Main cost groups
Calculate flights, accommodation, vehicle, meals, permits, tickets, activities, tips and emergency reserve separately.
Transport cost
Private taxi cost depends on route, vehicle category and days, not only distance. Shared taxis lower cost but reduce flexibility.
Accommodation cost
Leh offers all categories. Remote camps can be costly despite basic facilities because of short seasons and difficult supply chains.
Hidden expenses
Local resort taxis, heating, pony rides, gondola tickets, rafting, laundry, route changes and added hotel nights may be excluded.
Cash planning
Carry cash outside Leh and Kargil. Split emergency money between travellers and do not depend entirely on ATMs or UPI.
Confirm live weather, roads, government rules, operating stays and prices close to departure. This guide supports planning but does not replace official instructions or medical advice.
