Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is March a good time to visit Ladakh?
Snow leopard trips continue into mid-March, with longer days and slightly warmer weather. The ice on the rivers begins to break. By late March some hotels in Leh reopen and the first visitors arrive. High passes are still snowbound at times, and Pangong remains frozen. A good month for winter photography and quiet monasteries. Leh's air is crisp, and roads to the lower valleys are quiet.
What is the weather like in Ladakh in March?
Leh −6 to 6 °C, dry, warming. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Ladakh in March?
We suggest Hemis, Sham Valley, Leh. Combine the last of the snow leopard season with monastery visits around Leh.
