Mod Note: I've linked this post to your other post in the main Ladakh info thread.

goodluck, pls do share experience, I am also planing a trip there and needs inputs on road travel. Planing to go by car ! will appreicate your valuable inputs on preperations too

Many thanks for posting this. I have often been wondering if it is good to recommend people to go or not. I knew the weather is alright and most roads (excelt Manali-Leh) are not open, but I was worried on the resource issues. A travel agent I know had told me to recommend people to come, but I wanted opinion from someone who is not in the travel industry. That sorts it out.

came back from leh yesterday after 10 days---------everthing is fine in ladakh------- it was my second time but it was great--------

Nod Note: I have merged two very similar threads. I have also made it a sticky thread for the next couple of months.

Hi,

I have returned from Leh this week after a 9 day trip and everything is fine in Ladakh. The travel agencies and the cab drivers are ready to give upto 20% of discount, even the hotels and guest houses are available at a cheap rate. The Leh-Srinagar highway upto Nimo is in bad shape, apart from that everything else is quite ok. BSNL office has been shifted to a new location and rebuilding work is going on in the Leh bus stand (operational now). So please don't cancel your trip to Leh, the people of Leh badly need your help as the season is going to end soon for this year.

Thanks,
Tamagna

Thanks for the news ..

Hi-ya!
Yes, apart some expectable extra problems one may encounter, my planned trip to Ladakh gets evermore a social meaning. A small hand among many, I hope.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks to all for further info and updates.
Bye.
