After a refreshing breakfast at your hotel in Leh, begin your adventurous journey towards the enchanting Nubra Valley — one of the most scenic regions in Ladakh, known for its stark landscapes, desert dunes, and dramatic mountains. Your drive takes you across the iconic Khardung La Pass, which stands at a staggering altitude of 18,380 feet above sea level. Recognized as the world’s highest motorable road, this pass offers panoramic views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys. As you ascend, the crisp mountain air and awe-inspiring vistas create an unforgettable experience. However, due to the extreme altitude, it is highly recommended to spend no more than 20–25 minutes at the summit to avoid altitude-related issues. Don’t forget to capture a few memorable photos at the famous Khardung La signboard!

Continue descending into the Nubra Valley, where the landscape transforms dramatically into a high-altitude cold desert. By afternoon, you’ll arrive at Hundar Village, known for its sand dunes and the rare Bactrian (double-hump) camels that once played a key role on the ancient Silk Route. In the evening, enjoy an exciting camel ride across the sand dunes between Hundar and Diskit, surrounded by surreal mountain backdrops. This unique experience is unlike any other in India, making it a highlight of any Ladakh Package Tour from Kolkata.

As the sun sets over the valley, settle in for a peaceful night surrounded by nature. Whether you're staying in a traditional guesthouse or a comfortable camp, the tranquil atmosphere and star-studded skies promise a truly magical stay in Nubra Valley. Overnight stay in Nubra Valley.

After a hearty breakfast in the scenic Nubra Valley, your day begins with a visit to one of the region’s most significant spiritual landmarks — Diskit Monastery. Located on a hill overlooking the valley, Diskit Monastery is the largest and oldest monastery in Nubra Valley, dating back to the 14th century. It belongs to the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism and offers a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for meditation and reflection. The monastery is famous for its impressive 32-meter-tall statue of Maitreya Buddha, which faces the Shyok River and symbolizes peace and protection for the valley. From the monastery's courtyard, enjoy panoramic views of the vast Nubra landscape, dotted with small villages, green fields, and winding rivers. After soaking in the serene energy of Diskit, begin your exciting journey towards the mesmerizing Pangong Lake, one of the most iconic highlights of any Ladakh Package Tour from Kolkata. En route, you'll retrace your path over the legendary Khardung La Pass (18,380 ft), once again experiencing the thrill of crossing the world’s highest motorable road. As you drive through winding mountain roads, expect breathtaking views, changing terrains, and occasional encounters with yaks and marmots. Upon arrival at Pangong Lake by the afternoon, prepare to be amazed. Stretching across the India-China border at an altitude of over 13,800 feet, this high-altitude lake is known for its crystal-clear waters that shift colors from blue to green to purple, depending on the time of day and the sunlight. It’s no wonder that Pangong Lake has been featured in several films, including the Bollywood hit "3 Idiots." Spend your evening relaxing by the lake, soaking in its tranquil beauty, and capturing the magical reflections of the surrounding mountains on the water's surface. It’s a perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Overnight stay at a luxury camp by Pangong Lake, under a sky full of stars — a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience during your Ladakh tour package from Kolkata.

Begin your day with an unforgettable experience — witnessing the magical sunrise over Pangong Lake.

Known as the second-highest motorable road in the world, Changla is both thrilling and beautiful, offering snow-clad views and sharp, winding bends that keep you on the edge of your seat — literally and figuratively. As you descend from Changla and continue your drive, your first major stop is at the legendary Hemis Monastery.

Hemis Monastery – A Spiritual Powerhouse : Hemis is not just any monastery — it is one of the largest, richest, and most revered monasteries in Ladakh. Nestled in a quiet valley surrounded by rugged mountains, Hemis Monastery belongs to the Drukpa lineage and dates back to the 11th century.
