Start your Ladakh adventure by exploring the Leh Market, a colorful maze of shops and stalls offering traditional goods and handicrafts. You can find everything from beautiful Pashmina shawls to quirky souvenirs here. Interact with locals, and experiment with traditional street foods.
Live your dreams with a trek on the Chadar in Zanskar. It is one of the toughest and most glamorous treks in Ladakh. It involves walking over the frozen Zanskar River, which is an unforgettable experience. The trek is open from January to February, so check the dates beforehand.
Visit one of the most beautiful and Picturisque lake, Pangong Lake. Situated at an altitude of 4,350 m in the Himalayas, it looks awe-inspiring against the backdrop of the mountains. Hike or indulge in photography to capture the beauty of the place. Do not forget to carry warm clothes as the temperature drops drasitcally post sunset.
Take a ride to the Nubra Valley, nicknamed the "Tri-armed valley" that has so many beautiful landscapes to offer. Don't miss camel rides in sand dunes. Visit the Diskit Monastery, which has a magnificent statue of Maitreya Buddha. Head to Hunder village for a night in a traditional homestay before heading back to Leh.
For adventure enthusiasts, go for the Markha Valley Trek instead of Chadar Trek if it's summertime or if you have a few extra days on hand. You could also opt for a biking trip to Khardungla Top—the world's highest motorable road. Alternatively, if you have more time, spend a day exploring the inner workings of Hemis National Park and Tso Moriri Lake.
