Hey everyone,

Just wanted to weigh in on the age-old question: Should you go with a group tour or plan the Ladakh trip yourself?

I’ve done both, and honestly, each has its pros and cons. Group tours are great if you want everything arranged — transport, permits, accommodations — while planning on your own gives more freedom and flexibility.

If you’re confused, I’d recommend checking out a detailed comparison I came across. It broke down the pros and cons in a very practical way, and helped me decide the best route for my budget and travel style.

Both options are great — it just depends on what kind of experience you're looking for
