If time permits, 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, drive to Nubra Valley, also known as Ldumra or the Valley of Flowers. Located north of Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges, this high-altitude valley sits at around 10,000 feet. En route, cross Khardung La, one of the world’s highest motorable passes at 18,300 feet, and enjoy spectacular views of snow-capped peaks. Upon arrival, check in at your camp for an overnight stay in Nubra Valley.
After breakfast at the camp, visit the silver sand dunes of Hunder, a unique high-altitude desert set along the Shyok River in Nubra Valley. Enjoy a camel ride on the famous double-humped Bactrian camels, once used along the ancient Silk Route. Continue to Diskit Monastery, the oldest and largest monastery in Nubra Valley, set on a hilltop with sweeping views of the valley. The towering Maitreya Buddha statue here is a major highlight. You may also take a short walk through Diskit village to experience local life. Later, drive back to Leh via Khardung La. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel for an overnight stay.
Early in the morning, carry your packed breakfast and drive to Pangong Tso Lake, a stunning high-altitude lake at 4,350 meters (14,270 feet), known for its striking blue waters set against barren mountains. The lake stretches for about 134 kilometers, with a large portion extending into Tibet (China). En route, visit Shey Palace, once the summer residence of Ladakhi kings, and Thiksey Monastery, perched on a hill overlooking the Indus Valley.
