Package Overview
This 08-night and 09-day Ladakh odyssey offers a comprehensive immersion into the Trans-Himalayas, meticulously balancing iconic landmarks with the serene isolation of the high-altitude frontier. Starting with an essential acclimatization period in Leh, the journey traverses the world’s highest motorable passes to reach the lush Nubra Valley for two nights, followed by the striking turquoise expanse of Pangong Tso.
