BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

8 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Good value for what's included.

Reply from The Monsoon Ledger

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Would send friends their way.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Kashmir & Ladakh on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.

Questions people ask

Flying takes you from near sea level to 3,500 m in ninety minutes, and acute mountain sickness in Leh is common because of it. Driving up from Srinagar gains the height over three days with nights at 1,585 m, 2,676 m and 3,500 m. It is the single best decision you can make about a Ladakh trip.
