Good to know
Is April a good time to visit Ladakh?
Spring arrives in the lower valleys. Apricot trees blossom in Alchi, the Sham valley and Turtuk, and fields are ploughed. The Srinagar–Leh road usually reopens, though Zoji La can still close after snow. Many camps and seasonal hotels are still shut, and the high lakes are cold. A quiet month for the Indus valley and blossom. Prices are low, and the light is clear for photography.
