Begin your day with a sumptuous breakfast. A drive of 50 Kms will take us to the chaotic yet beautiful confluence of the Indus and the Zanskar river. A sight to behold as these epic river's merge with each other at this point, their tide wearing each other's colour and becoming one . After witnessing this beautiful meet, a magic trick awaits. Just like Houdini or David Blaine , watch this magnetic hill pull off an optical illusion which defies the law of gravity. It has to be seen to be believed.

A pit stop at the Gurudwara Patthar Sahib to say your prayers after which we head to the oldest monastery in Leh. Located on the banks of the indus river , the Alchi Monastery, a 11th century monastery, stands at 10,200 ft ASL and houses the oldest paintings in the Leh region. One can feel the aura of the bygone era of the 11th century just by being here .

We will end this eventful day by paying tribute to the soldiers of the Indian Army who laid down their lives while protecting our borders. The memorial also houses some artillery used during the Indo-Pak war

After acclimatising and experiencing a little bit of Leh, we take off for Nubra valley. Here, the rugged mountain terrain with the back drop of snow capped peaks await us. A 6 km trail along the grey sand dunes of Hundar will bring us face to face with the two humped bactrian camel. Hitching a ride along the unending landscape of Hundar is nothing short of ecstatic.

The drive from leh to Nubra takes us across the almost highest motorable pass in the world. We say almost as it misses being the world highest motorable pass by a a few feet. Currently Khardungla stands at 5359 Mtrs ( 17,582 ft). After indulging in some photography we descend towards Nubra valley perched at 10,000 ft ASL.

After a day of adventure we come back to our cozy nest in Nubra. Hot food is served in the company of snow capped peaks of the high himalayas. Star lit skies never seen before surprise you as you stare across the myriad constellations.

India's last major settlement in the northern-most part is Turtuk. The village of Turtuk has is the last outpost . It is 2.5 KM from the Line of Control between India and Pakistan. Situated on the banks of Shyok river and habituated by the Balti tribes Turtuk is time travel to the bygone world.

Hear the locals speak the unique Balti language which is a mix of the old Tibetan and Persian languages. Take a guided walk into the village of Turtuk and meet its habitants. The village has a few over 300 house holds with a population of 3000 odd people.

After spending a day in the village with the local folks and walking down the ridges to the end of the village we head back to Nubra.

Along the Nubra or Siachen river lie the villages of Sumur, Tirith, Kyagar, Panamik , Turtuk and many more. Today we explore the Sumur village which was a major part of the silk route. Today this village is favourite with hikers and trekkers owing to many natural trails around the village. It is also an important stop for holy souls as it houses the Samstem Ling Gompa which is the most important in the Nubra Valley.

Next on the agenda is Panamik. The village of Panamik is known for its curative natural hot springs which have just the right quantities of sulphur to cure different ailments including rheumatism. Surrounded by snow capped peaks and this green village is a sight you will remember. Panamik is home to Bactrian camels and Pashmina goats ( this is where the world famous Pashmina shawls come from) .

After Panamik we head to Siachen base camp. It depends on the permissions we are able to procure from the India Army. If there is any troop movement we would be stopping at Sasoma which is 30 kms from the base camp. This is the closest one can get to near Siachen glacier.

After an eventful day we head back to the comfort of our nest in the Nubra Valley

After three amazing days , we leave the valley of Nubra and head to the cross border endorheic ( means no outlet) salt lake of Pangong Tso. This lake shot to fame after it was featured in a popular Bollywood movie - which we are not happy about!

The lake is 604 Sq. km and is partly in India and partly in China. The lake is at an altitude of 14,000 ft and one can literally count the pebbles at the bottom of the lake. Walk along the banks of the lake to reach the village of Spangmik. Its a sight to feel as the sun sets and the chill in the air sets in.

After a hearty breakfast , we spend some time at the Lake. Marvel at the transparent water changing colour to different shades of blue as the sun gets higher up in the sky. Before it gets warm we begin our long yet adventurous drive back to Leh.

Enroute we stop by the Hemis and Thiksey monasteries for blessings from the Buddha. Our drive is accompanied by patches of green with brown rugged terrain snow capped peaks and spotless blue skies.

Hot dinner , cozy beds await once we reach Leh. Once we reach Leh take time to make one last stop at the Leh market. Expect heavier bags while going back.

After breakfast , we drop you off to the airport. One should reach the airport at least 2 hours before the flight. Fly out with heavy bags and beautiful memories of the trip. Click a lot of memories and share some with us.

We look forward to hosting you on your next adventure.
