Overview

Leh Ladakh in 6 days


Ladakh does not ease you in. You land at 11,500 feet, the air is thin and startlingly clear, and the mountains have no trees on them at all. Give it a day and the place resolves — whitewashed monasteries on ridgelines, barley fields in a cold desert, prayer flags strung over passes where the road tops out above 17,000 feet.

This itinerary is built around the altitude rather than in spite of it. The first full day stays in Leh. Only then do we cross Khardung La to the dunes at Hunder, and on to Pangong, where the lake changes colour through the afternoon and keeps doing it until the light goes. Vehicles are private, permits are arranged, and oxygen travels with you.

Trip highlights

  • Khardung La, one of the highest motorable passes in the world
  • Double-humped Bactrian camels on the Hunder sand dunes
  • A full sunset and sunrise on the shore of Pangong Tso
  • Thiksey, Hemis and Diskit monasteries at their morning prayers
  • Shanti Stupa and the Leh Palace over the old town
  • The Sangam of the Indus and Zanskar, and the Magnetic Hill road

Leh (2N) – Nubra Valley (1N) – Pangong Lake (1N)

Welcome to the land of high passes, where dramatic mountains, ancient monasteries, and crystal-clear skies create an unforgettable first impression. Upon arrival at Leh Airport, our representative will receive you and transfer you to your hotel. Since Leh is situated at an altitude of over 11,000 feet, the day is reserved for complete rest and acclimatization to ensure a comfortable journey ahead. In the evening, if health permits, enjoy a gentle stroll through Leh Market and soak in the peaceful atmosphere before returning to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in Leh.

After breakfast, begin exploring the rich culture and history of Leh. Visit the magnificent Shanti Stupa, the historic Leh Palace, and the Hall of Fame Museum, dedicated to the brave soldiers of the Indian Army. Continue to the sacred Gurudwara Pathar Sahib and witness the fascinating Magnetic Hill, where nature creates an incredible optical illusion. End the day at the scenic confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers before returning to Leh, where the evening is free for shopping or exploring the lively local market.

Following breakfast, embark on one of the world's most thrilling road journeys via the legendary Khardung La Pass, among the highest motorable roads on Earth. As you descend into the enchanting Nubra Valley, admire endless sand dunes, lush villages, and snow- capped peaks. Visit the famous Hunder Sand Dunes, where you can enjoy an optional double-humped Bactrian camel ride unique to this region. As the sun sets behind the mountains, experience the peaceful charm of Nubra before checking into your hotel or camp for an overnight stay.

Wake up amidst the serene beauty of Nubra before driving towards the world-famous Pangong Lake. The scenic route passes through remote villages, rugged mountain landscapes, and breathtaking Himalayan valleys. Upon arrival, witness the mesmerizing blue waters of Pangong stretching across India and Tibet, constantly changing shades with the sunlight. Spend time capturing unforgettable photographs and simply soaking in the silence of nature. As evening approaches, settle into your lakeside camp and enjoy a magical night under a sky filled with countless stars.

After an early breakfast, begin your return journey to Leh via the scenic Chang La Pass, enjoying panoramic mountain views throughout the drive. Upon reaching Leh, you will be transferred directly to the airport for your onward journey. As you leave Ladakh behind, carry with you unforgettable memories of towering mountains, pristine lakes, ancient monasteries, thrilling roads, and the unique culture that makes this Himalayan destination truly unlike any other.

This is a starting point. We rebuild the order, the pace and the hotels around your dates and your group before quoting.

Leh Ladakh FAQs

Leh sits at 11,500 feet, so the first day is deliberately kept free for acclimatisation — no sightseeing, no driving. We only climb to Khardung La and Pangong once you have had a full day at rest, carry oxygen in every vehicle, and brief you on hydration and pacing before departure.

Yes. Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake and Khardung La all need permits, and we arrange them for you. Carry your original photo ID — for Indian nationals an Aadhaar or passport, and for foreign nationals a passport with a valid visa.

The flights run year round, but the Manali–Leh and Srinagar–Leh highways are only clear from roughly June to October. May to September is the reliable window for the full Nubra and Pangong circuit; earlier or later and Chang La or Khardung La can close at short notice.

It depends on the person rather than the age. The altitude is the deciding factor, not the walking, which is light throughout. We ask for a doctor's clearance for anyone with a heart or respiratory condition, and we can shorten the Pangong night to a day trip where a lower sleeping altitude is safer.
