Leh-Ladakh is a seasonal place, a place which invites one and all. Whether you are in love with the warmth of summer and prefer camping under open sky or you want to be mesmerized by the beauty of snow clad mountain in the chill of winter and enjoy winter sports, it has everything to offer you. However, depending upon the inflow of tourists we can differentiate the peak and off peak seasons.
