Begin your adventure in the stunning desert landscape of Leh, the capital of Ladakh. Start with a visit to the Leh Palace, a famous landmark showcasing Tibetan architecture, followed by the Shanti Stupa, a spiritual monument with panoramic views of the region.
Today's journey takes you to the Nubra Valley, a verdant oasis in the middle of the Himalayas. En route, experience one of the highest mountain passes, Khardung La, and enjoy the stunning scenery. Stop by the Diskit Monastery, the largest and oldest Buddhist monastery in the region with a towering golden statue of Maitreya Buddha.
Today's adventure takes you to the famous Pangong Lake, a serene high-altitude saltwater lake with crystal-clear water that changes colors as the day progresses. Stop en route at the Thiksey Monastery, home to a fascinating collection of Buddhist relics and artifacts.
Explore the Hemis National Park, a natural reserve famous for its population of elusive snow leopards, followed by a visit to Tso Moriri Lake, famous for its unique geographical features and surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
Your final day takes you back to Leh to explore the city at your own pace, perhaps visiting the Stok Palace, shopping for local handicrafts at the Leh Bazaar, or simply enjoying the view from your hotel.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Alchi Monastery, famous for its impressive frescoes, and the Zanskar Valley, a stunning region renowned for its natural beauty. Alternatively, if you have less time, consider skipping one of the remote locations (Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Hemis National Park, or Tso Moriri Lake).
