The following checklist may help you decide which company to go for:

 Check what is included in the price when comparing different companies, and balance that against what equipment you will need to buy if trekking independently.

 Many fully organised groups fly to Leh, although you might find a trek that starts in Darcha or even in Padum, getting there by bus or jeep.

 Make sure that there would be enough time for acclimatisation; beware of trips that are very short and at high altitude.

 Ask for details of the company’s insurance cover, and make sure that is broad enough.

 Examine the scheduled stages, the distances and altitudes.

 Note the number of people taken: the trek will probably be less enjoyable in a big group.

 Compare prices, bearing in mind all these points.

 Try to keep fit before the trip and follow any preparatory advice given by the tour operator.

No list of tour operators has been given in this guidebook. You may find useful advice in travel magazines and via reliable travel websites. Most of the reputable international trekking companies have trek options in Ladakh available.
