The AMD–DEL segment has ample frequency throughout the day, but you must catch the early connecting flight to Leh — afternoon arrivals into IXL are not available due to Himalayan crosswind constraints.
Cheapest time to fly & book
The Leh season runs roughly May to September; flights are sparse or suspended from November through March due to heavy snowfall. June and September sit in the shoulder zone and tend to offer somewhat lower fares. July–August sees peak demand from adventure tourists. Book the Delhi–Leh leg 6–8 weeks ahead — seats are limited and fill fast in season.

AMD to DEL is ≈ 1h 40m, and DEL to IXL is ≈ 1h 25m. With a layover of 2–4 hours at Delhi (often at T3), the total door-to-door time is ≈ 5–7 hours. Morning departures from Ahmedabad on the first flight connect well with Delhi–Leh morning slots. Afternoon AMD departures require an overnight stay in Delhi before the next morning's Leh flight.
