LEH Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Leh Airport.
What to Expect
High in the Himalayas, Leh Airport (code: LEH) has a tiny terminal for domestic flights. Travellers warn of the airport’s poor facilities. Expect dirty bathrooms, no heat or air conditioning, no true eateries, and no WiFi. Bring tissues, hand sanitizer, and your own snacks and entertainment.
Sleeping in Leh Airport
We do not yet have any sleep-related airport reviews, but it appears harsh lighting, extreme temperatures, and seats with armrests make it an uncomfortable place to spend the night. Have a backup plan if you’re planning to spend the night. For uninterrupted sleep, nearby hotels offer free shuttle service. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info, or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.
