Leh is one among the two districts of Ladakh. The weather is extremely cold and harsh during winters, thus causing frost bites.
• Winter (October to March) are the coldest months when the temperature can dip as low as -15°C. Due to the rarefied air, the effect of the sun during the winter months is much harsher and as a result can cause sun burns. The area experiences heavy snowfall during the winter.
• Summer (April to September) are the best season and are apt for visiting the city of Leh. The temperature is cool and can go up to 33°C. Summers are the ideal time to go to Leh as the skies are clear and offer panoramic views of the mountains. The average day temperature ranges from 20° to 30°C.
Leh is a beautiful city which remains inaccessible for most part of the year. Due to the unpredictable nature of the climate, tourists are advised to carry woolens. The passes to reach Leh remain open only from the months of June till September
