Hey all--
I'm flying out for Leh in two days, and wondering if I need to bring my mosquito repellent along... are there mosquitoes up there at all, this time of year? Thanks!

I don't think that there are mosquitoes above 6,000 feet & you will be much higher than that!

Have a great time!

Mosquitoes are working on the altitude sickness thing. Luckily they haven't got it beaten yet. They share my dislike of the cold too
