During summertime, one generally tries to plan an escape to a cold mountainous holiday destination. And that’s precisely what I did as well. I thought I’d add new memories to my existing bank of wonderful European vacation experiences from years ago by planning a family trip to Denmark and Norway. But the Danish embassy in New Delhi acted like a vengeful jilted lover and sent our passports woefully late. As a result, all my preferred hotels/day trip experiences got sold out, and I had no option but to cancel the trip and look for an alternate mountain destination in India for a short one-week trip. Thus, the idea of a trip to Leh, Ladakh was born. And now, after having spent slightly more than a week in Leh Ladakh, I can safely say that it undoubtedly gives Europe a run for it’s money. Leh, Ladakh as a travel destination, is like that underrated teenager in high school who flies silently under the radar unlike the popular school heartthrob, but years later goes on to top his college and lands a six-figure salary job. So you can understand why I’m excited to share my best 7-day Leh Ladakh itinerary with you in this blog article.
