the popular Sham Valley which is west of Leh. Your first stop will be at
the Sangam intersection - which is the meeting point of the Zangskar and

lucky enough to see some of the water rafting tourists enjoying a paddle
down either one of the rivers. Next, follow the highway towards Srinagar

say looks like it's straight out of a fairytale! Following your return
to Leh, you will have free time to rest, or peruse the market. Leh based
accommodation for dinner and overnight stay.
Leh - Disket - Hunder - Sumoor
Depart Leh after breakfast and head towards ‘Nubra Valley’ - popularly
known as the ‘valley of flowers’ because of the variety of wildflowers
and medicinal plants grown all over the local area. Situated in the
northern part of Ladakh (between the Karakoram and Ladakh Himalayan
ranges), the journey between Leh and Nubra takes you over
‘Khardungla-pass’ which is the world’s highest motor-able road (located
18390 feet above sea level). On arrival in the Valley, you will visit
the Disket monastery where you can see the 100-foot tall Buddha statue
and then those who wish to enjoy an optional camel safari on double
humped camels can climb aboard a double-humped camel in Hunder for a
ride around the cold desert sand dunes. Arrive to Nubra Valley
accommodation in time for dinner and overnight stay.
Morning after breakfast proceeds for a visit to Turtuk, the last major
settlement and the northernmost village in Ladakh, was thrown open to
tourism as recently as 2010. Before that, the scenic Turtuk village was
kept closed by the Indian government to outsiders as well as Indian
tourists. Turtuk was annexed by Pakistan after the British rule ended in
1947 but was reclaimed by India in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war when the
province of Baltistan was divided between the two countries. The
village, on the banks of Shayok River, is only 12 km far from the
Pakistan border.
Turtuk, a predominantly Muslim province, was once an important gateway to
the Silk Route. Turtuk is situated at an altitude of 2,800m which is
significantly lower than other parts of Ladakh. As the conditions are
ideal for growing vegetables and fruits, Turtuk is famous for its
apricots and walnuts. Arrive back to Nubra Valley accommodation in time
for dinner and overnight stay.
Morning early breakfast and proceed Pangong Lake, driving through the
beautiful Shayok River Valley. Arrive Pangong and visit the lake. The
appearance of the water is said to change colour at every angle of the
sun - which makes for some amazing photographs so don’t forget your
camera (and spare batteries) Overnight stay in Pangong.
Drive to Tso Moriri Lake. It is a breath-taking journey on a trail that
is literally a ‘no mans’ land. Vast lonely stretches on the Chanthang
plateau makes this drive one of the best isolated drives of this tour.

at an altitude of 4511m above sea level; with an area of about 140
Sq.km. Spend your evening watching shadows of the surrounding mountain

road across the Polokongka Pass (4920 mtrs) to visit Tsokar Lake, a salt
lake system in the Rupsho plateau which is home of the Changa nomads and
