    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    India is not one country, climate-wise

    Rajasthan in February reads dry-cold; Kerala in February reads humid-warm; Sikkim in February might be under snow. Pack for the specific itinerary, not 'India in general'. Tibro's per-state tours are tuned to one climate at a time. Don't try to chain three of them back-to-back.

    2

    Tipping is structured, not arbitrary

    Driver tips at ₹500-1000 per day, guide tips at ₹500-1000 per half-day, hotel housekeeping ₹100 per day, restaurant 10% on top of any service charge already listed. Hand the driver/guide an envelope on the last day rather than tipping daily. It is more dignified for them.

    3

    Tap water and ice are a real consideration

    Every Tibro-tier hotel provides sealed bottled water in the room daily. Use it for brushing your teeth too. At restaurants, ask for "sealed bottled water" specifically. Some places will pour from a filtered jug, which is fine in some kitchens and not in others. Ice is the hidden trap; ask for "no ice" with cold drinks unless the hotel makes its own.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    The high country inverts the national calendar. May to September is the season — the only months the passes are open, the Rohtang, Kunzum and Baralacha crossings clear of snow and the valleys reachable at all. Winter is genuinely beautiful and almost entirely shut: roads closed, hotels drained down, whole valleys cut off for months at a time.

    Access sets this calendar, not comfort. An early or late snowfall can close a pass at a few hours' notice, so build a spare day into any itinerary that has to cross one.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Captivating view of the Shanti Stupa, a sacred Buddhist monument in Leh, Ladakh

    Day 1. First day, Leh, water and rest

    Day1
    ✦ Memoir

    Leh sits at 11,500 feet and the first day is for nothing. Sleep, water, no exertion. The hotel staff bring oxygen if asked and the chai comes with extra ginger. The rule from the army doctors is two litres before sundown and no shower in the cold.

    Leh01
    Shanti Stupa — Leh, India

    Day 2. Shanti Stupa at the gloaming

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    Shanti Stupa sits on a ridge above Leh. The white Japanese-built peace pagoda finished in 1991. The drive up at gloaming hour catches the Stok Kangri range turning rose; the locals come for the bell and the view rather than for the prayer.

    Leh02
    Stunning view of Leh city nestled below the snow-capped Himalayas under a clear blue sky

    Day 3. Khardung La pass, 17,582 feet

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    The Khardung La sign says world's highest motorable pass and the army-run tea stall sells black tea for ten rupees. The temperature dropped fifteen degrees on the way up; the descent into Nubra was through sand and apricot orchards. The pass is open seven months a year.

    Day 4. Pangong, the lake first sighted

    Day4
    ✦ Memoir

    Pangong Lake comes into view through a gap in the brown hills about three kilometres out. The blue is the colour pictures keep missing. The lake is 134 kilometres long and runs two-thirds into Tibet; the Indian side is the western quarter. The wind picks up after two and the surface goes white.
