Intro to Ladakh is our shortest Ladakh package, for travellers with only a long weekend or who want a first taste of Ladakh without changing hotels. You stay three nights in Leh and see the town, the Indus valley and Pangong Lake on day trips.
After a rest on arrival, you visit Leh Market, Leh Palace and Shanti Stupa in the evening. Day 2 is an excursion to Sham Valley: Likir and Alchi monasteries, the Sangam of the Indus and Zanskar, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill and the Hall of Fame. Day 3 is the highlight, a full day to Pangong Lake over Chang La and back.
Breakfast and dinner, airport transfers, a private vehicle with oxygen for the Pangong day and permits are included. The Pangong day trip is long (about 10 to 11 hours), so if you have two more days, our 5-night Leh Ladakh package adds Nubra Valley and a night at the lake.

Duration
3 Nights / 4 Days
When I flew to Leh from Delhi, I couldn't even climb the hotel stairs on the first day, and breathing was never fully easy. Everything still went well, and Pangong, Nubra and Khardung La were unforgettable. If you fly in, rest the whole first day.

Upon arrival at Leh airport, our representative will warmly welcome you. You will be transferred to your pre-booked accommodation. Check in at the hotel and take some time to rest, allowing your body to acclimatize to the high altitude. In the evening, explore Leh Market, Leh Palace, and Shanti Stupa.
Overnight stay in Leh.
After breakfast, embark on an excursion to Sham Valley. Visit attractions such as Likir, Alchi Monastery, Sangam (the confluence of Zanskar & Indus Rivers), Magnetic Hill, Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, and the Hall of Fame museum.
Return to Leh for an overnight stay.
Start your day with an early breakfast and head to Pangong Lake (14,500 ft) via Changla Pass (17,350 ft), one of the
highest motorable roads in Ladakh. Marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the high-altitude lake, surrounded by rugged grey and brown mountains. Witness the clean and dust-washed landscape, count the waves on the shores of the color-changing lake, and be captivated by the varying shades of blue, from azure to navy blue. Later, return to Leh using the same route for an overnight stay.
In the early morning, transfer to Leh airport for your flight back to your destination. Your memorable journey comes
