Leh Ladakh 05 Nights 6 Days

After breakfast, we drive towards the western part of Ladakh, along the beautiful Indus River on the Leh -
Srinagar highway. Our first destination for the day is the legendary Hall of Fame, which is a museum founded
by the Indian Army as a tribute to the gallantry of those Indian soldiers who lost their lives to protect the
country. A visit to the Hall of Fame is bound to spark that patriotic spirit within.
We proceeded further to the Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, nestled snugly in the laps of the Himalayan
Mountains. This 15th-century gurudwara is a mere 5 km drive from the iconic Magnetic Hill, a scientific
anomaly that defies the laws of gravity!
Further along the journey, we halt at Sangam - the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers. You can see
the two, distinctly coloured rivers merge beautifully in the laps of lofty mountains.
After visiting above places we drive back to Leh via Spituk Monastery. Towering over the pristine Indus River,
the monastery dates back to the 11th century and presently houses about 100 monks.
The monastery used to follow the Kadampa school of Buddhism until the 15th century, when the Gelukpa
school of Buddhism was founded, and can still be seen in practice with the Gelukpa order.
Overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, we drive to Nubra valley. The journey from Leh to Nubra spans 39 km and passes through the
iconic Khardung La Pass. At an altitude of 17,582 ft., it is one of the five highest motorable roads in the
world. Shrouded in a blanket of snow, the pass affords you sweeping views of the Indus Valley, along with the
seemingly endless Zanskar range in the south. To your north, behold the magnificent Saser massif in all its
glory. Adorned with fluttering prayer flags, Khardung La top is arguably the most picturesque location in
Ladakh. From Khardung La, we continue the journey to Nubra valley, also known as Ldumra or the Valley of
Flowers. Sitting at an altitude of approximately 10,000 ft., it is nestled in the north of Ladakh, right between
the Ladakh Himalayas and the Karakoram range. Once at Nubra, we check into our camps/hotel in Hunder for
the night. Take in the breathtaking views of the lush oasis villages set as a stark contrast amidst barren
mountains. These villages give you a rare glimpse into the fascinating lives of the locals. A visit to a Ladakhi
home can also be arranged. Overnight stay at the camp/hotel.

This morning followed by brekfast drive to Pangong Tso (lake), which is the largest brackish lake in Asia. A
large part of it extends into Tibet. The lake is 80 miles (130 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) at its widest point. It
freezes completely in winter and there's no marine life here, except for a few migrating birds like gulls and
Brahminy ducks. As this is a border region, the furthest point you're allowed to go to is Spangmik, from where
there are spectacular views of the mountains of the Changchenmo range to the north, as well as their

reflections in the ever-changing surface of the blue-green lake. Above Spangmik are the glaciers and snowcapped
peaks of the Pangong range. Spend the night on the shores of Pangong Tso. Overnight stay at the
hotel.

Morning at leisure to explore the beauty of lake and later we drive back to leh en-route visiting Hemis
monasterya, the largest monastic foundation of Drukpa Kagyut Order of Tibetan Buddhism. Drive further to
Leh and check in at our hotel for Overnight In the evening you can stroll around the market place for some last
minute souvenir shopping.

After an early breakfast, we drive you to Leh’s Kushok Bakula Rinpoche Airport for your flight. Fly back with
the sweet memories of Ladakh, both in your hearts and in your camera!
