About the region:
Ladakh “land of high passes” is a region of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and lies between the Kunlun mountain range in the north and the main Great Himalayas to the south. As the highest plateau in the state, with much of it being over 3,000 m, it spans the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges and the upper Indus River valley. Stark and beautiful vistas characterize much of this high altitude desert region.

About the trip:
This trip will give you a quick glimpse into this phenomenon called Ladakh. It is a fly in and fly out of Leh trip with an introduction to the town of Leh and its offerings and culture, an insight into the high passes of Khardung La (world’s highest motorable road) into Nubra valley, further a visit to the high altitude lake and an adrenalin rush of rafting through the river Zanskar.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THIS ADVENTURE TRIP

Day 01: Arrival Leh

Early morning arrive into Leh and meet the driver and drive to your hotel in Leh. Settle in and have your breakfast in the hotel. This day is used to acclimatize well to the Leh weather and go for small, slow walks around Leh and its markets. Keep active, drink sufficient water, keep hydrated and keep warm. Overnight
in Leh.

Day 02: Leh Half day sightseeing

We treat this day as our acclimatization day again. Post late breakfast, is for sightseeing ‐ Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, Leh Palace, Hall of Fame and then head to the Shanti Stupa which is a Buddhist white‐domed stupa on a hilltop in Changspa. We enjoy the panoramic view of the city at sunset. From here we can choose to leave the vehicles and walk down to Leh taking some quiet, back roads and into the Leh market to wander around at leisure. Overnight at Leh.

Day 03: Leh Full day Sightseeing

This day is for taking in the sights of Leh and to acclimatize further before we head to the higher altitude driving excursions. We visit the Hemis Monastery, Thiksey Monastery and Stok Palace. Hemis stands on the western bank of the Indus River. The monastery also boasts of a very rich collection of ancient relics. It also serves as the venue of an annual festival, known as the Hemis Festival. Thiksey houses one of the largest Buddhist statues, the 15‐meter‐tall Champa, the Buddha of Future. Today, Thiksey is one of the most frequently visited monasteries in Ladakh. About a hundred monks live here. The Stok Palace is where the current royal family lives. The museum at the Stok Palace has an intriguing collection of Buddhist art, weapons, jewellery and artifacts, including thangkas painted with colors derived from crushed precious stones. Also on display are the ceremonial head dresses or ‘peraks’ of the erstwhile rulers of Ladakh. These headdresses are decorated with turquoise, lapis lazuli, coral and gold, making them an exotic sight. Overnight at Leh.

Day 04: Leh - Nubra Valley (3047m/ 9997ft; 125 km; 6 hrs drive)

Back on the road this time towards Khardungla Pass (5,602 m / 18,380 ft), the world’s highest motorable pass. After a photography session and acclimatization break on the pass we cross it and head towards Nubra Valley. Nubra Valley is sandwiched between the Karakoram Mountains to the north and the Ladakh range; to the south lie the Shyok and the Nubra rivers. The villages of Nubra are scattered along these two valley floors. This is a beautiful region that once formed a part of the Silk Route into Afghanistan. Because of the lower altitude a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and grains are grown here, creating an impression of abundance. In the evening we visit the beautiful sand dunes of Hundar. We check into our deluxe tented campsite.

Day 05: Nubra - Leh (3449 m / 11319 ft; 125 km; 6 hrs)

After breakfast, the group sets off to visit the white sand dunes and if lucky, one can take a ride on the double‐humped Bactrian camels. We have lunch at Hundar and then head to Diskit Monastery, behind which stands a 106‐foot‐tall Buddha statue, the tallest in the Ladakh region. Return back to Leh. Overnight stay in a hotel in Leh.

Day 06: Leh - Pangong Tso (4080 m / 13386 ft; 155 km; 10 hrs both ways)

Early morning, we drive to Pangong the world’s highest brackish water lake – Pangong, 150 km long and 4 km wide spans two countries, India and China (2/3rd of the lake lies in China). The sun paints its various hues on the canvas of the surrounding mountains as we watch spellbound, while walking on the shores of the lake. Evening is free for leisure. Overnight at hotel in Leh.

Day 07: Return to Leh. Evening at leisure.

Evening at leisure.
