INFORMATION FOR VEHICLES

Information for Vehicles

One very important thing to be kept in mind when going on a self-driven trip to Ladakh is that the roads are not at all easy and you will have to face lot of difficulties without any assistance. Commercial vehicles (cars and motorbikes) are only allowed on the highway and not on link roads.

This provision has been made to safeguard the local taxi owners from being exploited by outside vehicles. There is no source of income for the people of Ladakh during the winter months when life stands still under snowy covers. Only the 4-6 months of tourist season is when they can earn their bread. Therefore, no commercial vehicle at any time can enter into this local business.

For non-commercial vehicle owners, it is important to know that your vehicle is going to depreciate after the completion of your trip due to the condition of roads at risky terrains. You need to be ready for any damage that may occur to your vehicle on the way. For this and lot more, we provide full assistance on self-driven trips.
