Make Permit. Morning trips from Delhi to Leh with Go Air took 1 hour 25 minutes, we depart from Delhi at 6:40 a.m. and arrive on Leh at 08:05 a.m. Leh Airport, Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, is one of the three highly sensitive airports politically thus the security at the airport is very strict handled by CISF (Central Industrian Secutiry Force), considering that this area is part of the area that close to the border and prone to conflict and terrorism.
