On your arrival at Leh Airport, an Alkof Holidays representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure to acclimatize to the altitude and climate in Leh. In the afternoon, visit the Leh Palace, also known as Lachen Palkar Palace, a former royal residence that offers stunning views of the city. Explore the picturesque white-domed Shanti Stupa perched on a hilltop, and later, stroll through the local market where you can shop for authentic Tibetan handicrafts such as prayer wheels, stoles, and Pashmina shawls. Enjoy an overnight stay at the hotel.
After breakfast, embark on a memorable journey to Khardung La Pass, the highest motorable pass in the world at 5,600 meters. Spend some time enjoying the breathtaking views before heading to Sham Valley. Visit the Kali Mata Mandir and the ancient Spituk Monastery, which dates back to the 11th century. Continue to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, built in memory of Guru Nanak Dev's visit in 1517, and experience the intriguing Magnetic Hill, where the road appears to defy gravity. Finally, witness the stunning confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers before returning to the hotel for an overnight stay.
Early in the morning, take your packed breakfast from the hotel and set off for Pangong TSO Lake, the world's highest saltwater lake at an elevation of 4,350 meters. The lake's brilliant blue waters contrast sharply with the surrounding arid mountains. Stretching over 160 kilometers, one-third of Pangong Lake lies in India, with the other two-thirds in China. On the way, visit Shey Palace, the former summer palace of the King of Ladakh. Next, explore Thiksey Monastery, perched on a hill and offering breathtaking views of the Indus Valley. Continue your journey to Changla Pass, at 5,486 meters, famous for quick photo ops. Then, drive down to the village of Tangtse for a relaxing tea break. Finally, proceed to Pangong TSO Lake. Upon arrival, check in at your camp. If time allows, take a stroll by the lake. Overnight stay at the camp.
After breakfast at the camp, spend the morning exploring the beautiful Pangong Lake and its surroundings. In the afternoon, drive back to Leh. On the way, visit Hemis Gompa, located 45 km from Leh. This monastery was re-established in 1672 by King Sengge Namgyal and hosts the annual Hemis festival in early June to honor Padmasambhava. Upon arrival in Leh, check in at the hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore the local market for some shopping. Overnight stay at the hotel.
It's time to bid farewell to Ladakh. Depart for Leh Airport in time for your onward journey.
