Ladakh 7 Days Tour

After a hearty breakfast in Kargil, begin your journey towards Leh, the heart of Ladakh. Today’s drive is both panoramic and adventurous, as you cross three stunning high-altitude passes on the Srinagar–Leh Highway. Your first highlight is Mulbekh, home to an ancient rock-carved Maitreya Buddha Statue, a fascinating symbol of early Buddhist influence in the region. From here, the road climbs to Fotu La (13,749 ft) — the highest pass on this route — offering breathtaking views of barren mountain ranges and winding valleys. As you descend, the landscape gradually transforms, revealing a mix of dramatic gorges and wide river plains. En route, stop at Nimu, where you’ll witness the spectacular confluence of the Zanskar and Indus Rivers — a sight where two distinct colors of water meet. Your journey continues with visits to Magnetic Hill, where vehicles appear to defy gravity, and Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, a revered Sikh shrine with deep spiritual significance. By evening, you arrive in Leh (3,500 m). Check in to your hotel and unwind after the scenic yet eventful day.

Wake up to the crisp mountain air of Leh and enjoy a wholesome breakfast before beginning your day’s exploration. Your first stop is Sindhu Darshan, located just 7 km from Leh, on the serene banks of the historic Indus River — a site of deep cultural and spiritual importance. Next, head to Shey Palace, the ancient capital of Ladakh, once the royal residence. Continue towards Thiksey Monastery, a majestic hilltop gompa known for its striking resemblance to the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Inside, discover a wealth of Stupas, Statues, Thangkas, wall paintings, and a 15-meter-high Maitreya Buddha statue — one of the largest in Ladakh. Drive further to Hemis Monastery, founded in 1630, the largest monastic institution of the Drukpa Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism. Admire its vibrant wall paintings, sacred Thangkas, and centuries-old relics. In the afternoon, visit the 3 Idiots School (Druk White Lotus School), famously featured in the Bollywood movie 3 Idiots. Later, explore the white-domed Shanti Stupa, offering panoramic views of Leh, before stepping into the royal past at Leh Palace. End the day wandering around Leh Market, perfect for shopping souvenirs and soaking up the local vibe.

The journey from Leh to Nubra Valley unfolds along one of the world’s most iconic roads, crossing the legendary Khardung La Pass (18,390 ft) — famed as the highest motorable pass on the planet. Towering snow-capped peaks and endless mountain vistas accompany you along the winding route. As the descent begins, the stark high-altitude terrain gradually gives way to the greener and warmer landscapes of Nubra Valley, often called the “Valley of Flowers”. Arriving in the region, explore Diskit Monastery, home to the impressive 108 ft Maitreya Buddha Statue, gazing serenely over the valley. Continue to Hunder Sand Dunes, where the sight of double-humped Bactrian camels against a desert backdrop creates a unique Himalayan spectacle. Optional activities such as an ATV ride or camel safari (on direct payment basis) add a thrill to the experience.

The route from Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake unfolds through a blend of remote villages, rugged mountain roads, and dramatic Himalayan landscapes. Following the road towards Khalsar, the trail veers at Agyam Bridge, leading through the quaint settlements of Shyok and Durbuk. Beyond Shyok, the ascent becomes steeper, with panoramic views of barren cliffs and winding river valleys. After passing Durbuk, the road joins the traditional Tangtse route, opening the way to one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Himalayas. At 14,000 ft, Pangong Tso stretches out in surreal shades of blue, with over half of its expanse lying across the border in Chinese territory. Along its shores, enjoy peaceful walks, spot rare Himalayan wildlife, and visit the famous 3 Idiots movie shooting point. Small lakeside eateries offer a taste of local Ladakhi cuisine, perfect for soaking in the scenery. As the sun sets, the lake transforms in color, reflecting hues that shift from deep blue to golden amber — a sight to remember

The journey from Pangong Lake back to Leh offers another chance to experience Ladakh’s pristine landscapes from a different perspective. Departing from the lake’s shimmering shores, the road ascends towards Chang La Pass — standing tall at 17,688 ft, it is one of the highest motorable passes in the world. The pass rewards travelers with panoramic views of snow-draped peaks, fluttering prayer flags, and the raw beauty of the high Himalayas. Along the way, the changing scenery shifts from stark desert-like terrain to green valleys and flowing streams, offering countless opportunities for photography. Small roadside tea stalls near Chang La serve steaming cups of butter tea or regular chai, adding a touch of warmth to the crisp mountain air. Continuing the descent, the route winds through remote villages and open plains before arriving back in Leh.

After soaking in the unmatched beauty and culture of Ladakh, it’s time to bid farewell to this Himalayan wonderland. Transfer to Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh for your onward journey. As your flight soars over the snow-clad peaks and winding valleys, take one last look at the dramatic landscapes that have made this trip unforgettable.
