This tour starts from DEHLI. You will be transferred to Delhi Airport to catch the domestic flight to LEH, the capital of Ladakh in northern India. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by our Asia Senses representative and transferred to the hotel for check in.

The day is at leisure to assist with acclimatisation. If you feel active, there are plenty of things to explore within easy walking distance of your hotel. A walking tour can be arranged on the day if you want to get out and about.

Overnight in Leh.

Rise early to visit Thiksey Monastery with its statue of the seated Maitreya Buddha and join the morning prayer ceremony at 6:00 AM. Despite the early start, this is a worthwhile experience. Afterwards, head south to the Hemis Monastery, the oldest monastic institution of Ladakh, built in the 13th century in a remote valley. Return to Leh then have lunch.

This afternoon, stop by Leh's labyrinthian streets and quiant bazaars. Leh is very 'Tibetan' in culture, which is visible in the local dress, montasteries, large chortens, prayer flags and mud brick houses with flat roofs. After, return to your hotel for a night of refreshment and relaxation.

OPTIONAL: There is a chance to join a séance session with the Oracle of Saboo (additional costs apply).

Overnight at the hotel in Leh.

Today, drive to Khardung La, one of the highest motor-able roads in the world. It is at an altitude of 5,359 meters and is 39.7 km from Leh. It is a painful 3-hour drive up on a winding road, interrupted by minor landslides and avalanches from Leh to Khardung La.

After that, drive to visit Samstanling Monastery, a popular monastery which showcases the traditional touch with shades of gold, red and white. It was founded 140 years back in 1841 by Lama Tsultim Nima. If time permits, stop to visit some surrounding villages. The night stay today is in KHALSAR.

Overnight at the hotel in Khalsar.

After breakfast in the morning, drive to Diskit Monastery, also known as Deskit Gompa or Diskit Gompa, the oldest and largest monastery in Nubra Valley. The main and unique attraction of this monastery is a gigantic statue of Lord Buddha on the top of it.

The excursion today also includes a Bactrian camel ride in the sand dunes of HUNDER, an oasis amidst the cold desert. It will feel positively tropical down at 3,000m and a complete contrast to yesterday's glaciers. Then proceed to our first camp. Check in your accommodation then spend the rest of the day at leisure.

Overnight in Hunder.

After breakfast, begin our trekking through an incredible valley to shepherd's huts positioned at Skarchen (3800 meters). The trail follows the river on a wide newly build road and continues along an impressive gorge, passing through the small villages of Dok Gongma, Dok Yokma and Wachan.

If you are not in a hurry to get to your camp at SKARCHEN, spend some time exploring the villages and share a few moments getting to know the locals. Our first day of trekking will last for 4 – 5 hrs. Dinner and relax.

Overnight in camp.

Today, trek to Brok Yogma (4200meters), crossing through the tiny hamlets of Dokyogma, Wacham and Drokyogma where the locals live with their Yaks, cows, goats and sheep. You could see locals who are collecting milk, cheese, butter, wild vegetables and fuel for the winter. Dinner and relax.

Overnight in camp.

Today, trek up to the valley of Hunder and the base of Lasermo La which is set at 4800 meters elevation. The trail passes through large meadows gradually gaining altitude and is very well defined. Yaks and Dzos can be seen grazing around.

On reaching the base camp of the LASERMO LA, get spectacular views of the Karakoram mountains and the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges.

Overnight in camp.
