Ladakh · 5 Nights / 6 Days
Leh's monasteries and palace, then the Nubra Valley across Khardung La, with proper acclimatisation built in at the start.
A compact Ladakh itinerary that keeps acclimatisation first: two quiet days in Leh before going higher. The Nubra Valley adds desert dunes, monasteries and a change of landscape.
Permits are required for Nubra and other areas, and routes can close for weather or road conditions (check current rules). Pangong Tso is not included here; see the seven-night route if you want to add it.

Leh sits at about 3,500 metres. Arriving by air gives the body very little time to adjust, which is why the first days of a Ladakh itinerary matter more than any sight.
