Ladakh has always been mysterious to travellers, with its vastness. Whether it\u2019s the snow capped mountain peaks or the never-ending meadows, or the gigantic lakes that are termed as  \u201csea\u201d in the local language, you can bet on the endlessness of your amazement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy these breathtaking landscapes, if you are coming for the first time, you would probably  need some of the basic travel information and guidance. Let\u2019s bundle up a few things here, for  your reference, therefore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inner Line Permit <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need a Ladakh administration issued permit to roam in and around Ladakh, at most of the  places. While it\u2019s possible for you to get one yourself, it\u2019s always hassle free if you let a travel  agency do it for you (for foreign travellers, you can\u2019t do it yourself). The process can be tiresome  for an individual, and a travel agency is specialised in these things. Also, if you ask a travel agency  to chalk out your travel plan inside Ladakh, which you should do for a hassle-free experience, the  permit will also be taken care of by them, without asking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay & Travel <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ladakh has come up with a lot of hotels<\/a> in recent times. Starting from your first day in Leh, to  your entire travelling days in and around Ladakh, you have many hotels to choose from. You may  choose from budget hotels to luxurious ones. You may also choose homesteads, to closely  experience the life of families of Ladakh, and taste their home food. And before you decide on the  hotels, you must decide the places you want to visit, on your first visit to Ladakh. There are many  places to choose from – the popular ones as well as the less-known ones, decide based on what  you wish for. However, if it feels a bit overwhelming for you, you can always consult a travel  agency based in Ladakh, to curate a tour for you. Many of the travel agencies in Ladakh<\/a> are  specialised in making a great tour package<\/a> for you, whether you are here for the first time, or you  have visited before. The one benefit of the tour packages is that they will take care of your stay,  transportation (car rentals) and food, if you opt for it. Please remember, self-driven car rentals are  not available in Ladakh, as of now. You have to rent a car<\/a> from the agencies, and those will come  with a chauffeur.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring Yourself <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a person who prefers to explore places in a more adventurous way, and mostly not with  a very fixed plan, you will probably want to explore Ladakh on a motorbike. And we can\u2019t blame  you – Ladakh being such a great place for motorbiking, except the extreme winter months. So, if  you decide to do this kind of adventure on your first visit in Ladakh, there are innumerable motorbike rental agencies in Leh town<\/a>. Yes, you have to rent a motorbike from Leh, and return  it to Leh again, before you leave this beautiful landscape, vouching to come back again. There are  options of geared motorbikes as well as automatic scooters – choose what you are most  comfortable with, you just have to carry a valid driving license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that this will help you to put a seal on your decision to visit Ladakh, for the first time. And  we hope that once you come here, the breathtakingly beautiful landscape as well as our  hospitality will make you decide to visit again. We are waiting to welcome you to Ladakh.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
