However, if you are to visit places like Chushul, Hanle etc. Inner Line Permit, will be required.
HolidayIQ Traveller Shishadri Sanketi says, "There is a requirement of permit to visit the surrounding areas i.e. Pangong tso, tso moriri, nubra, khardung-la etc. The permit can be arranged through the hotel owner. I would advice other travellers to contact the owner, couple of days prior to arrival and tie-up for the permit."

HolidayIQ Traveller Aadarsh Subramani says, "The temperature would dip up to minus 21. The Oxygen level was also very low. But we somehow managed by drinking lots of water." "It is necessary to drink lots of water and fluids to avoid dehydration. You need to breathe more to compensate for low oxygen at high altitudes. It is the only place in the world where you could have a frost bite and a heat stroke in the same day. Drink more water," adds HolidayIQ Traveller Janak Mistry.

HolidayIQ Traveller Janak Mistry says, "As the location is high above the sea level, it is necessary to protect the skin from the UV rays, as they are more powerful than what we have at the sea levels. There is a common notion to have some rum or vodka in the cold weather but it surely is not advisable on the high altitude. It is necessary to be fit physically and carry proper medications to avoid collapse due to high altitude sickness." Adds HolidayIQ Traveller Dhairya Shah says, "It is heated during the day during summers, so apply a sunscreen lotion and carry drinking water."

HolidayIQ Traveller Janak Mistry says, "If you are driving down it should not be that tough compared to a ride on a motorcycle. It is necessary to carry a complete tool kit along with a spare tyre tube, bulbs, spark plugs and any other spare part you think might be worth carrying. It would be worth carrying that extra item and bring it back than to repent on the way in between nowhere."
