Many luxurious hotels can give you a very homely feeling. But when one visit’s a place that has a different culture, authenticity is something they look for. It can be achieved by spending times with the locals at different locations. It is a developing space and one should be aware of the availability of network and other facilities. A few months ago, prepaid networks were not operational in Leh and Ladakh and still, the problem continues. One must carry a post-paid sim card to avoid any type of discomfort.
