Tour Description

The word Ladakh stands for the land of high passes. Ladakh is surrounded by the Karakoram Range on the north and the Himalayas in the south. It is an important district in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The average height of Ladakh above sea level is more than 3000 meters. The mystic charm of Ladakh-Leh is one of the pure sites that has still successfully remained untouched by a heavy mass of the crowd.

DAYWISE TOUR ITINERARY

• Day 1: Arrival in Leh

  On arrival at Leh airport meet our representative who will transfer you to your hotel in Leh. Upon arrival, proceed for check-in at your hotel.
  The remainder of the day will be for rest, to acclimatize. Since you are reaching an altitude of 4000 meters approximately from 200 meters in just one hours time, you may be excited and would want to explore everything on your very first day. However, it is your body that needs to get acclimatized to such height and climate. We sincerely suggest that you rest on the first day for body acclimatization.

• Day 2: Visit Sangam, Gurudwara pathar sahib, Hall of Fame, Magnetic hill

  The Sangam (Confluence): The confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers lies in Ladakh at Nimu. The Indus runs through Ladakh all along by your side serving as a constant companion and you feel a sense of respect for this lifeline of the people of Ladakh, especially since Ladakh experiences rainfall of only 2 to 3 inches throughout the year. Both Indus and Zanskar Rivers merge with each other as if they had flown all along just for that purpose. From this point on, beyond this Confluence of the two, the waters are regarded as the Indus River.
  Magnetic Hill: Can anyone ever imagine the movement of a vehicle up a steep mountain with its engines off? Reach Magnetic Hill to experience this phenomenon which sounds unbelievable.
  Gurudwara Pathhar Sahib: Gurudwara Pathar Sahib is a beautiful Gurudwara constructed in the memory of Guru Nanak, about 25 miles away from Leh, on the Leh-Kargil road, 12000 ft above sea level. The Gurudwara was built in 1517 to commemorate the visit to the Ladakh region of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder Guru of the Sikh faith. On your way back, visit Ladakh Hall of fame. Hall of Fame: Hall of Fame in Leh is a must-visit for every individual in India. This is constructed by the Indian Army. You will find memorabilia, eminent defense personalities’ biographies, images and weapons used during the Kargil war, and belongings of enemy soldiers found at the war site.
