Planning a lakah trip with friends.

One thing I noticed is the standard itinerary

One day each in leh - nubra- turtuk - Pangong - hanle.

It involves travelling every day about 5-6 hours.

Isn't this too rushed for a trip ?

Just want to know from people who have already done this.

Hi!

My family and I are going to Ladakh for 8 days next month. Looking for suggestions for trousers, trekking shoes, windcheaters and gloves etc.

If someone purchased these and have links from Amazon/Blinkit etc that will be great.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning my first trip to Ladakh this September and would love some advice from people who’ve been there around the same time.
My current plan is:
Fly to srinagar.
Go by car to leh with a frnd
Spend 2 days acclimatizing.
Rent a bike in Leh.
Ride to Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tso Moriri, Hanle, Lamayuru, and Kargil over about 10–12 days.
A few questions:
Is September a good month for a bike trip, or should I expect any road closures or landslides ?
How cold does it get during the day and at night?
What riding gear and clothing are absolutely essential?
Are there any routes or places you’d skip or definitely add?
Any common mistakes first-time riders make in Ladakh?
If you visited in September, what was the biggest challenge you faced?
I’m mainly traveling for photography and videography, so I’d also appreciate recommendations for scenic sunrise/sunset spots or lesser-known roads.
Thanks in advance! Any tips or personal experiences would be really helpful.

Hey,
Reaching to Leh on 16th July, travelling solo. Would love to meet people matching similar dates.
