Orientation & Getting Around: |
|
|
|
Public buses are the cheapest mode of travel. They are operated on various routes and stick to their time schedules. The most comfortable way to get around, however, is by taxi. Though expensive, cabs take you around on the basis of fixed point-to-point tariff. The newly opened areas of Nubra, Changthang and Dah-Hanu can be visited only through registered /recognised travel agencies.
