Tour Itinerary
Arrive at Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, Leh via your morning Delhi-Leh flight (air inclusive package). Meet our representative at the exit gate and enjoy a comfortable transfer directly to your hotel.
Since Leh is located at a high altitude of 11,500 ft, this first day is strictly reserved for complete rest and acclimatization. This is crucial to adjust to the high Himalayan elevation safely and avoid mountain sickness.
In the evening, if you feel comfortable, enjoy gentle sightseeing starting with the iconic white dome of Shanti Stupa, which offers panoramic sunset views of Leh city. Later, explore the historic Leh Palace, a 17th-century royal structure reflecting rich Ladakhi heritage and architecture.
- Altitude: 11,500 ft (Leh)
- Inclusions: Airport pickup, hotel check-in, breakfast & dinner
- Evening Sightseeing: Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace
- Travel Tip: Rest well, stay hydrated with plenty of water, and avoid alcohol or overexertion.
After a hearty breakfast, proceed for a full-day sightseeing tour across the legendary Sham Valley highway loop.
Visit the emotional Hall of Fame, a war memorial museum built and maintained by the Indian Army honoring brave soldiers. Continue along the road to Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, a historic sacred site associated with Guru Nanak Dev Ji's journey through the Himalayas.
Experience the mind-boggling phenomenon at Magnetic Hill, where vehicles appear to roll uphill against gravity due to a natural optical illusion. Later, witness the breathtaking Sangam Point, the dramatic confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers.
- Distance: 100 km round trip
- Highlights: Magnetic Hill, Hall of Fame, Sangam Point, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib

After an early breakfast, begin your mountain road journey towards Nubra Valley via Khardung La Pass, globally celebrated as one of the highest motorable roads in the world at 18,380 ft.
The drive is spectacular, crossing majestic snow-covered peaks, rugged high-altitude terrain, and sweeping canyon views. Upon descending into Nubra Valley, check into your camp or hotel.
In the afternoon, visit the famous Hunder Sand Dunes and enjoy a unique double-hump Bactrian camel safari through the mountain cold desert. Later, explore the 500-year-old Diskit Monastery (Diskit Gompa), famous for its giant Maitreya Buddha statue overlooking the valley.

After breakfast, embark on an incredible day excursion to Turtuk Village, the northernmost border village of India. Turtuk was under Pakistan's control until the 1971 war and was opened to tourism relatively recently.
The drive runs parallel to the beautiful Shyok River, showcasing changing rocky landscapes. Turtuk is culturally distinct, inhabited by Balti people who speak Balti language and follow a unique way of life separate from regular Ladakhi culture.
Enjoy a classic heritage village walk, explore the local apricot orchards, interact with the friendly locals, and catch views of the dramatic border peaks. Return to your camp/hotel in Nubra for the night.

Arrive at Pangong Lake (14,000 ft), internationally renowned for its ever-changing shades of blue, turquoise, and emerald green. The beautiful lake stretches across the border from India into China.
Take a relaxing walk along the shorelines, stop by the iconic 3 Idiots shooting point, and enjoy a breathtaking mountain sunset over the crystal-clear water. Check into your lakeside camp for the night.
