditions of Leh Ladakh, the best time to go there, how to reach. We trying to provide some information related to Ladakh . Ladakh is the mountainous region of Jammu and Kashmir. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the Great Himalaya and the Karakorum, the area known as the Trans-Himalaya. The settled population live between 2700 m and 4500 m. it's the largest and the least populated region of Jammu and Kashmir.Temperatures in Ladakh, range from-3 to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer and from -20 to 15 degrees Celsius in the winter.The people are a mixture of Buddhist and Muslim.Buddhists are the majority in the east close to the Chinese border and a slight majority overall while Muslims have the majority in the north and west . Ladakh is a region in India totally isolated from the modern world. Ladakh means "land of high passes". Until the coming of the aircraft, the only access into this remote, high Trans-Himalayan kingdom was across several high pass crossings. From the west the Zoji La at 14,000 feet is the lowest. Taglang La to the southeast is17,200 feet high and a military highway now crosses this coming from Manali. To the north is the Khardung La - at 18,200 feet, the only access into the Nubra valley and the Karakorams. Dead ends now,
but important in centuries past, were the northern passes on the Central Asian trade route - Saser La and the Karakorum pass.From November to May, Ladakh is almost completely cut off from the outside world.Even in summer, getting here involves crossing the highest mountain passes in the world, or a hair-raising flight that weaves between the peaks.Tourism and hydro-electric power are flooding the region with money, and global warming is altering rainfall patterns, threatening farming cycles and Ladakh’s traditional mud-brick architecture.You need to be physically fit to undertake a tour to Leh Ladakh. It is advisableto take at least 12-24 hours of rest after reaching Leh to fully acclimatize to the high altitude. If you feel shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, or fatigue, immediately take some rest. Always carry drinking water,chocolates or energy bars while traveling.Medicines, moisturizers and sun-screen lotion are a must when traveling to Leh Ladakh. Since Ladakh is on India's sensitive north western border, the movement of foreign tourists is restricted in some areas of Ladakh. Foreign tourists may not travel beyond one mile north of the Zoji-la-Dras-Bodhkarbu- Khalatse road, except to visit the monasteries of Tia-Tingmosgang, Rizong, Likir and Phyang. Shey, Thikse, Chemrey and Tak-thok monasteries lying north of the Leh-Upshi road can also be visited. The Leh-Manali road is also only open upto one mile east of its general alignment. Foreign 
tourists can visit some newly opened areas in north eastern and northern regions of Ladakh, but only with permission of the Deputy Commissioner Leh.In present times, the only two land routes to Ladakh in use are from
Srinagar and Manali. Travelers from Srinagar start their journey from Sonamarg, over the Zoji la pass (3,450 m, 11,320 ft) via Dras and Kargil (2,750 m, 9,022 ft) passing through Namika la (3,700 m, 12,140 ft) and Fatu la(4,100 m, 13,450 ft.) This has been the main traditional gateway to Ladakh since historical times. However, with the rise of militancy in Kashmir, the main corridor to the area has shifted from the Srinagar-Kargil-Leh routevia Zoji la to the high altitude Manali-Leh Highway from Himachal Pradesh. The highway crosses four passes, Rohtang la (3,978 m, 13,050 ft), Baralacha la (4,892 m, 16,050 ft), Lungalacha la (5,059 m, 16,600 ft) and Taglang la(5,325 m, 17,470 ft), and is open only between July and mid-October when snow is cleared from the road. There is one airport in Leh, from which there are multiple daily flights to Delhi on Jet Airways, Air Deccan, and Indianand weekly flights to Srinagar and Jammu. Buses run from Leh to the surrounding villages. There is about 1,800 km (1,100 mi) of roads in Ladakh of which 800 km (500 mi) is surfaced. The Manali-Leh-Srinagar road makes upabout half of the road network, the remainder being spurs off it. Ladakh is criss-crossed by a complex network of mountain trails which, even today provides the only link to most of the valleys, villages and high pastures.For the traveler with a number of months it is possible to trek from one end of Ladakh to the other, or even from places in Himachal Pradesh. The large number of trails and the limited number of roads allows one to stringtogether routes that have road access often enough to restock supplies, but avoid walking on motor roads almost entirely.
