Ladakh is known for its luminous beauty of the clean lakes and snow-capped mountains which is the primary reason which attracts the travellers from the world. You are surely going to fall in love with this place which is regarded as the moon land for some while mystery land for others. Are you ready to witness the camps in Ladakh along with its rich culture, stupas and monasteries?
Along with a memorable sojourn in the mountains, the camping in Leh Ladakh experience also comes along with guided tours and activities that further enhance your trip.
Reach Leh by morning flight and get transferred to hotel. After freshens up take rest for acclimatization to the high altitude. Later in the afternoon explore LEH MARKET and return to hotel at night for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, drive to SANGAM (Confluence) enroute visit MAGNETIC HILL and GURUDWARA PATTHAR SAHIB. Visit Confluence of Zanskar and Indus River.
THE SANGAM (CONFLUENCE): Confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers lies in Ladakh at Nimu. The Indus runs through Ladakh all along by your side serving as a constant companion and you feel a sense of respect for this lifeline of the people of Ladakh, especially since Ladakh experiences rainfall of only 2 to 3 inches throughout the year.
Both Indus and Zanskar Rivers merge with each other as if they had flown all along just for that purpose. From this point on, beyond this Confluence of the two, the waters are regarded as the Indus River.
MAGNETIC HILL: Can anyone ever imagine the movement of a vehicle up a steep mountain with its engines off? Reach Magnetic Hill to experience this phenomenon which sounds unbelievable
GURUDWARA PATHHAR SAHIB: Gurudwara Pathar Sahib is a beautiful Gurudwara constructed in the memory of Guru Nanak, about 25 miles away from Leh, on the Leh-Kargil road, 12000 ft above sea level. The Gurudwara was built in 1517 to commemorate the visit to the Ladakh region of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder Guru of the Sikh faith.
On your way back, visit SPITUK GOMPA and Ladakh HALL OF FAME.
HALL OF FAME: Hall of Fame in Leh is a must visit for every individual of India. This is constructed by the Indian Army. You will find memorabilia, eminent defence personalities’ biographies, images and weapons used during Kargil war and belongings of enemy soldiers found at war site.
Return to Leh town. Have dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
We make our way across the KHARDUNG LA PASS, situated at 18,380ft, THE WORLD’S HIGHEST MOTORABLE ROAD, to enter the mystic NUBRA VALLEY. Sandwiched between the Karakoram Range to the north and Ladakh range to the south, lie the Shyok and Nubra Rivers. The villages of Nubra are scattered along these two valley-floors. Given the relatively low altitude, a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and grains are grown in this area. Post tea, we leave for the infamous dunes at Hunder, a rare cold desert at such altitude! Ride the unique double-humped Bactrian camels here, one of the two places in the entire world where they can be found! We play some games and relax as we witness another wonderful sunset amongst the vast expanse of the landscape there.
The day ends with an overnight TENT STAY under the magnificent night sky full of stars!
