Things to do in Leh
Leh sits at about 3,500 m in the Indus valley, and that is the first thing to plan around: fly in and you have gone from sea level to Himalayan altitude in roughly ninety minutes, so most people give the first day or two to rest before doing anything strenuous. Things to do in Leh begin gently for that reason — the old town under the nine-storey Leh Palace, the walk up to Shanti Stupa, a morning at Thiksey or Hemis monastery down the valley.
The calendar here is seasonal in a way few Indian towns are. The Manali road is open roughly June to late October while the Srinagar road over Zoji La runs longer, and the year's set pieces are spaced across it: Hemis Tsechu in June, the week-long Ladakh Festival each September, an ice-climbing festival in the depth of winter. What's listed below is what's dated and confirmed rather than what usually happens.
Frequently asked
What is there to do in Leh?
Leh Palace and the old town below it, the climb to Shanti Stupa, and the monasteries down the Indus valley at Thiksey and Hemis are the anchors. Time it right and there's more on top — Hemis Tsechu in June, the Ladakh Festival in September, ice climbing in winter. Give your first day or two to acclimatising at 3,500 m before anything strenuous.
What's on in Leh this week?
The this-week page lists everything dated for the next seven days in Leh — festivals, courses, treks and more — updated as organisers add new listings, so it reflects what's actually scheduled rather than the usual seasonal picture.
