Ladakh in December is very cold. The temperature reaches above freezing point. Days are bearable with 2 degree Celsius but nights are chilling with temperature -20 degree Celsius. So its better to avoid Ladakh. https://www.funstay.in/ladakh-tour-packages You can check out the following link for best season, places to visit in Ladakh. Goa is best to visit in December with your gang. Relax and refresh yourself, indulge in water sports or take bikes and roam. Hike in Dhudhsagar and take a dive in the falls. If not Goa you can check out Kerala, Coorg, Lonavala.

There is no doubt in that December is the coldest month in Ladakh when the district is totally cut-off from rest of India by road.
Although you can see that the roads to Pangong Tso Lake and beautiful Nubra Valley over KhardungLa Pass and Chang La Pass are kept open all round the year, leaving few days of snowfall. The winters on the “roof of the world” can get intolerable. The temperature remains Maximum 2° C, Minimum -12° C during this time of the month.
Most of the roads and the highways remain closed during this time. Ice sheets thick as six inches can be found on lakes and waterways. You will see very less tourist during this time as they do not prefer to travel during winters.
