Tour Itinerary
(6 Nights 7 Days)

Day 1

Arrival at Leh Airport+Acclimitization Only

Upon arrival at Leh Airport, you shall be picked up in your exclusive vehicle and transferred to your hotel. Leh was the capital of the erstwhile kingdom of Ladakh. Ladakh is now a Union Territory of India. Set amidst the Epic Himalayas, Ladakh is a rustic and heavenly travel destination. The rugged valleys and mountains, winding roads coupled with the vibrant cultural life maintain the exuberance and charm of this region. Today is the day for acclimatization. Have sufficient rest to get adjusted to the high altitude of the Ladakh region.

Day 2

Explore Leh & Sham Valley

After breakfast, explore Leh. Leh was an important stopover on trade routes along the Indus Valley between Tibet to the east, Kashmir to the west and also between India and China for centuries. Mountains dominate the landscape around Leh as it is at an altitude of 3,500m. Today, visit Shey & Thiksey Monastery with Leh Palace & Spituk Monastery, Hall of Fame & Shanti Stupa. The Shey Monastery or Gompa, 15 kilometers to south of Leh; the ruins of this former summer palace of the kings of Ladakh is perched high up on a rocky cliff. The 12m Sakyamuni Buddha statue made of gold-plated copper by King Singge Namgyal's son Deldan Namgyal, is the largest in the area. King Deldan Namgyal constructed Shey Palace in the early 17th century AD. Leh Palace is a former royal palace overlooking the town of Leh. The palace was abandoned when Dogra forces took control of Ladakh in the mid-19th century and forced the royal family to move to Stok Palace. Spituk is yet another interesting monastery, on the hill top near Indus about 18 kms from Leh on Srinagar road. The Spituk monastery offers a commanding view of Indus. It has a totally new Gompa within the monastery as well as the old Gompa has also been restored. It is constructed in a series of tiers with courtyards and steps. Higher up in the hill is a chamber which houses the enormous statue of goddess. Its face is covered and uncovered only once in a year during the festival time. Thiksey Monastery, affiliated to Gelugpa or the Yellow Hat sect of Buddhism, is located at a distance of around 19 km from the town of Leh. The 12-storeyed monastery is built atop a hill and structured in a unique hierarchical manner, where the top of the hill has the monastery and the official residence of the chief Lama while the foot of the hill has living quarters. Hall of Fame is a museum constructed by the Indian Army in memory of the brave Indian soldiers who laid down their lives defending the motherland in the Indo-Pak wars. Later in the evening, visit the ‘Shanti Stupa’. The Shanti Stupa is a white-colored domed-shaped structure, which looks extremely beautiful during night when it is illuminated. This peace pillar was built by a Japanese Buddhist Organization to celebrate the completion of 2500 years of Buddhism and for the promotion of world peace. One can reach the top via road or by climbing 500 steps. Reaching the top via those steps (at such altitude) gives a whole new dimension for your efforts, which one would understand once they reach the summit.

Day 3

Leh to Nubra(5-6 hours)

After breakfast, proceed towards Nubra. Over the mighty Khardung-La, first up visit the Diskit Monastery. The main and unique attraction of Diskit monastery is a gigantic statue of Lord Buddha on the top of it. This famous tourist attraction is considered as one of the oldest as well as the largest Buddhist center in Ladakh. The Diskit monastery was constructed during the 14th century by Changzem Tserab Zangpo. The huge 100foot Maitreya Buddha statue inaugurated by the well-known holy priest Dalai Lama is the key attraction among a number of tourists across the globe. Travelers love to experience the magnificent view of Nubra valley from the top of the monastery where the statue is installed. Later in the evening, experience the Double Hump Bactarian Camel Safari (own cost) on the sand dunes by the breathtakingly beautiful Shyok and Nubra River. These Camels were probably abandoned here centuries ago by passing caravans and have since flourished in this terrain

Day 4

Turtuk Day trip

After breakfast, proceed towards Turtuk. On the edge of Shyok Valley lies Indiau0092s northernmost village. Turtuk is a road fairly less travelled, beyond Nubra Valley, longer perhaps, but with some of the best views ever. Indiau0092s last major settlement is dotted with Apricot Trees all over and is a treat to your eyes come these summer months.. Listen close as locals here speak an interesting Balti language that uses old Tibetan sounds no longer used in modern Tibet. With wireless and Netflix taken over the gist of our lives, Turtuk is a magical elope. No Wi-Fi, no food chains, limited electricity and a unique language. Turtuk is at the other end of a time machine travelling into a totally different age. In the evening, back to Nubra.

Day 5

Nubra to Pangong via Shyok (7-8 hours)

After breakfast, proceed towards the great Pangong Tso. Pangong Lake, situated at a height of almost 4,350m, is the world’s highest saltwater lake. Its waters, which seem to be dyed in blue, stand in stark contrast to the arid mountains surrounding it. Extending to almost 160km, one-third of the Pangong Lake lies in India and the other two-thirds in China. Pangong Lake, one of the most famous lakes in Leh Ladakh, derives its name from the Tibetan word, ‘Pangong Tso’, which means ‘High Grassland Lake’. You could spend hours in contemplation here, and still not have enough of its beauty. Pangong Lake is also known to change colors, appearing blue, green and red at different times. The beauty which awaits you there cannot be described in words. It has to be seen, felt and absorbed within you.

Day 6

Pangong to Leh(6-7 hrs)

After breakfast, drive back to Leh, but not before you visit the mesmerizing 'Hemis Monastery' passing over the third highest pass 'The Changla Pass.' Hemis Monastery is a world heritage site of India founded by first incarnation of Stagsang Raspa Nawang Gyatso in 1630AD. The Monastery was re-established in 1672AD by King Sengge Namgyal. Hemis is honored as the largest monastic institution and is the wealthiest and the hoariest ancient remark of Leh. It is located on the west banks of Indus River. Hemis is a point of attraction for the tourist not only because of its location, but for the colorful festival of monastery held in June-July. Monastery is well known for the rich collection of ancient fragments made of Gold, Silver and Copper, scared Thangkas, Murals and various artifacts
