Leh Royal Palace
1h
Admission ticket included
Built in the 17th century by King Sengge Namgyal, Leh Palace dominates the skyline with its nine-storey mud-brick façade. Its design resembles Tibet’s Potala Palace, with narrow corridors, ancient murals, and breathtaking rooftop views of Leh Town and Stok Kangri Peak. Inside, travelers can sense the echoes of Ladakh’s royal past, seeing artifacts, thangka paintings, and time-worn prayer rooms that speak of centuries of Buddhist devotion.
Shanti Stupa
40m
Admission ticket included
Constructed by Japanese monks to symbolize world peace, Shanti Stupa stands atop a hill in Chanspa, offering 360-degree views of Leh and the Indus Valley. The gleaming white dome contrasts dramatically with the barren brown mountains. Visitors climb its steps to reach tranquil balconies decorated with reliefs depicting Buddha’s life. At sunset, the stupa glows golden as the city lights flicker below—a photographer’s dream and a spiritual refuge in one.
Hall of Fame
1h
Admission ticket included
Managed by the Indian Army, the Hall of Fame commemorates the bravery of soldiers who fought in the Kargil War and other Himalayan operations. Exhibits include war memorabilia, captured weapons, photographs, and letters from soldiers. A section on Ladakhi culture provides local context, while the rooftop offers panoramic views of the Leh Airport and surrounding ranges. A moving and patriotic stop.
Magnetic Hill
20m
Located on the Leh–Kargil Highway, Magnetic Hill creates the illusion that vehicles roll uphill against gravity. In reality, the optical illusion results from the unique alignment of the surrounding slopes. Travelers can park their vehicle, release the brake, and watch it appear to drift “uphill.” Beyond the science, the spot is surrounded by spectacular mountain views—perfect for photos and a fun, quirky experience.
Confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers
30m
At Nimmu Village, the green-blue Indus River merges with the muddy brown Zanskar River, creating a stunning contrast of colors. The meeting point, known as “Sangam,” is also the starting base for Zanskar River Rafting. The surrounding cliffs form a natural amphitheater where two mighty rivers unite—symbolizing the harmony of nature in Ladakh’s harsh terrain.
Day 3: An exhilarating drive over Khardung La Pass brings you into Nubra Valley, a place where desert and glaciers meet.
2 stops
Meals: breakfast, snacks
Accommodation: Fossils Premier, Hunder
Khardung La
20m
At 18,380 ft, Khardung La is a Himalayan icon. The winding ascent from Leh offers stunning panoramas of snow peaks and rugged valleys. At the summit, fluttering prayer flags, crisp air, and steaming tea stalls greet travelers. Historically part of the ancient Silk Route, the pass remains a symbol of adventure and endurance—standing here feels like being on top of the world.
Hunder Sand Dunes
2h
Admission ticket included
The Hunder Sand Dunes present one of Ladakh’s most surreal landscapes — golden waves of sand set against towering, snow-tipped mountains. Here you’ll enjoy a camel ride on the rare double-humped Bactrian camels, once used by traders on the Silk Route. The ride, included in your tour package, provides a unique opportunity to experience how merchants once traveled these high-altitude deserts. As the sun dips low, the dunes glow amber and pink, creating perfect conditions for photography. Evening campfires, crisp air, and starlit skies make Hunder an experience of timeless serenity and adventure combined.
Day 4: Explore Turtuk, India’s last northern village, rich in Balti culture, then unwind at Panamik’s healing hot springs.
2 stops
Meals: breakfast, snacks
Accommodation: Fossils Premier, Hunder
Turtuk

Perched close to the Pakistan border, Turtuk was once part of Baltistan. The village charms with apricot orchards, wooden homes, and warm hospitality. Visitors stroll through narrow lanes, tasting local produce and learning about Balti culture, which blends Central Asian and Ladakhi traditions. Its isolation and cultural richness make Turtuk one of the most fascinating settlements in Ladakh.
Panamik Hot Spring
1h
Nestled north of Sumur Village, these natural geothermal springs are renowned for their sulfur-rich, therapeutic waters. Travelers can soak in steaming pools surrounded by snow peaks—a surreal contrast of hot and cold. Locals believe the mineral water relieves joint pain and skin ailments. The drive itself offers scenic mountain and river views.

Dominating the Nubra Valley, Diskit Monastery houses the famous 100-ft Maitreya Buddha statue gazing toward Pakistan. The monastery’s interiors display ancient murals and sacred texts. The vantage point from the courtyard provides sweeping views of desert, river, and mountains—embodying the spiritual heart of Nubra.
Shyok River
This adventurous road traces the turquoise Shyok River through deep gorges and small hamlets. Constantly changing scenery—ranging from rocky cliffs to open meadows—keeps travelers spellbound. It’s an off-beat, less-traveled path connecting Nubra to Pangong, combining thrill and beauty in equal measure.
Pangong Tso
2h
At 14,500 ft, Pangong Tso is a vast high-altitude lake extending into Tibet. Its waters shift from azure to green to indigo under the shifting light. Set against barren mountains and open skies, it feels otherworldly. Camps along the shore let visitors witness sunrise and sunset reflections—moments of pure tranquility at the roof of the world.
Day 6: Drive back through dramatic mountain passes, visiting monasteries that showcase Ladakh’s deep spiritual roots.
3 stops

The “Pass of the South,” Chang La (17,350 ft) offers sweeping views of glacier-fed valleys. The icy winds and fluttering prayer flags create an almost mystical atmosphere. A small tea point invites visitors to enjoy a warm drink while taking in the vast Himalayan panorama.
Thiksey Monastery
1h
Admission ticket included
Perched atop a hill, Thiksey Monastery resembles Lhasa’s Potala Palace. The 15-metre Maitreya Buddha statue dominates the main prayer hall, surrounded by vibrant frescoes and ancient scriptures. The chanting of monks and smell of butter lamps create an ethereal experience. Thiksey is a masterpiece of Tibetan architecture and spirituality.
Shey Palace
