Mobile phone connectivity in Leh (Kashmir)

Mobile phone connectivity in Leh (Kashmir) - Macbook Pro Beside White Ipad

I'll be travelling to Leh, Ladakh, India this August. Concerned about the mobile connectivity there. Is there mobile networks coverage in Leh and Pangong Lake area? If yes, is it good enough to use mobile internet?



Best Answer

Yes, you will have mobile connectivity. I used Airtel several years ago, worked pretty well.

You will need to buy the sim in Ladakh.

Naturally, you will have proper coverage in the Leh, but in the way or in the villages around much less change.

This website (Hebrew) have several useful tips (summary):

  • Sim card that bought in India won't work in Leh, Ladakh & Kashmir
  • Same for international plans
  • You need photocopy of your passport, tourist visa and passport photos.
