Start with a patriotic visit to the Hall of Fame (closed on Mondays), a museum by the Indian Army showcasing heroic tales, war memorabilia, and a moving tribute to our brave soldiers.
Next, stop at the revered Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, a sacred shrine built in memory of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Continue to the mysterious Magnetic Hill, where vehicles appear to roll uphill against gravity, followed by a visit to the awe-inspiring Confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers at Nimmu; one emerald green, the other shimmering blue.

Later, embark on a scenic yet adventurous drive to Pangong Lake via the rugged Shyok and Agham Valleys. Though some patches are rough, the ever-changing landscapes and remote villages of Changthang make the journey unforgettable.

Wake up to a serene morning by the stunning Pangong Lake, soaking in its ever-changing hues. After breakfast, begin your drive back to Leh via the high-altitude Changla Pass (5,486 m), one of the world’s highest motorable roads.
En route, explore Ladakh’s spiritual side with visits to iconic monasteries: Hemis Gompa, the largest of the Drukpa lineage; the grand hilltop Thiksey Monastery, home to a two-storey Maitreya Buddha statue; and Shey Palace, the former royal residence and ancient capital of Ladakh.
