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. 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 at the hotel, head out to explore the beautiful Sham Valley. This place offers a touching tribute to soldiers who lost their lives in the Indo-Pak wars, built by the Indian Army. Next, visit the Kali Mata Mandir, followed by the historic Spituk Gompa, a stunning 11th-century Buddhist monastery. Continue to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, built in honor of Guru Nanak Dev's visit in 1517. Experience the fascinating Magnetic Hill, where the road seems to defy gravity, and enjoy the scenic drive to the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers. After an inspiring day, return to the hotel for an overnight stay.
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, set out on a picturesque drive to the enchanting Turtuk border village, situated at the confluence of the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, overlooking the serene Shyok river. This historic village, home to the Balti tribe, is celebrated for its unique culture, traditions, and mouthwatering cuisine. Once under Pakistani control until India reclaimed it in 1971, Turtuk tells a poignant story of divided families, with many relatives residing across the border, visible from the village heights. A paradise for photographers, Turtuk offers stunning views, a glimpse into the vibrant local lifestyle, and delights such as its famed apricots and the captivating sword dance performed on special occasions. After an unforgettable day immersed in this culturally rich and scenic destination, return to Nubra for an overnight stay at the camp.

Dinner and overnight stay at the camp near Pangong Lake.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Alkof Holidays, we ensure smooth travel planning. Our FAQ covers everything from booking procedures and payment methods to travel itineraries, best times to visit, hotel upgrades, and more. For more assistance, contact us anytime.
The best time to visit Ladakh is from May to September. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and the high-altitude roads and passes are generally open, making it ideal for exploring the region’s stunning landscapes, including Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, and the monasteries. The clear skies and mild temperatures also offer excellent opportunities for outdoor activities like trekking, biking, and sightseeing.
Acclimatization is very important in Ladakh due to high altitude. Travellers are advised to rest for at least 24 to 48 hours in Leh before starting sightseeing to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
During winter, Ladakh experiences extreme temperatures that can plummet well below freezing. Daytime temperatures in December and January typically range from -5°C to -15°C (23°F to 5°F), while nighttime temperatures can drop even further, often reaching -20°C to -30°C (-4°F to -22°F). The cold is exacerbated by the region's high altitude and dry climate. Visitors should be prepared for these harsh conditions by dressing in layers with thermal wear, insulated gloves, and warm footwear to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.
To avoid altitude sickness in Ladakh, acclimatize gradually by spending a couple of days in Leh before ascending to higher altitudes. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and heavy meals, and take it easy for the first 24-48 hours. Consulting a doctor about preventive medication like Diamox can also help.
