Ladakh is distinct from most regions of India due to its unique weather and climate. The best time to visit Ladakh is generally considered to be between June and September, when the region is most accessible and the weather is pleasant for exploration.

Summer (April-June): As the temperatures rise, the snow begins to melt, and the landscape starts to bloom, making this period the beginning of the tourist season in Ladakh. This season is ideal for visiting Leh, as the lakes such as Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri come alive with vibrant colors, reflecting the changing hues of the landscape and adding a picturesque quality to the surroundings.

Early Winter (September-October): During early winter, a cool mountain breeze begins to sweep through Ladakh, and occasional snowfall adds a touch of magic to the region. This time of year is particularly special as it transforms Ladakh into a breathtakingly beautiful destination, making it one of the most enchanting periods to visit Leh. However, while the scenery is stunning, travelers should be prepared for colder temperatures and some remote areas becoming less accessible as the winter progresses.
