- Backpack with rain cover (50-60 ltr): A backpack is necessary to carry all your gear. Make sure it's the right size for your trek, and comes with a rain cover to keep your belongings dry in case of rain.
- Thermals (upper and lower): Thermals are lightweight and comfortable base layers that help regulate your body temperature in cold weather. Bring both upper and lower thermals to keep warm.
- 3 T-shirts (advisable quick dry): Choose quick-drying T-shirts made from breathable and moisture-wicking materials. This will help keep you cool and dry during your trek.

- Jacket (-10 degrees): A warm jacket is essential for cold weather. Choose a jacket that is waterproof and windproof, and provides good insulation.

How to reach
Travel to Leh Ladakh by air
Flying is the fastest and most convenient way to reach Leh. Leh’s Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport is a small but well-connected airport that has regular flights from major cities like Delhi, Srinagar and Mumbai. Airlines like Air India, GoAir and Vistara ensure smooth connectivity. The aerial view as you land in Leh is a sight, with snow-covered peaks and endless mountains below you.
But flying directly to Leh has a catch: altitude sickness. The sudden jump to over 11,000 feet above sea level can cause Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) which gives you headaches, nausea and fatigue. To avoid discomfort, travellers are advised to spend their first day resting and acclimatizing. Hydration and light food can also help alleviate symptoms. Flying is perfect for those who are short on time but want to see the treasures of Ladakh.
