Mod Note.

Hi Bulletbee. Feel free to post a temp mail address here if you need to (as opposed to creating an entirely new, duplicate thread). Also if you find you're not getting enough replies its also possible to move the thread to another one of the forums if you think that will help (like the buses, car, and motorcycle thread).

Also - for you information from the IM rules:


"No Multiple Postings (1 point for 10 days): Find the board you want your post in and post it. Posting the same message in multiple forums is not allowed."

As part of the rules for joining IM posting the same message in different threads is not allowed - and can draw an infraction. In this case it has not - this is just a friendly reminder. The mod team is here to help - but the rules will be enforced. I suggest you familiarise yourself with the rules if you are in doubt.

Good luck.

There will be plenty of snow at Rohtang, Khardung La and Tanglang La, best time to visit Ladakh is in August.

Liketotravel : June, you would find plenty of Snow on the passes. As Yogesh has just suggested August as the time to cross passes is suitable and I agree.
I had done the tours on August and honestly speaking you will find plenty of rain during Aug 1st week to mid.
Best suitable time I guess would be September
