Your journey, thoughtfully connected
A thoughtful introduction to a striking high-altitude region.
A seven-day circuit with three nights in Leh before crossing to Nubra Valley, followed by Pangong Tso and a final night back in Leh. The first two days remain gentle, with no high-pass excursions. The outline allows more than 48 hours before travel to higher areas; suitability, permits and road access are checked individually. Extra acclimatisation nights or a lower-altitude alternative may be needed.
Suggested route

Your suggested itinerary
Day 01
Arrive in Leh — rest day
Meet your local driver at Leh airport and transfer directly to your hotel. Keep the day for rest and adjusting to the altitude, with no sightseeing drive or high-pass excursion scheduled. Discuss your wellbeing with the local team and follow individual medical advice. Your room, meals and transfer arrangements will be specified in the proposal.
Suggested overnight: LehDay 02
Leh — easy local visits, depending on how you feel
Remain in Leh and keep the programme short and flexible. If comfortable, take a gentle visit to Leh Main Bazaar and the old-town area; otherwise continue resting. Avoid packing the day with climbs, monastery stairways or long drives. Khardung La and Pangong are not visited today. The official minimum of 48 hours in Leh before higher-area travel is built into the plan, but it does not guarantee that every traveller will be ready.
Suggested overnight: LehDay 03
Leh — Thiksey, Shey and selected town sights
After the initial acclimatisation period, plan a measured excursion to Thiksey Monastery and the Shey Palace area if you feel well and local advice supports it. Return to Leh for a rest. Leh Palace or Shanti Stupa can be considered later as an alternative visit, with vehicle access and steps discussed beforehand. Select the visits around your comfort rather than treating every landmark as compulsory.
Suggested overnight: LehDay 04
Leh to Nubra Valley — Khardung La, Diskit and Hunder
Leave for Nubra Valley only after the full acclimatisation period and a check of your condition, permits and road access. Allow approximately 5–7 hours including limited stops, with delays possible. Cross Khardung La without a prolonged stay at the pass, then continue to Diskit Monastery and the Hunder dunes if arrival time allows. Check in to your Nubra accommodation. Any camel ride is optional and separately confirmed.
Suggested overnight: Nubra ValleyDay 05
Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso — Shyok route
Travel towards Pangong Tso via the Shyok route only if the road is open and locally cleared, allowing approximately 6–8 hours with breaks. Spend a relaxed period at the accessible lakeshore before checking in to your booked accommodation. This is a high-altitude overnight and is not suitable for every traveller; suitability must be discussed before booking. If health or road conditions require, change the programme rather than force the crossing.
Suggested overnight: Pangong areaDay 06
Pangong Tso to Leh — Chang La
After breakfast, return to Leh via the permitted, open route, normally across Chang La. Allow approximately 6–8 hours and keep the focus on the transfer. Take short scenic stops where appropriate, then rest at your Leh hotel. Additional monastery sightseeing is not promised on this travel day. The final night in Leh provides separation between the remote circuit and your departure flight.
Suggested overnight: LehDay 07
Depart Leh
Transfer to Leh airport for your confirmed flight. No distant sightseeing is scheduled before departure. Mountain weather can affect flights and roads, so avoid a tight, separately ticketed onward connection; discuss a buffer night in your next city when planning. An extra night may also be needed if the route changes.
