Some of the best-known places in Ladakh, including Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake, need an Inner Line Permit. On our tours the team arranges the permits for you, so the main job on your side is to carry the right ID.
Where you need a permit
The Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake legs of both our Ladakh tours need Inner Line Permits. Rules, fees and the places they apply to can change, so we check the current position before each batch.

Inner Line Permits, the Ladakh union fee and environmental or wildlife charges are included in the price of the motorcycle expedition and the Moon Land tour. Entry tickets for stupas, monasteries and sights are not included.
