Complete Guide to Leh-Ladakh Trip Cost
Leh-Ladakh is the ultimate Indian road trip — 1,000 km from Delhi via the Manali-Leh Highway, crossing some of the highest motorable passes in the world. This 2-day drive through Rohtang, Baralacha, and Khardung La is an adventure that rivals any journey on the planet.
A 7-day Ladakh trip from Delhi costs between ₹25,000 for budget adventurers to ₹90,000 for premium comfort. The major cost components are the cab (SUV strongly recommended), accommodation, food (expensive in remote areas), and mandatory permits. Ladakh is NOT a budget destination — remote location means higher prices for everything.
We strongly recommend an SUV for the Ladakh trip at ₹15/km. The roads include 5,000m+ passes, river crossings, and unpaved stretches where sedans struggle. Triveni Cabs provides experienced high-altitude drivers who know the Manali-Leh and Leh-Srinagar routes, carry emergency supplies, and understand acclimatization requirements.
The classic route is Delhi → Manali (Day 1) → Manali to Leh via Keylong (Day 2-3) → Leh sightseeing and Pangong Lake (Day 4-5) → Nubra Valley (Day 6) → Leh to Srinagar or return (Day 7). Allow 1-2 acclimatization days in Leh. The season runs from mid-June to September — July-August has the best weather but highest prices.
