Itinerary
Day 1: Chamba Camp Thiksey, Ladakh
Upon arrival at Kushok Bakula Airport in Leh, perched high at 3,500 metres above sea level, the vast Himalayan landscape unfolds around you. You will be transferred to your hotel, where the day is intentionally unhurried to allow gentle acclimatisation to the altitude. Breathe in the crisp mountain air, rest, and absorb the quiet stillness of Ladakh as you ease into this extraordinary land, before enjoying an overnight stay at your luxurious hotel in Leh.
Day 2:
Chamba Camp Thiksey, Ladakh
Begin your day early with a visit to Thiksey Monastery, where the soft chants of monks and the scent of incense accompany the morning pooja, set against sweeping Himalayan views. Return to your hotel for a hearty breakfast before setting out to explore the cultural heart of Leh. Visit the historic Spituk Monastery, founded in the 15th century by Lama Lawang Lotus and King Dragspa Bumlde, followed by a stop at the iconic Shanti Stupa, offering panoramic vistas of the valley. Continue on to the ancient Leh Palace, its weathered walls echoing stories of Ladakh’s royal past. As evening falls, enjoy a leisurely walk through the lively local market, before returning to your hotel for a restful overnight stay in Leh.
Day 3: Chamba Camp Diskit, Diskit
Begin your day with a sense of adventure as you journey into Ladakh’s high-altitude desert, where the land feels vast and untamed. After breakfast, set off for Nubra Valley, crossing the legendary Khardung La Pass, one of the world’s highest motorable roads, rising to nearly 18,380 feet. Snow-dusted peaks, wind-carved ridges and endless skies accompany you as you descend into the sweeping expanse of Nubra. By afternoon, arrive in Hunder for a well-earned lunch, followed by time to wander through the villages of Diskit and Hunder, where stark landscapes, quiet monasteries and shifting sand dunes create a surreal and unforgettable setting. Spend the night amid this extraordinary terrain.

Following breakfast, set out to explore the tranquil Insa Monastery, a 250-year-old spiritual retreat nestled near the village of Panamik, where silence and prayer seem to linger in the mountain air. Continue onward to the enchanting Yarab Tso, a hidden sacred lake whose still waters reflect the surrounding peaks in quiet reverence. Later, return to your hotel for a peaceful and comfortable night’s rest, carrying with you the calm of Nubra’s sacred landscapes.

Misty Hills Cabins, Pangong Lake
Set out on a spectacular drive through the Ladakhi countryside, travelling towards Pangong Lake via the dramatic Shayok Valley.

As you arrive at Pangong Lake—one of the world’s highest saltwater lakes, shared between India and China—pause to take in its mesmerising, ever-shifting shades of blue set against a stark, high-altitude landscape.
