How this geometry works
Each month's score starts from Leh's curated crowd baseline (85/100), scaled by its travel season (May–Sep), then amplified by real Indian holiday pressure — long weekends around festivals like Holi, Dussehra and Diwali — and school vacation windows. Off-season months score lower but can mean closed roads or rough weather; check the season notes above before booking.
