You can sleep in today, for we have a late start! You have the morning to yourself. Have an unhurried breakfast and enjoy the serene sights in and around the camp. Unwind amidst the willow and poplar trees as you listen to the calming sounds of nature.

If you're game, take a walk through the lush, green fields of Nyerma and get an insight into the age-old wisdom of medicinal herbs, agricultural and religious practices passed on over generations, at the nunnery.

After a delicious lunch at the camp, we set out to the Leh City for a heritage walk. Walk through the complex maze of by-lanes and narrow streets of Leh and uncover the wonders of the city. Stroll through the lanes downtown, where everything from daily necessities and woollen clothing to rugs, handicrafts and accessories can be found.

You can shop a little at the city boulevard which is lined with shops that sell Pashmina shawls, stoles, Tibetan handicrafts and silver jewellery and traditional Ladakhi jewellery studded with turquoise, glass, mother of pearl, emerald and jade.

End the day with a spectacular sunset at the Shanti Stupa.

Today, a journey of spiritual exploration is in the offing. Post breakfast we drive along the Indus river through breathtaking landscapes as we go to the Alchi Monastery.

Built in the 11th century, this monastery appears to have a distinct Kashmiri and Tibetan influence on both its art and architecture. It is believed to have been founded in the 11th century, arguably by Rinchen Zangpo. It boasts of Tibetan and Gandhara style murals that rival even European frescoes. The painting here are good examples of Buddhist art from that period.
We have a delicious picnic lunch amidst the stunning natural beauty before we head back towards the camp.

On the way back from Alchi, we drive past the ruins of the Basgo fort, which has stood witness to important political events in Ladakh. 'Basgo is the local word for 'Cow's head'.

Today calls for a really early start. After a quick cup of coffee or chai to do away with the morning blues, we head to the Thiksey monastery, a kilometre away from the camp. The monastery boasts of a two storey tall statue of the Maitreyi Buddha seated on a lotus. Participate in a Buddhist morning prayer ceremony as the sun comes up and take in the fantastic view of the Leh valley that spreads out down below.

After a relaxed breakfast at camp, we drive to the Hemis monastery and museum, a good 45 minutes away from the camp. Built in 1630, this monastery finds itself in a secluded valley on the Western bank of the Indus river and is the largest in Ladakh. It boasts of an impressive collection of Thangkas (Tibetan murals), Tibetan books, statues and stupas. The monastery belongs to the Drukpa branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Get a glimpse of the many features of this monastery where young lamas are nurtured and educated in philosophy, literature, history, yoga and more.

After an insightful experience, return to the camp for lunch.

The rest of the day is at your leisure.

Bid adieu to the dreamy 'Land of the Lamas' as you head home or onward on your journey after having enjoyed the serene and scenic landscape of the region.
