Srinagar, Kargil, Nubra Valley, Pangong, Leh.

Up the hills and into the valleys, this trip encompasses the beautiful lush green and wondrous arid hills of Kashmir and Ladakh. We start with the Shankaracharya Temple and Hazaratbal Shrine in Srinagar, both being equally archaeologically and religiously important sites. The Shankaracharya Temple is a 4th century worship place located on Gopadari Hill while Hazratbal Shrine was built next to the Dal Lake, the same lake where we’ll visit several Mughal Gardens that were built here, such as the Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. We won’t miss the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, which sees thousands of tulips bloom in April. We’ll pass the village of Sonamarg (Meadow of Gold) on our way to Kargil that brags one of the best views in Sindh Valley, and into the Gateway of Ladakh. We’ll visit Mulbekh Monastery in Zanskar which is actually a merge of two gompas on top of a crag. Followed by the largest monastery of Lamayuru that can still house 150 monks – it used to house over 400 during its peak when all five of its buildings still stood. We’ll go through some of the highest drivable roads as we make our way back to Leh with a short stop at Alchi Monastery, a home of ancient Buddhist shrines established by the one and only Rinchen Zangpo in the year 1000. The Likir Monastery in Saspol is the next Buddhist shrine complex we’ll visit before finally reaching the Confluence of the Indus and Zanskar River in Nimmu Valley. Enjoy an incredible view of the merging of two lifelines flowing through the dry and arid land of Ladakh and a view of the Zanskar Gorge that’s often visited by trekkers which the Zanskar River flows from. We continue driving along the Indus River and reach Gurudwara Patthar Sahib that was built in memory of Guru Nanak. As we continue driving through the unusual Magnetic Hill, we’ll reach the Hall of Fame that remembers the sacrifices soldiers made during the Indo-Pak wars where artifacts, weapons, and documents pertaining to the wars are stored. Through Khardung La, we’ll reach Nubra Valley and stay in Hunder Village. Then hop on a full-day excursion to Turtuk Village that borders Pakistan before we make our way to Diskit Monastery which was built in the 14th century before making our way up to Pangong Tso. Then we transfer back to Leh and stop at Hemis Gompa that was built during King Singge Namgya’s reign in 1672, Thiksey Monastery that’s hugely popular for the incredible architecture, and the Shey Palace, the summer palace of King Deldan Namgyal. We end the day with a visit to the 3 Idiots Rancho School from Aamir Khan’s movie before heading back home after having a blast in Leh.

After breakfast, check-out from the hotel and we drive to the 'valley of flowers' Nubra Valley (120 kms/4-5 hrs).

Full Day Excursion to Turtuk
After breakfast today, really important day and also a highly anticipated one visiting Turtuk Village, the last border village open to visitors before the Pakistan border. It must be one of the most under-rated locations in Ladakh. Turtuk was captured by Indian army in the year 1971 war from Pakistan. This village has a similar culture and language to Ladakhi.
. You will be stunned to notice the colour on various mountains. It just kept changing as you go along. Some mountains had multiple shades of brown, while some had a greenish tinge on the rocks. The winding roads, the green Shayok River and the colourful mountains will make your journey from Hunder to Turtuk one of the best of our trip. The scenery is especially amazing near Changmar village.
Overnight stay at Hunder Sarai Resort

After an early breakfast, we check-out from camp/hotel and drive towards Hunder where you have opportunity to ride on a Bacterian Camel (double humped) (on direct payment basis by the customer) amidst the sand dunes of this high altitude desert with snowcapped mountains on the horizon. Between Hunder and Diskit you come across sand dunes besides the road. Seen in isolation you could well be amongst the sand dunes of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. It is indeed a strange sight since immediately on the left of the road is Rocky Mountains that characterize the Ladakhi landscape and in the distance can be seen snow-capped mountains.
On the return, stop at Diskit which is the headquarter town of Nubra Valley. Stroll around the bazaar observing the shops and local people going about their daily chores. Diskit is famous for 515 years old Buddhist Monastery, lying magnificently situated on a hilltop, facing the entire Valley.
Diskit monastery also known as Diskit Gompa is situated in the Nubra v

After a morning of leisure and relaxation exploring the beauty of Pangong Lake, hit the road to Leh. Tibetan for 'high grassland lake' Pangong Tso is one of the largest brackish lakes in Asia. You may recognize its timeless beauty from its feature in Bollywood film 3 IDIOTS (2009). This disputed territory and saline water lake is in the process of being identified as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. At the first glimpse of the azure, tranquil waters and shaky lakeshore, it is hard to imagine that the lake sprawls over an such an expansive area.
Hemis Gompa: Hemis Monastery, 40 kms towards the south-east of the main city of Leh is the largest as well as the most well-known monastery (Gompa) in Ladakh. This monastery was built by under the reigns of the King Singge Namgyal, in 1672 AD.
