List of the things you need to carry while traveling to Ladakh.

List of the things you need to carry while traveling to Ladakh.

For many people, Ladakh is a dream destination to visit at least once in a lifetime. Truly Ladakh is a beautiful place. After my last bike trip to Ladakh, I understood there are several important things I should have carried with me but either missed or forgot. In this article I will give the list of the things you should take with you while going to Ladakh, few of these items are must for your safety and few of the items are for having a memorable trip. After all, when you finally visit Ladakh you want to make it as memorable as possible and should not regret after visiting there ‘Ah!! I should have got that one from home!!’.

Sweater: Not one but more.

As Ladakh is situated at a high altitude of 11,000 ft, the first thing you would require after reaching Ladakh is a woolen sweater. The temperature there would be very less and most of the time we would be spending on woolen sweaters and woolen Jackets, it would be a wise decision to carry more sweaters than regular T-shirts. If you carry only one sweater with you, in most of the photos you will look like you are in the same dress J. So if required reduce the number of Tshirts\Shirts you carry and add more sweaters\jackets to your luggage.

Cold\Moisturising Cream, lip balm & D-Tan Cream\lotion:

The climate changes so rapidly in Ladakh it is difficult to predict and at the same time, it is difficult for the body to adjust to the climate changes. Carry a Cold Cream and you must apply it while going out, if you are traveling by car then ok but if you are going for a bike trip then your skin will start turning white and it will become hard and even washing of face becomes difficult. Same time carry a D-Tan lotion as well so that you can avoid skin burns.

Hand gloves & Winter Cap:

Hand gloves are must and don’t plan to purchase winter cap or muffler in Ladakh, instead purchase and carry with you before reaching Ladakh.

Shoes:

This is another must thing you should carry. Trekking shoes would a good choice if not running shoes. For bike trip definitely biker shoes. Sandals can be used only inside the hotel.

Goggles:

These are for 2 purposes one to protect our eyes from the cold winds and second obviously for photos J.

Medicine:

There is a medicine available for altitude sickness which I don’t want to name, but it did help me as well when I was passing through the high altitude pass. SO based on your health conditions you should carry it along with you and also carry basic medicine for headache, body pains, cold, and fever.

Powerbank for mobile:

When you will be traveling long distances on road this is a must.

Extra battery for the camera:

Carry an extra camera battery and this will be very useful at times.

Selfie Stick.

Deodorant.

Woolen socks.

There are many other basic things like which you should carry like toothbrushes, pastes, soaps, towels and so on. Purposefully haven’t been included in the list as they are must for any kind of journey.
