You will be responsible to purchase your flights, yet we of course are here to help you for any information you might need. You will fly in and out of New Delhi for your international flight. Then book a local flight from New Delhi to Leh.

Book your international roundtrip flight from your hometown to NEW DELHI (DEL Indira Gandhi Airport) It will be necessary to book local Indian flights from Delhi to Leh separately.

International:

International arrival date:

• If possible, we recommend arriving in Leh (IXL Kushok Bakula Rinpoche Airport) June 4th or 5th so you can rest and acclimate for two days to feel fresh for the retreat.  At the very latest, plan to arrive on June 6th because the retreat begins in the morning of the 7th. We recommend trying to get an international flight that arrives in the morning in Delhi, then you can continue on to Leh which is much more pleasant to rest, and no need to get a hotel in Delhi.

International departure date: 

• The retreat ends the morning of June 21st. You are welcome to travel from Leh to New Delhi and journey home that evening if you wish.

• It would be best to book an outgoing international flight late in the day if you plan to travel home on June 21st, because LEH flights are often later arrival.

Local

Local flights From Delhi to Leh:

• SpiceJet and IndiGo each have late morning flights New Delhi to Leh. There are no afternoon flights leaving New Delhi for Leh, at the time of composing this note.
  A roundtrip ticket in Economy will cost approximately $130 - $200.

• For the return flight from Leh to New Delhi on June 21st, there are multiple morning options, and a few afternoon options.

• Of course one-way options are available as well.

The FAQ document below will answer many of your questions. Here are 4 highlights that may help to shape your plans.

1.) To our knowledge, no travel vaccines are required by law for India if you are coming from the US. But yellow fever vaccine may be required for some other countries, including if you recently visited countries on that list. Please double check online about your departing country.

2.) Visas to India can only be applied for 30 days before arrival, and can be done online.

3.) Ladakh is high in altitude, yet we will not be going on overly adventurous hikes. So if you have good to moderate health, you should be able to adapt just fine in the Himalayan region we will visit.

4.) We recommend that you consider arriving at least two days before the journey begins to sleep and adapt from potential jet lag so you are fresh for the first day of teachings.

5.) If you would like to join H.H for additional teachings while you are already in Ladakh, these are the additional dates. Please note this is not included in the retreat, but we are happy to help you with logistics!
