Ladakh — Just The Two Of You

Arrive in Leh, rest and hydrate. If energy allows, walk gently to Shanti Stupa and the market in the evening.

Walk up to Namgyal Tsemo for wide Indus Valley views, descend to Leh Palace and continue to Thiksey and Hemis monasteries.

See the Indus–Zanskar confluence, Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill and the thousand-year-old murals at Alchi.

Cross the pass into Nubra and reach Hunder for a Bactrian camel experience in the last light of day.

Walk slowly through Turtuk’s apricot orchards, stone bridges and distinct Balti culture before returning to Nubra.

Take the quieter river road to Pangong and arrive as the lake begins shifting colour in the afternoon light.

Watch sunrise at the lake, then cross the remote Changthang plateau toward Hanle, keeping an eye out for wild kiang.

Visit Hanle Monastery, walk the high grasslands and step outside after dinner for the Milky Way above India’s Dark Sky Reserve.

An early, challenging drive to Umling La, subject to conditions, followed by the long return through the Indus Valley to Leh.

A slow morning, time for the market and cafés, and a private farewell dinner together.

Morning at leisure and an airport drop according to your flight time.
