  • To transmit critical route bulletins, roadblock warnings, AMS health reminders, and weather advisories to your registered mobile number via WhatsApp or SMS.
  • To ensure rapid coordination with mountain rescue teams and medical clinics in Keylong, Kaza, or Leh in medical emergencies.

Government & Military Checkpoint Disclosures

Operating across sensitive frontier zones like Spiti, Pangong Tso, Nubra Valley, Hanle, and Zanskar requires mandatory submission of traveler manifest records to authorized state agencies:

Statutory Compliance Notice:

We provide traveler details exclusively to verified statutory authorities, including the Indian Armed Forces border checkpoints, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Himachal Pradesh Police, and Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) for issuing inner line permits and search-and-rescue registries.
