Begin your day with a hearty breakfast and get ready to kickstart your day with an adventurous Royal Enfield ride to Sham Valley. Sham Valley is located on the Srinagar-Leh Highway and the drive is exquisitely beautiful. The first stop for the day is the world-famous Hall of Fame, which is actually a memorial for the Indo-Pak war and the martyrs of the war. You will get to acquaint yourself with the arms and ammunition used in the war and also get a chance to admire our heroes at Siachen who battle severe weather conditions so that we can have a good night’s sleep at home.
Next, we will head to Kali Mata Mandir and Spituk Gompa which hold a rich cultural significance in the tourism of Ladakh. Both the temple and the Gompa are 11th-century structures and you can see the architectural styles of that period. The next stop is Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, a peaceful place built by the Lamas to honor Guru Nanak Sahib, founder of the Sikh faith, who visited the place in 1517. The Gurudwara is 25 km away from Leh and lies on the Kargil Road.
Next, we will visit Magnetic Hill where you will see an unusual phenomenon of vehicles sliding upwards even in neutral. While this is a very interesting thing to observe, Magnetic Hill is actually an optical illusion where the downhill road appears to be uphill.
The next stop unfolds a very beautiful sight in front of you, the confluence of Indus and Zanskar Rivers, which also happens to be the world’s highest rafting point. You can distinctly spot the two rivers merging into one. The Indus River has a greenish hue while the Zanskar River is a fluorescent blue. If you haven’t experienced white water rafting ever, this is your chance. Pull up your socks and get ready for a thrilling experience. The rafting starts from Chilling and ends at Nimmo and takes about 3 to 4 hours to cover a distance of 30 km among 3rd and 4th-grade rapids. TTH ensures that you raft under the guidance of expert professionals. Post rafting we will take a break for lunch and head back to Leh on a bike ride.
In the evening, we will visit Leh palace, located on Tsemo Hill and it has a rich history. The Palace was built by Sengge Namgyal and was later abandoned in the 19th century. The Palace showcases a rich collection of jewelry, ornaments, and ceremonial crowns. Just behind the Palace lies the Tse-mo-Gompa. The monastery offers stunning views of Leh City below and the rugged surroundings around. The monastery was founded by King Tashi Namgyal in 1430.
To end the day on a peaceful note, we will visit the Shanti Stupa. The white-domed Buddhist monument was built in 1991 by the Japanese-Buddhists and was constructed to promote peace and harmony as well as to commemorate the Buddhist culture. Apart from religious significance, the monastery also offers impressive views of the surroundings. Here we will call it a day and head back to our Leh hotel.
Since Day 2 was a long expedition, today we will go a little easy. The itinerary for the day involves a short trek that will make all the trekking junkies quite happy and for the non-trekkers a chance to relax as well. Get ready to enjoy a day trek to the lovely village of Saboo. A short one-day trek from Leh takes you to Saboo village. Saboo is a serene village about 4 km from Leh and overlooks the beautiful Indus River. The village is quite close to Leh but far enough to offer some solitude. Saboo village is being developed under the prime minister’s reconstruction program for Jammu & Kashmir. It is a model village for the entire district.
Depending on the weather conditions, we will start the trek either before or after lunch. The trek starts from the main bazaar and wades through the famous polo grounds. The first part of the trek is an uphill climb followed by two small mountains. Crossing these mountains you arrive close to the village. From here you can see the splendor of the Stok Kangri and the enchanting beauty of the Indus Valley. It talkies approximately 4 hrs to complete the trek. For the non-trekkers, we provide SUVs if they do not want to walk. We will camp in this village today and sleep in tents at night. The meals will be served at the campsite.

For non-cyclists SUV will be provided. The cycling tour is planned by Trek The Himalayas’s outdoor experts to give you an amazing cycling experience. The cycling stretch is 30 km long and runs along with the scenic landscapes of Leh. Sometimes the road conditions might make cycling a little challenging but it also makes it exhilarating. Our first stop is Sindhu Ghat, a riverbank of Sindhu River, near the Shey village. It is a scenic location renowned for its beautiful landscapes of barren mountains and rocky terrains with sparse greenery.
15 km from Leh, Shey Village used to be the summer capital of Ladakh. It is home to Shey monastery and Shey Palace. The palace was built in 1655 under the instructions of Deldan Namgyal, the King of Ladakh, in memory of his father. The palace complex offers dramatic panoramas of the Leh landscapes. The Shey monastery in the village is now mostly in ruins but one of the most notable features of the monastery is the 39 ft Shakyamuni Buddha statue, estimated to be the second-largest Buddha Statue in Jammu & Kashmir.
