Top Attractions

Pangong Lake

A shimmering high-altitude lake that changes colour through the day — the classic Ladakh postcard.

Nubra Valley via Khardung La

Sand dunes and double-humped Bactrian camel safaris, reached over one of the world's highest motorable passes.

Leh Palace & Shanti Stupa

The old royal palace and a hilltop stupa, both with sweeping views over Leh town.

Magnetic Hill

A curious optical-illusion stop most people add on between Leh and the valleys.

Where to Stay

The main hub — Leh town

Guesthouses to boutique hotels, easiest base for acclimatizing before heading further out.

Desert camping — Nubra Valley

Glamping tents near Hunder, several overlooking Diskit Monastery.

Lakeside — Pangong Tso

Basic-to-luxury tented camps right on the water — cold at night, unforgettable in the morning.

Budget-friendly

Roughly ₹2,000–3,000/night for guesthouses in Leh.

More indulgent

Premium glamping camps in Nubra or Pangong, from around ₹8,000/night.

Note

Altitude means acclimatization days matter — a first Ladakh trip is usually better spread over 5+ days. This is a taste; worth talking through the full plan.
