Ladakh · 8 Nights / 9 Days
A fuller Ladakh route adding Tso Moriri, with returns to Leh between high stays to ease the altitude.
This itinerary takes the core Ladakh circuit and adds Tso Moriri, a remote lake at around 4,500 metres. It deliberately returns to Leh between the highest stays, so you are not climbing continuously.
It is a demanding journey with long driving days, best for fit, well-acclimatised travellers who enjoy remote landscapes. Seasonal roads mean it is planned for roughly June to mid-September.

Fly to Leh and rest. Keep the day gentle.
Slow day with Leh Palace, the old town and Shanti Stupa. No high passes.
Cross Khardung La (brief stop) to Nubra Valley, around five to six hours. Evening at the Hunder dunes. Overnight in Nubra at around 3,100 metres.
Drive by the Shyok route to Pangong, subject to permits and road conditions. If unavailable, we adjust the sequence. Long day.
Morning by the lake, then return over Chang La to Leh. A lower night to recover.
Visit Thiksey, Shey and Hemis, or take the Sham Valley route to Alchi and Likir, depending on how you feel.
A long drive (around seven to eight hours) via the Indus Valley and Tso Kar region to Tso Moriri. Stay at the lakeside village of Korzok at around 4,500 metres. Altitude requires a very early night.
Morning by the lake and the Korzok monastery, then drive back to Leh. A long day. If you feel unwell at any point, we descend.
Transfer to Leh airport.
Leh is around 3,500 metres. The first two nights are light on purpose. Brief stops at Khardung La and Chang La (around 5,300 metres) are kept short. Speak to your doctor beforehand.
Leh town needs none. Nubra and Pangong need permits, which we arrange. Rules and fees change, so check current requirements.
Suited to roughly June to mid-September. Road and pass conditions can change at short notice.
Mountain roads can be affected by landslides or weather. Drive times are long, and we keep days flexible.
We build in the option to skip Tso Moriri if you or the roads are not ready.
This is a sample itinerary, not a fixed departure. Sequence, stays and activities are confirmed when we plan your journey, subject to availability, season, permits and local conditions.

Ladakh is a cold desert at altitude, and what you can see changes sharply with the month. Here is how to match the season to the journey you want.

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.

Ladakh can be a rewarding family destination, but altitude, cold and long drives call for a gentler plan than a typical hill-station holiday.
