Highlights

Day-by-day itinerary

  1. Arrive Leh · Rest · Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa — Our representative meets you at Leh's Kushok Bakula Rimpochee airport, which is about 3,500 m above sea level, and takes you to your hotel 3–4 km away. Check in and rest properly first, because getting used to the altitude is a must in Ladakh. Later, set out for light sightseeing at Leh Palace, a nine-storey former royal palace built by King Sengge Namgyal in the 17th century and modelled on the…
  2. Sham Valley · Alchi, Likir, Hall of Fame and Magnetic Hill — After breakfast, drive out to Alchi, a village known for Alchi Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Ladakh and a national heritage site, with well-preserved wall paintings from the 11th or 12th century in an Indo-Himalayan style. Continue via Uleytokpo to Likir Monastery, first built in the 11th century and rebuilt in the 18th, which has a 25-foot (7.6 m) gold-covered Buddha statue. On…
  3. Day trip to Nubra Valley over Khardung La — This is a long day: you drive to Nubra Valley and back to Leh on the same day, so expect many hours in the vehicle. After breakfast, cross Khardung La, which the supplier puts at 5,602 m and which is one of the highest motorable passes. On the way you get wide views of the Indus valley, the Shyok river and the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges. In Nubra, visit Hunder, known for its sand dunes and…
  4. Day trip to Pangong Tso over Chang La — Another long day, with a full-day drive to Pangong Tso and back to Leh, so you spend a large part of it on the road. After breakfast, cross Chang La, which the supplier puts at 5,360 m. On the way you see small villages, mountains, yaks, nomads and the Changthang valley. At the lake, take in the views of Pangong Tso. It is about 136 km long and up to about 5 km wide, with a little under half of…
  5. Departure from Leh — After breakfast at the hotel, you are taken to Leh airport for your onward flight. Flights are not part of this package. The tour ends here.

Good to know

Questions travellers ask

Do we stay overnight in Nubra Valley or at Pangong Lake?

No. In this package, Nubra and Pangong are both day trips, and you sleep in the same Leh hotel all four nights. The trade-off is two long drives, and less time at each place than an overnight trip would give.

Why is the first day mostly rest?

Leh is at about 3,500 m, and your body needs time to adjust to the thin air. You rest at the hotel first, and only later in the day go for light sightseeing at Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa.

How long are the drives to Nubra and Pangong?

Both are full-day trips with a long drive there and back on the same day, crossing high passes. The supplier has not given exact times, so plan for most of the day in the vehicle.

Is the camel ride at Hunder included?

No. The double-humped Bactrian camel ride is optional, and you pay for it there.

Which permits and fees do we pay ourselves?

The Inner Line Permit (about Rs 700 per person), the Ladakh environment fee and monastery or entry fees are not included in the package price.

Is oxygen provided in the vehicle?

No, oxygen is not included. If you are worried about altitude, speak to your doctor before travelling and arrange anything you need at your own cost.

Are flights included?

No. The package starts with pickup at Leh airport and ends with drop at Leh airport, and you book your own flights.

Which meals are included?

Breakfast and dinner every day, except dinner only on arrival day and breakfast only on departure day.
