<\/p>\nIn a place where even the landscape throws in a new surprise at every turn, the only thing you can be certain about is the uncertainty of the climate! In Ladakh, one minute you have the sun shining bright above your head and the next moment strong chilly winds make an appearance. So how exactly does one pack for weather like this? Not to forget the altitude, living at 11,400ft is definitely a feat but that doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t visit this rocky paradise at all. To make your travel to Ladakh convenient, we have compiled a list of must-haves and must-dos before you visit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) Consult A Doctor<\/strong><\/p>\n Before visiting Ladakh, consult a doctor without fail! He will suggest the right course of action. Usually, they recommend blood thinners to assist you with acclimatisation.<\/p>\n 2) Drink Lots of Water<\/strong><\/p>\n Staying hydrated is the key to surviving at high altitudes. Hence, drinking lots of water before and on the trip is highly recommended.<\/p>\n 3) Camphor & Chocolates<\/strong><\/p>\n What an odd combination! But inhaling camphor helps you breathe easily in high altitude areas and chocolates do a fab job of restoring glucose levels. We know sharing is caring but hold on to these, don\u2019t share!<\/p>\n 4) Carry Your Thermals<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t be fooled by the sun. 12 degrees in Ladakh is still very cold. So no matter what the weather app suggests, pack your thermals!<\/p>\n 5) Sweaters, Socks, Gloves, Beanies\u2026Pack Them All!<\/strong><\/p>\n When in Ladakh, it\u2019s always better to dress in layers. Even when it is not too cold, the extra layers provide protection from the harsh UV rays.<\/p>\n 6) Comfortable & Sturdy Shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, those boots will look amazing in photographs but they won\u2019t make walking in Ladakh any easier. The rocky terrain of Ladakh is best explored with comfortable and sturdy shoes.<\/p>\n
