The skies are clear and the landscape is a stunning mix of colour and character during peak season June to September. THE TRIP gives you a handy checklist before you strap up for an unforgettable experience.
Carry warm clothes and blankets. The weather pattern can change dramatically. Carry dry, lightweight eatables including dry fruits and nuts as well as plenty of safe drinking water.
Due to erratic electricity, it's best to carry extra batteries for cameras and mobile phones. 
Charge them fully before stepping out. Some areas are completely devoid of electric power while other remote places might be chilling cold so your batteries might need charging even sooner.
If you are travelling by air to Leh, rest for a day to get acclimatised to the high altitude and low level of atmospheric oxygen.
High altitude sickness or Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a condition faced by many tourists who do not get sufficient time to acclimatise after reaching Leh.
Always keep a first-aid kit at your disposal. Make sure it includes medication for headache, fever and vomiting.
Before leaving for any trek here, collect necessary updated information about the weather, road route, and the places along the itinerary to counter any hidden surprises.
Don't make hasteu00a0 while moving from one location to the next.
Remember to take deep breaths until your body gets acclimatised to the lower oxygen levels. While trekking, ensure that your guide moves at a pace that you are comfortable with.
