Ladakh - Srinagar Jeep Safari Tour
Adventure calls from the roof of the world, where miles of rugged mountains, ancient monasteries, and silent valleys invite you on a journey unlike any other. The jeep safari tours in Ladakh are immersive explorations into the heart of the Himalayas, where nature and spirituality merge in breathtaking harmony.
This extraordinary Ladakh jeep safari takes you through some of India's most striking landscapes, towering rocky peaks, remote villages untouched by time, and the youthful Indus River flowing alongside. Ladakh itself feels like a timeless land, where the sun and clouds play an eternal game atop monastery spires and cold winds keep Tibetan prayer flags fluttering in the mountain air.
Your Ladakh jeep tour will begin from Leh, where you will enjoy local sightseeing and visits to Hemis and Thiksey monasteries. Crossing Khardung La, one of the world's highest motorable passes, you'll descend into the dramatic Nubra Valley, an unexpected green oasis amid barren high - altitude deserts. Here, riding the rare double-humped Bactrian camels is a unique experience reminiscent of ancient Silk Route caravans. You will visit iconic monasteries such as Diskit, Likir Gompa, Alchi Gompa, and Lamayuru, each echoing with centuries of rich Buddhist heritage.
The tour also covers Kargil, a valley marked by memories of bravery and resilience, before reaching Srinagar via Sonmarg, where serene Dal Lake, Mughal gardens, and vibrant bazaars create a peaceful contrast to the rugged mountain adventure.
On this Ladakh jeep safari tour, each mile offers spellbinding views and encounters with nature and culture, making this a once - in - a - lifetime Himalayan odyssey that stays with you forever.

The best time for the Ladakh - Srinagar Jeep Safari
The best time for a Ladakh jeep safari tour is between July and September. Here's a season - wise breakdown.
- Summer (April to June) : Late June marks the onset of the tourist season in Ladakh. However, Kashmir's tourist season begins from April. The high mountain passes like Khardung La and Zoji La are open, making road travel accessible and safe. Temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C. Though there are still some areas in Ladakh that are not accessible in these months due to snow, Kashmir is fully open to travel.
- Monsoon (July to September) : Monsoon in both Ladakh and Kashmir sees minimal rainfall due to their rain shadow location, making them surprisingly good for travel. Roads and attractions largely remain open, and temperatures hover around 25°C to 30°C. Occasional brief landslides or roadblocks can occur near Srinagar - Leh routes but are generally short - lived. It is the best time for a Ladakh - Srinagar jeep safari tour.
- Winter (November to March) : The harsh winter brings heavy snow, closing critical roads and passes, which makes jeep safaris largely impossible during these months.
