About this journey
Overview
Ladakh rewards travellers who slow down, and this itinerary is built for exactly that. You base in a Leh property with heating, oxygen enrichment and a garden worth an afternoon, and travel with a private guide who is Ladakhi and can get you into Thiksey for dawn prayers and into artisan homes in the old town. Nubra and Pangong are luxury camps with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms, and one full day goes to the Indus valley's older monasteries — Alchi's eleventh-century murals and Likir — which most itineraries skip. Vehicle, guide and pace are all yours.

Met at the airport and transferred to your heritage hotel. Nothing scheduled: tea in the garden, an oxygen briefing, and a short evening stroll only if you feel well. Altitude is respected here.
