Share your dates and travellers. This enquiry is free. Small changes to a standard itinerary—such as a date change or an extra day—can be discussed with our team.
Our Ladakh family tour package is planned for families with children and for senior travellers, with more rest and shorter days than a standard itinerary. You do not change hotels on the first two nights, and the last full day in Leh is kept light.
Day 1 is a full rest day in Leh, which matters more than anything else for a comfortable trip. On day 2 you visit Sham Valley, the Sangam, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib and Magnetic Hill, which children love. Then you cross Khardung La to Nubra Valley for the camel ride at Hunder, and take the Shyok river road to a night at Pangong Lake.
Back in Leh, the last full day is for Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, the Hall of Fame and the market, at your own pace. A private vehicle with an oxygen cylinder, breakfast and dinner and permits are included, and we can arrange vegetarian and Jain meals.

Package cost depends on travel dates, hotel category, number of travellers sharing the vehicle and availability; prices are confirmed at the time of booking.
Leh is at about 3,500 metres. Rest fully on the day of arrival; altitude sickness can affect anyone, and guests with medical conditions should consult a doctor before travel.
Sightseeing is on a point-to-point basis in locally registered vehicles as per Ladakh taxi union rules; the vehicle is not at disposal.
Stays at Nubra, Pangong, Tso Moriri and Hanle are in camps, cottages, guest houses or small hotels with basic facilities and limited electricity; alternate properties of a similar standard may be used.
Itineraries may change because of weather, roadblocks, landslides, flight delays, permit restrictions or local conditions; any extra cost arising from such changes is payable directly.
Carry original government photo ID for permits and checkpoints. Foreign nationals require a Protected Area Permit arranged through us.
Child policy, hotel check-in and check-out times and meal plans are as per the selected hotels.
Cancellation charges depend on hotel, camp, transport and permit supplier rules at the time of cancellation.
Cancellations close to the travel date, during peak season or for fixed departures may attract higher or 100% cancellation charges.
Permit fees and any non-refundable bookings cannot be refunded once processed.
No refund is given for unused services, nights or sightseeing, or for changes due to weather, roadblocks or flight cancellations.
Refunds, where applicable, are processed after the amount is received back from the hotel or supplier.
Leh is at about 3,500 metres (11,500 feet). Everyone, however fit, needs a slow first day: rest, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and exertion. Read our altitude sickness and packing guide before you travel.
We recommend Ladakh for children above about 5 years. Infants and toddlers cannot tell you if they feel unwell at altitude, so speak to your doctor first. Seniors and anyone with heart, lung or blood-pressure conditions should get medical advice before booking. For Pangong, choose a cottage or hotel rather than a tent for warmer nights.
