Hi, I’m Anoushka, I went to Ladakh in the month of June for around 12 days, it was an amazing experience. Safety: it was moderately safe, some of the the mountain roads were thin and prone to rock sliding, but overall it was a very clean and and scenic view. Things to do: You can visit the heritage sites, Buddhist monastery’s etc Food: The food was good, I learned they eat Tin Bok a local cuisine, must try. Budget: The trip was Budget friendly (Must Visit!!) For more information on the stay and accommodation dm me

I was in Ladakh with a female friend and we wandered around temples, valleys etc. We slept in a tent, sometimes in the wild, and it was quite alright.
