Leh Ladakh, the “Land of High Passes,” is a place that captures your heart and fills your soul with peace. The name comes from the many beautiful mountain passes that stretch through the region. With some of the world’s highest motorable roads, like Khardung La and Chang La, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world.

Nestled between the Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, Ladakh is a place where nature’s beauty meets inner calm. The towering mountains, peaceful valleys, and crystal-clear rivers make it a dream for nature lovers. 

The ancient monasteries, like Hemis and Diskit, offer a sense of peace and quiet, where time seems to slow down.

Pangong Tso Lake, with its changing blue colours, is a sight you’ll never forget. The adventure of crossing high mountain passes is an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Ladakh is also famous for being the backdrop of the movie 3 Idiots

What makes Leh Ladakh so special is how it touches your heart—not just with its beauty, but with the peace and energy it gives you, leaving you with memories that last forever.

Your journey starts at the Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh. After settling in and getting used to the high altitude, you’ll visit the famous Druk Padma Karpo School, known as Rancho’s School from 3 Idiots

Then, you’ll go to the peaceful Shanti Stupa for beautiful views of the area. After that, you can explore the historic Leh Palace. In the evening, enjoy a relaxing walk through the busy Leh Market, taking in the lively local culture.

On day two, drive to Nubra Valley, taking the amazing route through Khardung La Pass, one of the highest motorable roads in the world. Stop at Diskit Monastery to see the huge statue of Maitreya Buddha, which is both peaceful and impressive. 

Then, visit the unique Hunder Sand Dunes, where you can enjoy a fun camel ride through the desert-like landscape, with the mountains in the background.

The next day, you’ll head to the beautiful Pangong Lake, famous for its changing colours and calm beauty. You’ll also visit the 3 Idiots shooting spot, perfect for film lovers, and take some memorable photos. 

Afterward, you’ll drive back to Leh, passing through Chang La Pass. You can then enjoy a relaxing evening in Leh, taking in the peaceful surroundings.

On the final day, you’ll visit Magnetic Hill, where it feels like gravity is reversed. Then, you’ll see where the Indus and Zanskar Rivers meet. After that, stop at the peaceful Gurudwara Pathar Sahib and the Hall of Fame Museum, which honours the Indian army. 

Finally, head to Leh Airport for your departure, carrying unforgettable memories of your trip.
