5N 6D Leh Ladakh Discovery Package

Following breakfast, embark on a scenic drive downstream along the Indus River on the Leh – Kargil Highway. Commence your sightseeing with a visit to the Hall of Fame, a museum constructed by the Indian Army, showcasing significant contributions and sacrifices. Proceed to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, situated at an altitude of 3600 meters, about 22 kilometers from Leh, constructed in memory of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
Next on the itinerary is the intriguing Magnetic Hill, known for defying the law of gravity. Continuing the journey, just before Nimmu Village, witness the famous Confluence of Two Rivers - the Indus River originating from Tibet (left) and the Zanskar River from Zanskar Valley (right).
Following the river confluence, head to Alchi Gompa, a complex of temples within the village that dates back to the 11th century and is among Ladakh’s most celebrated monasteries. After exploring Alchi, return to Leh, making a stop at Likir Monastery, built in the 11th century and later reconstructed in the 18th century. The monastery houses a remarkable 25-feet gold-covered Buddha Statue. Finally, drive back to Leh, where you will have dinner and spend the night at the hotel.

Following breakfast, we set out on a picturesque drive to Nubra Valley. The road traverses Khardung La, standing at an impressive altitude of 5,602 meters (18,390 feet), marking it as the second-highest motorable road globally, approximately 39 kilometers from Leh. From this vantage point, one can gaze southward over the Indus valley, capturing breathtaking views of the seemingly infinite peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range. To the north, the giants of the Saser massif dominate the landscape.
Nubra Valley, also known as Ldumra or the Valley of Flowers, is nestled in the north of Ladakh, nestled between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas. The average altitude of the valley reaches 10,000 feet above sea level. Upon reaching Nubra, we check in at our Camp or Hotel in Hunder for an overnight stay. In the evening, take a leisurely stroll through the quaint villages, providing an opportunity to witness and appreciate the local way of life in this captivating region. Enjoy an overnight stay at the Camp or Hotel.

Following an early breakfast, we bid farewell to the camp or hotel and head towards Hunder. Here, you'll have the unique opportunity to ride on a Bactrian camel (double-humped) amidst the sand dunes of this high-altitude desert, with snow-capped mountains gracing the horizon. On the return journey, make a stop at Diskit, the headquarters of Nubra Valley. Take a leisurely stroll through the bazaar, observing local shops and people engaging in their daily routines.
Subsequently, we drive towards Pangong Tso via Agham and Shyok Valley. Be prepared for challenging road conditions, particularly on the Nubra side, but the journey is undeniably scenic. After conquering this adventurous part of the route, continue the drive towards Durbuk and Tangtse, passing through small villages of Changthang. Suddenly, the mesmerizing Pangong Lake comes into view, situated at an elevation of 14,000 feet (4,267 meters). Upon arrival, check in at our Camp or Hotel near Pangong Lake for dinner and an overnight stay.

Enjoy a leisurely morning to explore the breathtaking beauty of Pangong Lake. Later, commence the journey back to Leh, crossing the Changla Pass at 5486 meters. En route, visit Hemis Gompa, which stands as the largest monastic foundation of the Drukpa Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism. Proceed to Thiksey, an impressive complex that rises tier upon tier on a hill above the village. Another 5 kilometers through a picturesque landscape will lead us to Shey Palace, the ancient capital of Ladakh, and the location of the 3 Idiots Rancho School.
Continue the drive to Leh, where dinner and an overnight stay await you at the hotel.
