Itinerary: 13 hari kembara Ladakh, Delhi & Agra

Itinerary Ladakh, Delhi & Agra

India adalah antara destinasi yang kaya dengan budaya, tempat sejadah dan juga landskap cantik. Negara ini sangat luas dan mempunyai banyak spot-spot menarik untuk dilawati. Kali ni kami nak kongsikan pengalaman trip 13 hari ke sana oleh seorang followers Kaki Travel iaitu Shamini Thevi yang telah mengembara ke Ladakh, Delhi & Agra di India.

Perkongsian gambar dan itinerary Ladakh, Delhi & Agra di India. Asalnya plan kami untuk ke Kashmir and then buat road trip ke Leh. Tapi sebab security issues, kami terpaksa spend time explore Delhi and then fly ke Leh. Risau jugak bawa budak kecil (9 tahun), takut dia tak cukup acclimatization. So this itinerary is planned to have enough rest for body to get acclimatized before kami pergi ke higher altitude. Thankfully, our boy was super healthy and active and enjoyed every bit of the journey.

Time travelled: Bulan September, sebab weather was good (not too cold). Jalan pun ok especially out of Leh sebab musim monsoon dah over. Less tourist masa September.

  • Advisable to get a guide and who can tell you details on the beauty of Taj Mahal.
  • Entrance fees Rs 1100/pax + Rs 200/pax (untuk masuk mausoleum). Take the mausoleum package when buying the ticket. Dah sampai Taj Mahal, macam rugi je kalau tak masuk mausoleum.

Sedikit tips jika anda hendak ke Leh :

• Bawa bekalan ubat-ubatan. Selain daripada bandar Leh, kebanyakkan tempat tidak mempunyai farmasi.
• Berhati-hati dengan Altitude Mountain Sickness. Oleh kerana tempat ini merupakan kawasan tanah tinggi, ia boleh mendatangkan isu kesihatan terutamanya kepada yang mempunyai sakit jantung ataupun asthma
• Beri masa secukupnya untuk badan anda accilmatize dengan altitud tinggi. Boleh spend 48 jam di bandar Leh. Hari pertama, kalua fly ke Leh, rehat je. Sakit kepala, rasa mual adalah simptom2 mountain sickness. Drink a lot of water.
• Berikan buffer 1-2 hari sebelum anda terbang pulang. Cuaca di kawasan tanah tinggi ni boleh berubah secara drastik.
