Itinerary
Leh Excursion To Sham Valley Region
Leh Excursion To Sham Valley Region
Post breakfast, drive downstream along the Indus River of Leh Kargil high. Start sightseeing with the Hall of Fame (remains closed on Mondays), a museum constructed by the Indian Army, which is worth a visit for every Indian. Proceed to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib, located at an altitude of 3600 meters, about 22 km from Leh, constructed in memory of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Nestled deep in the Himalayas, a drive of another 4 km takes you to Magnetic Hill, which defies the laws of gravity. As you move ahead from Magnetic Hill, just before Nimmu Village, you will encounter the famous Confluence of Two Rivers: the Indus River coming from Tibet (left) and the Zanskar River coming from Zanskar Valley (right). The Zanskar River is known for its famous Chadar Trek. Later, drive back to Leh for an evening visit to Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa, and the market. Dinner and overnight stay at a hotel in Leh.

Post breakfast, we drive to Nubra Valley. The road journey from Leh to Nubra Valley passes over Khardung La, the highest motorable road in the world at 5,602 meters (18,390 feet), approximately 39 km from Leh. From the pass, one can see south over the Indus Valley to seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the Saser massif. Nubra Valley is popularly known as Ldumra, or the valley of flowers. It is situated in the north of Ladakh, between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas. The average altitude of the valley is 10,000 feet above sea level. Upon arrival in Nubra, we check in at our camp or hotel. In the evening, we drive to Hunder, where you have the opportunity to ride on a Bactrian camel (double-humped) amidst the sand dunes of this high-altitude desert, with snow-capped mountains on the horizon. Between Hunder and Diskit, you will come across sand dunes beside the road, which may remind you of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. On the return, we stop at Diskit, the headquarters town of Nubra Valley. Stroll around the bazaar, observing the shops and local people going about their daily chores. Diskit is famous for its 515-year-old Buddhist monastery, magnificently situated on a hilltop, facing the entire valley. Later, we drive back to the camp for dinner and overnight stay.
