Leh-Ladakh
Leh – Ladakh Day wise itinerary 5 Nights/6 days
Day-1 Arrival in Leh
Arrival at Leh. Spend the day in the hotel for rest and acclimatization. Visit Shanti Stupa and Leh Palace in the evening.
Day 02: Leh – Sham region local sightseeing
After breakfast, drive to Spituk Monastery, Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, Hall of Fame Museum, and Sangam (Confluence of Zanskar & Indus River). O/N Leh.
Day 03:Leh/Nubra Valley(148 Kms/6 hrs)
After breakfast, we drive to Nubra Valley. The road journey from Leh to Nubra Valley passes over Khardung La (The Highest Motorable Road In The World) at 5,602 Mtrs / 18,390 Ft, around 39 km from Leh. From the pass, one can see all the way south over the Indus valley to seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the Sasser massif. Nubra Valley is popularly known as Ldumra or the Valley of Flowers. It is situated in the north of Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas. The average altitude of the valley is 10,000 Ft. above sea level. Upon arrival in Nubra, we check in at our Camp in Hunder to relax and get refreshed. In the evening, we drive to Hunder where you have the opportunity to ride on a Bactrian camel (double-humped) amidst the dunes of this high-altitude desert with snow-capped mountains on the horizon. Between Hunder and Diskit you come across sand dunes beside the road. It is indeed a strange sight since immediately on the left of the road are rocky mountains that characterize the Ladakhi landscape and in the distance can be seen snow-capped mountains. Dinner and overnight at the Camp.
Day 04. Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake via Shayok Valley. 155 Kms/6-7 hours.
After an early breakfast leave for Pangong Lake through the Shayok Valley. Probably one of the most beautiful drives as you are driving alongside the mighty Shayok River. Chances are that you spot some wildlife in the area. Reach Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000 feet (4,267 m). The lake is bisected by the international border between India and China. The lake became a rage with Indian tourists after Amir shot the climax of his film 3 Idiots and Ladakh became a destination overnight. On a sunny day, the reflection of the sky makes the colour of the lake look turquoise blue in contrast with the earthy mountains to make pictures look unreal and surreal. Enjoy the landscape in the backdrop of the Lake. One rarely feels so close to nature and the environment and the scenery are unforgettable. Evening at leisure and overnight stay at the camp near the lake.
Day 05: Pangong Lake – Leh 140 KMs/ 4-5 Hrs
