Are you looking for a shared taxi in Ladakh to save costs on your trip? Or are you a solo traveler or a couple who would like to share the high taxi costs in Ladakh?
If you are traveling alone or as a couple, the taxi charges on your Leh Ladakh trip can make a deep hole in your pocket. The private taxis are costly in Leh, but you will be able to find the tourist shared taxis too within Ladakh without much fuss at all.
There are lots of flyers that people put at cafes, dine-ins, restaurants, travel agent desks/shops/whiteboards wanting to share taxi costs for different trips within Ladakh. Even travel agents organize such tourist shared taxis trips as well but charge a little higher about Rs 200-300 more than it would ideally cost. So, in the worst case, you can always go back to them and book a seat for yourself on such trips to save the cost of a taxi in Ladakh.
Gelling up with people in Ladakh is more or less easy because many people travel solo and look forward to meeting new people and share cultural thoughts and values over the trip. Nowhere else in the world you will find more smiling and helpful people as Ladakhis.
If you are unable to find shared tourist taxi in Ladakh, then you can hop on to any local shared taxi, but the disadvantage will be that it will not stop in between for sightseeing on the route to a destination. Such shared taxis you can use to reach destinations like Nubra Valley or Pangong Tso or Tso Moriri, but then they do not stop in between to take pictures.
Alternatively, you can also find online travel partners to share taxi costs in Ladakh trips. You can also check the DoW Travel Calendar. There have been about 1000+ entries of the people planning their trips in the last few seasons which helped them have better visibility for finding out travel partners online for their Ladakh trips.
