Best Season / Best time to visit Ladakh

The weather of Ladakh remains cold and chilly for most part of the year and the best time to visit is from June to September.


Winters(October to May) are very cold frost bites and snowfall are common occurrence, making it a very inhospitable climate for visiting the place. During this season, the mercury level comes down to very well below 0°C and the whole area is covered with snow.

Summer (June to September) is the best time to visit as it is the only season when the passes are open. The temperature is cool and can go up to 33°C. Summers are the ideal time to go to Leh as the skies are clear and offers panoramic views of the mountains. The average day temperature ranges from 20° to 30°C.

Monsoon is not confined to any particular season as sporadic rainfall may occur at any time.
