By Road: From Leh, one can head either towards Pangong Tso or Nubra Valley. This entails crossing high passes like Khardung La or Chang La, two of highest drivable roads on earth. These roads are not easy because they are very rocky hence one is recommended to have a four-wheel drive car.
Trekking: Most of the time, it’s appropriate to trek when you finally reach Kongka La Pass, Leh, Ladakh, India due to the lack of a road that extends all the way there because this area is remote and rough. The journey may also be quite demanding as one must have good fitness levels and acclimatisation for altitude sickness.
Permits: Special permits are required for travel due to the sensitivity of the border region. Those who intend to visit this place should know that these documents can be availed at the District Magistrate Office in Leh. Therefore, travellers are encouraged to apply for these permits beforehand and take accompanying registered guides who understand the local laws on movement and restrictions.
