Explanation:
Let me be honest with you at the very outset--I have never been to Ladakh. Neither am I planning to visit the place anytime soon. Surprised? Well, I don't blame you for that. You have always known this place to be a traveller's paradise. I mean, forget those with a passion for travelling; these days, whoever you see wants to go to Ladakh. Thanks to the social media and the numerous pictures you have seen, Ladakh has become the oh-so-beautiful destination.
Before you start judging me, let me assure you that I have also been through that phase. Who wouldn't want to go to a place so beautiful? But at the same time, I have known far too many travellers and learnt about far too many experience before reaching the conclusion of not wanting to go. Here's what I want to tell others--get over for the good. Reasons? Here are a few:
It's way too far: Try reaching Ladakh from any part of the country, it can never be reached in a day. Unless you are planning to take the flight. But, what's the use of going to Ladakh if you are not travelling by road? I have heard that the views that one gets on the Srinagar-Leh highway are more beautiful than the destination itself. Besides, you will need to take a leave of at least 10 to 15 days to cover the entire belt. If you think your boss is kind enough, go ahead. Just to get the facts in place, Leh is 1,262 km from New Delhi. That's some journey!
It is expensive: Yes, you read that right. Ladakh is certainly expensive. This is one harsh truth very few people will tell you. After all, the so called "homestays" and hotels and local cafes of Leh won't confess that they have increased the prices because of so many international tourists visiting the place. No doubt, it is great for the region's tourism industry, but at the same time, it will certainly burn a hole in your pocket. Allow me to quote a person's post on Quora: "If you are backpacking as a bachelor and book tickets to Leh well in advance and stay in homestays, used shared taxis it will be around 40K. If not budget for 60-70K. Keep in mind transportation is most expensive in Ladakh if you want dedicated taxi." So, now you know what I am talking about.
