Mobile access
Connectivity rules and roaming arrangements in Ladakh can differ from the rest of India and change over time. Confirm current compatibility directly with your provider before departure.
Coverage reality
Leh has the strongest coverage. Nubra and major settlements may have service, while Pangong, Changthang, Zanskar and highway sectors can be patchy or unavailable.
Wi-Fi
Hotels in Leh often provide Wi-Fi, but speed and uptime depend on regional connectivity and electricity. Remote camps should never be selected on the promise of continuous internet.
Power
Carry a charged power bank and keep devices warm in cold conditions. Electricity may operate only during set hours at camps and homestays.
Offline preparation
Download maps, tickets, hotel addresses, driver contacts, permits and medical information before leaving town. Share the route with someone at home.
Roads, government procedures, mobile arrangements, prices and weather change. Reconfirm close to departure through official authorities and your registered local operator.
