When to visit

Best time to visit

Good time to visit

Average time to visit

Ladakh is open for tourists only during the summer months of May to September as it is the only season when the passes open.

The weather of Ladakh remains cold and chilly for most part of the year. Winter usually lasts from October to May and its usually very cold. Frost bites are a common occurrence, making it a very inhospitable climate for visiting. During these months the whole area is covered with snow. Monsoon season experiences rainfall but due to the land slides, the area is closed. The temperature is cool and can go up to 33°C.
