If you want to do something really cool, ride a scooter to Leh Ladakh. But you need to be very careful with your money because the place is very remote and hard to get around at a high level. Things like whether you go by yourself, with a group, or on a planned tour can change how much a trip costs. But ₹45,000 to ₹75,000, which is $540 to $910, is a good amount of money for a trip by yourself that lasts 12 to 15 days.
The price of renting a Bike for the Leh Ladakh Trip
A lot of people say the most expensive part is the motorbike itself. You have to rent a real bike, like a Royal Enfield Himalayan or Classic, if you don't have your own. The daily rate is ₹1,400 to ₹2,800, based on the type of car and how good it is. The rent alone will cost between ₹16,800 and ₹33,600 for a 12-day trip.
The Cost of Fuel
Fuel is one of the next most pricey things. It usually takes more than 2,500 km to get to and around Ladakh from places like Delhi or Manali. For gas, you should set away ₹12,000 to ₹18,000. This is true because cars use less gas on roads high in the mountains. There aren't many gas stations, so you have to plan ahead and sometimes buy pricey gas from trash cans. This math is very important.
Accommodation Cost
You need to know where to stay and what to eat. In each case, the cost is different. Outside of Leh, shared tents, guesthouses, and homestays cost ₹700 to ₹1,500 per night, making them cheap places for tourists to stay. On the other hand, a nice hotel in Leh or a first-class campsite at Pangong Lake will cost more than ₹3,000 per night. It costs between ₹8,400 and ₹36,000 to stay in a hotel for 12 nights.
You can get cheap food, mostly Indian and Tibetan food from the Momos and Thukpa areas. Three meals and snacks should cost around ₹900 to ₹1,500 a day, or ₹10,800 to ₹18,000.
Other Cost
A Ladakh budget should have a fund in case something goes wrong. When you buy an Inner Line Permit (ILP), you can enter places like Nubra Valley and Tso Moriri that not everyone can. There will almost certainly be broken down cars, flat tyres, and small fixes, though, because the roads in the Himalayas aren't always safe. Add an extra 10% to 15%, or ₹5,000 to ₹10,000, to your budget in case something goes wrong with the car, the road closes, or you end up in the hospital with AMS. This will help the trip go quickly and safely.
