The winter season starts from the month of October and continues till late February. Leh Ladakh climate in the winter season is very harsh and chilly with a minimum of -20 0C temperatures and a maximum of 10 0C temperatures. The months of January and February are the coldest months of Leh Ladakh and the temperature goes below the freezing point. But the adventure enthusiasts come here in these months for trekking on the frozen Zanskar River. This season is not an ideal time to travel to Leh Ladakh due to heavy snowfalls. The entire region of Leh Ladakh will be snowbound and all the roads get blocked with large piles of snow. Also, the water of lakes in Leh Ladakh gets completely frozen and solid ice so that one can easily walk on it. The electricity and water supply are hugely affected by the chilling weather conditions of this season.
