Frequently asked questions

How do I deal with the altitude?

The itinerary keeps the first day in Leh/Manali light so your body can adjust. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol for the first 48 hours and tell your trip captain at once if you feel unwell — an oxygen cylinder travels with the group.

Can I customise this package?

Yes. Every package can be changed — dates, hotels, number of nights and sightseeing. Share what you have in mind and we’ll send a revised plan at no cost.

Is the price per person?

Yes, the listed price of ₹37,800 is per person and depends on travel dates, hotel availability and group size. Your travel expert confirms the final price before you book.
