6 Days / 5 Nights – FIT Tour
Arrive at Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport and transfer to your hotel for rest and acclimatization. By late afternoon (3:30 PM), visit the serene Shanti Stupa for sweeping views over the Stok and Zanskar ranges. Continue to the 17th-century Leh Palace (5:00 PM) to explore mud-brick corridors, prayer rooms, and balconies glowing at golden hour. From 6:00–8:00 PM, wander Leh Market for pashmina, apricot products, prayer flags, and crafts. Keep the evening light—hydrate, avoid alcohol, and sleep early. Dinner and overnight in Leh.
Post breakfast, begin with the poignant Hall of Fame (9:00 AM). Continue to hill-perched Spituk Monastery (10:30 AM) for ancient murals and quiet chants. Pause at Gurudwara Pathar Sahib (12:00 noon) for langar and reflection, then witness the optical illusion at Magnetic Hill (1:00 PM). Roll on to the dramatic Indus–Zanskar Sangam (1:30 PM) for contrasting river hues and photo stops. Return toward Leh by late afternoon; evening at leisure for cafés, a gentle market stroll, or rest. Dinner and overnight in Leh.
Start early (7:00 AM) for Khardung La—one of the world’s highest motorable roads—where fluttering prayer flags frame glaciered peaks (brief stop only in thin air). Descend into Nubra and reach Diskit Monastery (~1:00 PM) to see the towering Maitreya Buddha gazing over the valley. Post lunch, continue to Hunder (3:00 PM) for the surreal white-sand dunes and a Bactrian double-humped camel ride. As the desert turns amber at dusk, settle into your Nubra camp/hotel. Clear skies favor stargazing. Dinner and overnight in Nubra.
After breakfast (8:00 AM), drive the ruggedly beautiful Shyok route—riverside gorges, cliff faces, and willow flats—to reach Pangong Lake by ~2:00 PM. The lake’s kaleidoscope—from cobalt to turquoise—unfolds against bare mountains near Spangmik. Spend an unhurried afternoon walking the shore, photographing reflections, and soaking in alpine silence. Capture sunset (~6:30 PM) as colors glow across water and ridge lines. Check in at your lakeside camp; nights are crisp—keep woollens handy. Dinner and overnight at Pangong.
Depart after breakfast (7:30 AM), cresting high valleys toward Hemis Monastery (~11:00 AM), Ladakh’s largest, with vibrant thangkas and a serene courtyard. Continue to Thiksey Monastery, a terraced complex recalling Lhasa’s Potala; visit the Maitreya hall for soaring murals. Stop at Shey Palace—former royal seat—then the Rancho School (Druk White Lotus) for a quick photo. Before Leh, pause at tranquil Sindhu Ghat by the Indus. Arrive Leh by ~5:00 PM for a relaxed farewell dinner. Overnight in Leh.
After breakfast, enjoy a slow morning—last-minute souvenirs (apricot kernels, hand-loomed woollens) or a short walk. Transfer to Leh Airport for your onward flight, carrying memories of monastery chants, wind-tossed prayer flags, starlit dunes, and the impossible blues of Pangong.
May–September (open passes, bright skies). Nights remain cold even in summer. Winters are stunning but harsh; many routes close—this plan suits the summer window.
Layered wear: thermal base, fleece, windproof jacket; beanie, gloves, UV sunglasses, SPF 50+, lip balm. Sturdy shoes, reusable bottle, ORS, snacks, and a daypack. Nights at Pangong are cold—carry extra woollens.
Leh sits ~3,500 m. Take Day 1 easy, avoid alcohol/smoking, hydrate well, eat light. If symptoms of AMS (persistent headache, nausea, breathlessness) worsen, inform your escort immediately.
Mountain roads are winding; timings may shift with weather/convoys. At Khardung La and high passes, keep halts short. Networks are patchy outside Leh—carry cash for remote cafés/restrooms.
Thoughtful acclimatization before high-pass days
Signature trifecta: Nubra dunes, Pangong, and classic Sham Valley icons
Minimal hotel hops; efficient loop via Shyok and monastery route
Day 01 – Light: Acclimatization + sunset sights
Day 02 – Moderate: Multi-stop valley circuit
Day 03 – Moderate/Heavy: High pass + dunes & monastery
Day 04 – Moderate: Scenic transfer, lakeside leisure
Day 05 – Moderate: Monastery trio + return
Day 06 – Light: Departure buffer
Add 1 buffer night in Leh if arriving on a late flight or sensitive to altitude.
Upgrade to heater-equipped rooms/tents (eco-heating where available).
Prefer sunrise/sunset at Pangong? Extend to a second lake night or swap the order seasonally.
An iconic Ladakh loop—Leh heritage, Nubra dunes, Pangong blues, and monastery grandeur—crafted for first-timers and photo lovers seeking big scenery with sensible pacing and cozy evenings.
Yes. Day 1 is intentionally light, Day 2 builds acclimatization in the lower Indus valley, then you cross Khardung La and sleep lower in Nubra before Pangong. Hydrate well, avoid alcohol, eat light, and rest early. Add a buffer day if you’ve had altitude issues before.
It’s possible from Leh in summer (about 5.5–6 hours each way), but the sunset glow and early-morning calm are the lake’s magic. An overnight at Pangong is recommended; carry warm layers as temperatures dip sharply after dusk.
Mobile networks are patchy beyond Leh; postpaid Indian SIMs work best. Many stalls prefer cash—carry small denominations for tea stops, restrooms, and entry fees. ATMs are primarily in Leh—withdraw before long drives.
UV400 sunglasses, SPF 50+, cap/hat, lip balm, moisturizer for dry air; plus thermal base layers, fleece, windproof jacket, gloves, and a beanie. Sturdy shoes, refillable bottle, ORS, and a light daypack help on passes and lakeside walks.
