Best Time To Visit

Since Mumbai has a very humid climate and is almost reversible than the dry and barren Ladakh, one must look for the best time slot to cover Mumbai to Ladakh distance easy. The summer months between May to September is one of the best time slots to land in Leh, take drives on unhindered but dusty roads and get mesmerized with each view followed by various monasteries that fall on its way. If chilled winters are your real call with snowfall and frozen lakes, then visit Ladakh in months of November to March.
But one has to note that roads are blocked during the season due to heavy snowfall and blocked roads. Also, one needs to take only flight as a medium to commute for reaching Leh airport. So, winters could be harsh on your trip making the sightseeing a lot more difficult. Hence, we recommend taking a visit during the months of May-September. In this also, consider monsoon months of August-September which can make the roads slippery. Be prepared with the cautions and move ahead safely.

This is definitely the most time-consuming
route but most thrilling in a way. Surprisingly, Mumbai to Leh distance runs
around 2418 km via NH 48 and driving through it is a challenge on its own, for
