    Getting TO/AROUND: Jet Airways offer a comfortable flight from Delhi (daily)which last around an hour.
    Indian Airlines operate a similar flight as well.

    The other option is to drive up to Leh via Manali, or via Srinagar. Its a long drive though, but those who opt for the option are promised some great views en route!
    The taxis rides across the daunting landscape that makes Ladakh may seem like they arent for the weak hearted. The winding blind turns, narrow roads with steep drops- often with the river Indus straight down below... it could make for some hair raising moments for the unaccustomed tourists. Travel tip- trust your driver, they have been doing the same stretches 365 days a year. Hoever, if they seem rash, thats when u reign them in...

    Getting TO/AROUND: Hiring a taxi in Ladakh is relatively expensive, but the good thing is that it is a unionised affair, and rates are standardised- you can ask for a list of rates and destinations which every taxi operator will carry.
    A sample of fares- about rs.6000 return for lake Tso Mororiri, which is about 6 hours away. To stay the night, the driver will charge an added rs.475. (rates as of august 2002)
    If you can travel in a larger group, it works out quite cheap, since its not per person, but per vehicle.
    During the off-season, things go much cheaper.
