To my mind it is totally safe, though given the sensitivity of the area, the Indian Army is everywhere. I had explained this in another mail : "Ladakh is part of Jammu and Kashmir state - yes that Kashmir! The state is divided into three parts - a Hindu south on the plains called Jammu, the Muslim Kashmir valley in the middle and the high altitude Buddhist north which is Ladakh. The south and north are largely peaceful, but the Kashmir valley is where all the troubles are - it shares a long border with Pakistan. Conversely, Pakistan's water supply is largely in India's hands because its main river, the Indus flows through India before it crosses over into Pakistan. The five main tributaries of the Indus, the Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej also have their sources in the Indian portion of the Himalayas, and flow a fair distance within Indian territory."
