In view of recent incursion in Ladakh by the Chinese Army, many tourists planning to head to Ladakh are asking one question, “Is Ladakh safe for tourists?”

Answer to this question is a simple and a resounding, yes!

Incursions in Ladakh by the Chinese Army are nothing new, in fact since 2010, they have occurred 600 times, though most of the time they just come in and go out, instead of staying afoot, like they are doing at the moment.

However, the places where these incursions take place are nowhere near the tourist circuit, so as of now, tourists planning to visit Ladakh have nothing to fear about and there is absolutely no restriction in traveling to places like Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri, Dah and Hanu Villages.

Though like last year, inner line permit for places close to LAC eg. Chushul, Tsaga, Chummur etc. remain mostly out of bound and tough (if at all) to procure.

So if you are planning to head to Ladakh soon, don’t worry, go out there and enjoy one of the most beautiful part of India, full of wonderful and cheerful people.
