Day 1: Fly from Delhi to Ladakh, where the adventure begins at high altitude. After arriving, transfer to the hotel and spend the remainder of the day resting and acclimatising to the altitude. This is an important first day to take things slowly, allowing your body time to adjust before we begin exploring the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh.
Day 2: After breakfast, head out from Leh into the spectacular Sham Valley. Visit the Hall of Fame, a museum and memorial showcasing Ladakh’s military history and culture, before continuing to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib at approximately 3,600 metres above sea level. From there, visit the famous Magnetic Hill before reaching the dramatic confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers, where two great rivers meet against a backdrop of rugged Himalayan landscapes. Return to Leh in the afternoon with time to relax and continue acclimatising to the altitude.
Day 3: Leave Leh behind and journey into the spectacular Nubra Valley, crossing the legendary Khardung La at approximately 5,602 metres (18,390 ft) above sea level. One of the highest motorable mountain passes in the world, the route offers breathtaking views across the rugged Himalayan landscape. Continue into Nubra Valley and visit the impressive Diskit Monastery before heading to Hunder, where sweeping sand dunes sit dramatically between towering mountains. Here, enjoy a unique experience riding Bactrian camels through the high-altitude desert before settling into the valley for the evening.
Day 4: Set out early after breakfast for the spectacular journey from Nubra Valley to Pangong Tso, travelling through the remote Agham and Shyok Valleys. The route winds through dramatic mountain scenery as we pass Durbuk and Tangtse before the landscape suddenly opens up to reveal the brilliant blue waters of Pangong Lake at approximately 4,267 metres (14,000 ft) above sea level. After settling in beside the lake, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and, weather permitting, head out after dark for an evening of astrophotography beneath the clear Himalayan skies.
Day 5: Enjoy a relaxed morning beside the shores of Pangong Lake, with time to photograph the dramatic landscapes and changing light before continuing deeper into the remote landscapes of Ladakh. Drive to Hanle, a small and isolated village renowned for its exceptionally clear, dark skies and considered one of the best locations in the region for astrophotography. After arriving and settling in, prepare for an unforgettable night beneath the stars, with the Milky Way and countless constellations stretching across the Himalayan sky.
Day 6: Rise early for a sunrise photography session in Hanle, capturing the first light as it spills across the remote Himalayan landscape. After breakfast, begin the scenic drive back to Leh, retracing the spectacular mountain roads through the high-altitude desert. Once back in Leh, enjoy a relaxed afternoon and evening to rest, recharge and review your images after several days of exploring the remote corners of Ladakh.
Day 7: Enjoy a final morning in Leh before departing for Delhi on your flight back to the capital. Upon arrival, transfer to Delhi International Airport, where the tour officially comes to an end. You are welcome to book your onward flight home anytime after 15:00 on April 17th, 2028, allowing plenty of time for the journey from Leh and your airport connection.
