Glimpse of Ladakh (Mini Tibet)

A fascinating trip to one of India’s most enigmatic and isolated areas, Glimpse of Ladakh is known as “Mini Tibet” because of its remarkable resemblance to the Tibetan plateau. Tucked away between the Zanskar Range and the Great Himalayas, Ladakh is well known for its breathtaking scenery, historic monasteries, and distinct cultural legacy. The centuries-old gompas of Nubra Valley, the hot Sulphur springs, the high-altitude sand dunes, the double-humped Bactrian camels, and the unusual combination of mountains, rivers, and deserts are its main draws. Together, the valley and the Karakoram mountain range produce lush fields and an amazing desert environment. Visit to Pangong Lake is the highest saltwater lake in the world, rising to a height of over 4,350 meters. Its water, which appears to be blue-tinted, contrasts sharply with the surrounding dry mountains. This trip offers an immersive experience into Ladakh’s natural beauty and its rich Tibetan-influenced culture. Trip to Ladakh offers an unforgettable journey that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and high-altitude adventure.

Since you are reaching an altitude of 3500 meters approximately from 200 meters in just one hours of time, you may be excited and would want to explore everything on your very first day. However, it is your body which needs to get acclimatized to such height and climate. We sincerely suggest that you rest on the first day for body acclimatization. Evening visit Leh Palace, Shanti Stupa & Local Market. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

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.
