You will need to bring some spending money with you, but not a great deal. Think of lunch, snacks and special drinks (we provide water and thea). This will all be cheap. Souvenirs, which you probably buy in Leh, vary in price. Most people can get cash out of the ATM. Research at home which banks charge fees and which not. Otherwise you can exchange money. Apart from Leh there are not many places where there are ATMS. We strongly advise you to exchange money as soon as you land in India at the airport. Or in Leh at the latest. You can always exchange your Rupees back when you get home if you haven’t used it.

Make sure to check the maximum amount of luggage at the airlines. Mostly the domestic flights to Leh come with less than international flights. Please check with your airline to confirm, as they do vary. We recommend packing light!

This is an adventure. We recommend that you leave your expensive valuables at home. This includes laptops and other electrical equipment. Don’t bring clothing or footwear that you are worried about ruining. Expensive camera and computer equipment should be insured and well protected.

No. If are you able to extend your stay we would recommend that you do so. India is a wonderful country and offers much to explore.
