Proceed to Leh after an early meal. En route, stop at Mulbek (famous for its massive Buddha statue) and Lamayuru monastery (The oldest monastery in Ladakh). You will pass through some of Ladakh's most breathtaking villages, all set against a backdrop of multicoloured desert mountains. Today we have to cross two highway passes, Namki-la and Fotula. Stop at the passes to take pictures and get a bird's-eye view of the valley.
Today you can travel to Nubra Valley via the Khardong la pass (5,602 metres) (the world's highest motorable road). You will stop for 15 minutes at the top of the pass to admire and photograph the high peaks of the Karakoram and Zanskar ranges, as well as to see the unison of prayer flags with clouds in front of the magnificent Khardong glacier. Walk very slowly at the top, being at 5602 meters from sea level you may run out of breath. Nubra Valley ,also known as The Valley of flowers, used to be an important station on the Silk Route. Situated at 3000m altitude, it is a mix of mountains, desert and green life. You can see together snow on the peaks of the mountains and camels crossing the sand dunes in a hot sun. We will take you to the famed Diskit monastery on the way to Hunder village. Diskit monastery is the valley's oldest and largest monastery, and it belongs to the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Changsem Shesrab Zangpo founded it in 1525. There is also a massive statue of Maitreya Buddha on a hilltop, in open land, with a bird's eye view of the beautiful Nubra Valley. Going to the hotel, you can relax in a lovely garden. If you want to pretend like you're in a caravan, we'll go on a camel safari across the sand dunes.

After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for Pangong Lake, the world's most stunning lake. The path takes you through picturesque villages, and along the way, you will see one of the most breathtaking views of hamlets. On your way to Pangong Lake, you can even see Yaks, Himalayan marmots, and, if you're lucky, foxes, bears, and Himalayan blue sheep. After 2 hours of driving, you can arrive at Agham village. Continue driving along the Shayok river before you reach Shayok village. Continue driving to the right of Shayok village until you reach Tangtse, where there is a police search and you must show the permit. After 5 to 6 hours of driving, you can arrive at the world-famous Pangong Lake, which is located at 4200m. A deep shallow basin of freshwater drainage, only six to seven kilometres across at its widest point, is just about 7km along the southern shore from the lake's head, but it provides stunning views of the mountains of the Changchenmo range to the north, their reflection shimmering in the ever-changing blues and greens of the lake's brackish water. The Pangong range's glacier and snow-capped peaks rise above Spangmik. Spangmik and a smattering of other tiny settlements along the lake's southern shore are summer residences for a small population of Chang-pa, the nomadic herders of Tibet and south-east Ladakh. In the autumn, the Chang-pas grow sparse crops of barley and peas. During winter, they unfold their tents (Rebo) and carry their flocks of sheep and Pashmina goats to remote pastures. Enjoy the glamorous lake and the mystical shifting colours at the lake's shores while taking several breathtaking photographs. After taking several photographs, we will drive back to Leh through the Changla pass.
After breakfast at the hotel, a car will transport you to the airport. Your trip will come to an end here with many lovely memories and, of course, your camera is now filled with all of those amazing photographs.