To give this trip a ‘filmy’ angle and reassure everyone that ‘All Izzz Well’ we will visit the 3-Idiots fame school, where the last scene of the movie was shot. Druk Padma Karpo school also popularly known as Rancho’s School is a Buddhist School for children in the Himalayan region. Scenes from the 2009 blockbuster were shot in the school and the iconic 3-idiots wall was featured in the film. Having visited Ladakh, you cannot pass up on the opportunity to visit this school.
We will then drive to Shey Bhumi resort, relaxing in the evening and being entertained with some fun activities. In the evening you can explore the village at your leisure, participate in archery or other camp games. The evening is made even more perfect with a bonfire and barbeque. Now that a beautiful vibe is set, you can make the moments even more special by gazing at the million stars that light up the night sky. A totally surreal experience.
Prepare yourself for an ultimate adventure today. Today we will journey from Leh to the scenic Nubra Valley on a thrilling Jeep Safari. Nubra Valley is located 150 km away from Leh. We will drive through Khardung La, the highest motorable pass in the world with ever-changing barren landscapes. It’s an all-season motorable road that serves as a gateway to Shyok and Nubra Valley. As you descend from the Khardung La, the barren landscapes transition into the beautiful white sand dunes of Nubra Valley. Next, we will drive to Hunder, a place 10 km from Diskit. Let us tell you this place will redefine camel rides and sand dunes for you. The rolling sand dunes are simply out of the world and there’s a river flowing by that adds to the serenity of the place. Enjoy an ATV ride and a double-humped camel ride, this type of camel is exclusively found in Ladakh. The two humps in the camel are developed to help them develop resistance to the cold weather. Later enjoy an overnight stay at the campsite in Nubra Valley under a sky full of stars.
Continuing our adventure on Day 6, we will head to the mesmerizing Pangong Tso Lake. After a hearty breakfast, we will leave Nubra Valley and head towards Pangong Lake on the Indo-China Border. Located at an altitude of 4350 m, this is one of the largest high-altitude saltwater lakes in the world. One-third of Pangong Tso lies in India while the rest of it lies in China. The Pangong Lake has been featured in Bollywood movies like Jab Tak Hai Jaan and 3-idiots and is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. The pristine water of the lake changes its hues at different times of the day, transitioning from blue to green to red. Spend the day exploring the surroundings of the lake with the view of Shyok River on one side and the mountains on the other.
En route, visit one of the largest and the oldest monasteries in Ladakh, the Diskit monastery. There’s a 125 feet open-air idol of Maitreya Buddha near the monastery. The monastery offers a spectacular view of Diskit Village and is a wonderful expression of the rich cultural values of the region. We will spend the evening at our leisure and stay overnight in camps relaxing and recuperating after the day’s adventure.
You cannot just miss the sunrise at Pangong Lake and that’s how we will start Day 7. Capture the scintillating lake under the sun\'s rays and get ready for a thrilling day. On our way back to Leh, we will drive to Chang La Pass, the third highest motorable road in the world. It is situated at an altitude of 5360 meters and is named after a saint called Changla Baba. The pass is maintained by the Indian army. The drive covers a distance of 150 km in 5 to 6 hrs.

If by a rare consequence TTH calls off/cancels a trek:
At TTH, we almost never call off or cancel our treks. But in the rare event that we do call off or cancel a trek due to any unforeseen circumstances or natural catastrophes like continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that prevents us from carrying out a trek in a safe manner, unforeseeable circumstances like local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any such situations that prevents a safe trekking experience, TTH will issue a voucher summing up to the same amount as your trek fee. The voucher can be redeemed on any of the treks over a period of the next year.
Note
In the rare event that TTH shifts a trek:
As we mention always, weather conditions at high altitudes are extremely unpredictable and can change at any time of any day. Also, situations like natural calamities or political unrest, pandemics and lockdowns, etc are out of our control and if an event cannot run under any such circumstances that we do not directly have control over then we will try to give you an alternative trek, which means your trek will be shifted from one trek to another, which will be safer and more favourable.
In these cases, a voucher is issued to mitigate the difference in cost between the two treks. You can redeem the voucher at any time over a period of one year from the date of issue. A refund fee or refund of the difference is not applicable.
