I would like to spend some time - around a month exploring the Leh district in North India.

Some friends advised me not to go, but they were there a long time ago (10 years or so). I have also seen more recent accounts on the Internet that it might not be a good idea to go there.

I am 34 well travelled man and plan to do some trekking around there if possible. In the first half I will be with a girl friend and the second alone. If camping is an option I would not mind it. Season is August - September.

Is it safe(r) to go now? Anyone been there recently?

Do not take the Srinagar route if you are going now because of the recent protest and most areas of Kashmir are under curfew these days. Manali - Leh route is absolutely fine as far as security is concerned and whole of Ladakh is good as far as security is concerned. Road (travel) Safety is a different aspect and out of the scope of this thread.

It is safe. Hope you enjoy your travel :) I traveled to Leh in 2010. The place should not be missed.

Anu Motors in Manali have a good network of good people. They extensively travel to Leh and back as part of groups. You can approach them for more information and help.
