 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE CUSTOMER : Since Ladakh is an high altitude mountainous region, it is susceptible to medical emergencies and road closures due to flash floods and landslides.

Any such expense due to any reason medical / natural / political whatsoever will have to be paid extra by the guests.

 COVID SOP : Please note that as per the COVID 19 SOPs, currently in place for Ladakh, all the visitors, whether arriving by air or by road need to carry a negative RTPCR test report, not done earlier than 96 hrs prior to their arrival in Leh. People who have complemented Covid Vaccination with both the shots, atleast 15 days prior to arrival, will be exempted from this rule. Without the RTPCR negative report or Covid19 vaccination completion certificate, the guests will not be allowed for any sightseeing and has to undergo quarantine for minimum of 07 days.  

 CAUTION ABOUT STAYING AT CAMPS : Accommodation options in remote areas outside Leh, like Alchi, Pangong, Tsomoriri, Dha Hanu, etc. are very basic and sometimes guests face difficulties because of the same. Especially, at Pangong & Tsomoriri, due to harsh and extreme climate, very few non-locals can sustain and work in the area and for this reason the camps are always short of staff. The camps in the area are always running to their full capacity and are struggling to provide better services. The guests should expect delays in order/meals, sometime non-availability of food items, even milk. All the camps serve only simple vegetarian food. Room heaters and Hot water (to bathe) is not available in the camps. Since the camps are made up of temporary structures in a harsh climate, the guest should expect some wear and tear in the tents. Similarly the bathroom fitting are also temporary, even the toilet seats are temporarily fixed so expect leakages and breakages in them. The sources of electricity are private generators which are switched off right after dinner in all the camps and the guests should not expect the electric supply for 24 hrs. Most of the camps are running in collaboration with other camps to maximize their inventory utilization and they are almost overbooked every day. Hence the guests should expect to stay at different camp than the one confirmed to them. The alternate camps will be of equivalent category. The camps in Pangong and Tsomoriri should not be compared to their counterparts in Nubra Valley.  

 Stay at these camps in remote areas should be opted by only those, who are okay with all the above short-comings. We will not entertain any refund request due to any of the above or any other reason not mentioned.
