Itinerary Detail
After your early morning flight has brought you to the beautiful city of Leh, our representatives will escort you out of the Kushok Bakula Rinpoche (KBR) Airport transfer to your hotel. Once you have checked into your room you have the remainder of the day at your own leisure. We recommend you use this time to get acclimatized to the high altitude and low air pressure in Ladakh. Evening can be utilized for a short walk to local markets. Return back to your rooms for overnight stay.
After a delicious, early breakfast, proceed to a full day Indus Valley tour, which includes visits to the Shey Palace and Thiksey, Hemis and Stok Monasteries – the most beautiful Buddhist Monasteries of great historical significance in Ladakh. Box lunch is provided to all guests. Evening can be a good time to hit the local markets and try some local cuisine. Stay overnight at the hotel.
On the 3rd day of the tour, you will kickstart with a 48 km morning drive to Khardungla Pass which, at 5600 meters, is supposedly the world’s highest motorable pass. You are then driven back to the hotel for lunch and a short afternoon nap. Around 2:00 pm, drive towards the way of Magnetic hill, a confluence of Zanskar River and Indus River. Magnetic Hill is a place that defies gravity and the vehicle started to roll uphill. En route Leh, you will visit Shanti Stupa, a beautiful spot to enjoy a typical Ladakh evening offering a panoramic view of the Leh town. Later, visit the 16th-century Lehchen Palkhar or Leh Palace. Evenings are again kept free at your leisure.
