Explore Mahakal Temple and Spituk Gompa, a monastery dating back to the 11th century.

Pay respects at Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, nestled deep in the Himalayas — built in 1517 by the Lamas of Leh to commemorate the visit of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism.

Be amazed by Magnetic Hill, where vehicles appear to defy gravity. Then, marvel at the stunning confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, a breathtaking sight where earth, sky, and spirit converge.

Return to Leh with your heart full and your camera even fuller. In the evening, take a leisurely walk around the charming town and explore its local flavours.

Check in to your camp or resort for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic 4-hour drive through the Shyok River Valley to reach the iconic Pangong Lake — a shimmering sapphire at 14,500 ft. Witness the lake’s magical color changes under the shifting sky and visit the location made famous by the movie “3 Idiots.” Explore local cuisine at one of the lakeside eateries. Spend the night in a lakeside camp under a starlit sky — an unforgettable experience.
