The ultimate Indian road journey — Amritsar to Leh Ladakh via the Srinagar route: Zoji La pass, Kargil's war memorial at Drass, the moonland of Lamayuru, Leh's monasteries, the sand dunes of Nubra Valley over Khardung La, and the unreal blue of Pangong Lake. Ten days that families remember for a lifetime.
Ladakh is not a trip to improvise — altitude acclimatisation, permits for Nubra and Pangong, fuel planning, and mountain-hardened vehicles all matter. We run it the correct way: the Srinagar route going up (gradual altitude gain, safer for families than flying straight to Leh), SUVs only, drivers who read mountain weather, and a day-wise plan built around your body's acclimatisation, not just the map.
Best time: Mid-May to September only — passes remain snow-closed the rest of the year. June–August is peak season; book 3–4 weeks ahead.

Amritsar to Leh Ladakh Tour by Taxi — your questions answered
What is the Amritsar to Leh Ladakh taxi tour price?
From ₹68,000 for an Innova/Crysta (SUV) — per vehicle for 10 days including fuel, driver allowance and passes' road charges. Hotels/camps and inner-line permits are separate; we guide you through permits step by step.
Why SUV only and not a sedan?
High passes like Khardung La and Chang La, water crossings and rough patches in Nubra demand ground clearance and power. Sedans risk breakdowns at altitude — we don't take that risk with your family.
Do we need permits for Nubra and Pangong?
Yes, Inner Line Permits are required and easily arranged online/in Leh — we tell you exactly what to do, and your driver knows all checkpoints.
Is this trip okay for parents or kids?
Yes with the Srinagar-route plan — altitude rises gradually and Day 4 is kept light for acclimatisation. Anyone with serious heart/breathing conditions should consult a doctor first; we're honest about this.
