DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 1 – Acclimatization in Leh
Once we are done with orientation and briefing, we go on an acclimatization walk across the town to Shanti Stupa and Leh Palace. The rest of the day is for relaxation and some shopping.
Day 2 – Leh to Nubra Valley
Today’s drive starts with us conquering the mighty Khardung La (the World's Highest Motorable Road at a height of 18,380 ft). Riding further downhill, we enter the heart of Nubra valley. It is an amazing experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. The ride along the Shayok River to enter Hunder sand dunes is a treat for the eyes. Once we arrive at our campsite, we get refreshed and head out to explore the sand dunes.
Day 3 – Nubra to Turtuk to Nubra
Around 80km further north from Hunder (Nubra), we reach a beautiful village which was part of former Baltistan. Turtuk is one of the last unexplored places in Leh - Ladakh and village still retains the pristine with very hospitable local people. We return to Hunder same day
Day 4 - Nubra to Pangong Tso via Shayok
Our ride today is the shortcut to the famous Pangong Tso via Shayok where we maneuver our bikes on rocky terrain and in between water streams. It will definitely not seem like a shortcut though! Our campsite for the night, which is our personal favourite, is by the lake itself at Spangmik.
Day 5 – Pangong Tso to Hanle
This will be the most scenic ride of the entire trip although the entire stretch is off the road. From Spangmik, we will head towards Mann and Merak. We grab our lunch at a small village Chushul and then reach our next destination – Hanle. This is where the Indian Astronomical Observatory is located. Our stay will be at the guesthouse there.
Day 6 – Hanle to Tsomoriri
We depart from Hanle post breakfast and reach one of the highest lakes in the world. Although much smaller than Pangong Tso, it looks more majestic. With less tourists visiting this place, it makes the places all the more beautiful. We reach campsite by later afternoon.
Day 7 – Tsomoriri to Tsokar
After exploring around Tsomoriri Lake in the morning, we depart to our next destination at Tso Kar which is fairly nearby. But the entire stretch has beautiful soft off roads! Today we will reach our camp earlier than other days and explore the place and rest for the day.
Day 8 – Tsokar to Leh
It is time to return to Leh and enjoy the hot water shower in the guest house! Today’s drive comprises mainly good roads of Manali Leh Highway after we connect at Debring. Before reaching Leh, we will cross the third highest motorable road - Tanglang La. Reach Leh by evening.
Day 9 – Leh to Hemis Shukpachan to Lamayuru (6/7hrs + 2 hrs river rafting)
Today’s drive will take us towards the Srinagar Highway. We wash off all the dust from our crazy journey by plunging into the waters of Zanskar River! We will go on a crazy rafting expedition which you will surely cherish. Post that, we will also visit our favourite village, Hemis Shukpachan - a beautiful valley village with fresh water streams and lush green fields. After relaxing for a while, we head to the Moonland – Lamayuru and stay for the night.
Day 10 – Lamayuru - Srinagar via Kargil & Zojila Pass (8/9 hrs)
The last leg of our journey leads to Srinagar! We will visit the famous Kargil War Memorial which was built in the memory of the soldiers and officers of the Indian Army. We will reach Srinagar by late evening.Thus your Ladakh Odyssey comes to an end with lots of new memories and experiences to take back.
