Leh, Nubra & Pangong
The essential Ladakh circuit, paced so the altitude does not decide how your trip goes. Rest day first. Passes later.

Ladakh · Tour Packages
Cold desert at 3,500 metres. Monasteries older than most countries. Passes that steal your breath in both senses. Ladakh is a bucket-list trip — and altitude is the thing that ruins most of them.
Best time
May–Sep (Jun–Aug peak)
Ideal length
6 to 9 nights
Starts from
₹32,500 per person
Altitude
3,500 m (Leh) to 5,600 m (Khardung La)
The honest version
Ladakh punishes bad planning more than any destination in India. Guests fly into Leh at 3,500 m, get driven straight to Khardung La at 5,600 m the next morning, and spend the rest of the trip in a hotel room with a headache and an oxygen cylinder.
We schedule the first full day in Leh as a rest day. No exceptions, no negotiation. Monastery visits within the valley, an easy afternoon, early night. High passes start day three. It costs you one day of itinerary and saves the entire trip.
Beyond acclimatisation, Ladakh rewards slowness. Pangong deserves an overnight, not a photo stop. Nubra is worth two nights if you can spare them. And Turtuk — India's last village before Pakistan, Balti-speaking, apricot-growing — is the part guests talk about years later.
Where you'll go
Acclimatisation base, old town, monasteries, night market
Khardung La, cold-desert dunes, double-humped camels
The lake from 3 Idiots. Overnight camps on the shore.
Higher, quieter and more spiritual than Pangong
India's last village before Pakistan — Balti culture, apricots
Sham valley, Lamayuru moonland, the Indus–Zanskar sangam

Frequently asked
Something not covered here? Ask us directly — we answer within a few hours.
Fly into Leh and rest completely for the first 24 hours — no sightseeing, no exertion, lots of water. Our itineraries schedule high passes from day three onward. Every vehicle carries oxygen and we take oximeter readings morning and evening.
Fly if this is your first Himalayan trip — the road journeys gain altitude fast and significantly raise AMS risk. The Manali–Leh and Srinagar–Leh highways are spectacular but add two days each way and are best for guests who have been at altitude before.
Yes. We handle permits for Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri and Turtuk as part of every Ladakh package. You provide ID copies; we do the filing.
Yes, with care. We generally advise against Ladakh for children under five and for anyone with cardiac or severe respiratory conditions. For older children we build a gentler profile with extra rest days.
June to early September has the most reliable road access and the mildest weather. May is beautiful and quieter but some high passes may still be clearing. Mid-September brings golden light and thinner crowds.
