It’s always wise to arrive as early in the morning as possible to avoid rush especially in peak season
It is always wise to download this inner line permit form and fill it in advance and carry self attested photocopies of nationality proof and Photo-IDs (license, voter ID, passport etc.)
Inner line permits are valid for 3 weeks if you are an Indian and 1 week if you belong to foreigner country
Carrying self attested photocopies of nationality proof and Photo are a must to obtain inner line also called protected area permits
Besides permit application form, you need to write a request application letter addressing DC of Leh – Ladakh district for the approval of your permits
Permit fee include 3 components which are Rs. 200 per person as environment tax (one time) + Rs. 20 per person per day as wild life protection fee and Rs. 10 Red Cross Donation
