Post breakfast we check out from the hotel and ride north on the Manali-Leh Highway. You get to see some of the most breath taking landscapes that the Western Himalayas can offer. The scenery gets more stark and barren as we climb up to the 16,500 ft high Baralacha La the second mountain pass on our journey. From the pass beautiful views of meadows and snow-capped mountains can be seen. By early evening we reach the small hamlet of Sarchu with set on a large plateau.

Today is a well-deserved rest day for the man and the machine. It is essential at this altitude to acclimatize.

Today is the day we all came on this ride - to be on Top of the World - the Khardung La (5602M)!!! The initial smooth going track becomes tougher as we ascend, full of boulders and stones - but it is certainly worth the ride.   From the pass, one can see all the way south over the Indus valley to seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the Saser massif. Nubra Valley is popularly known as Ldumra or the valley of flowers. It is situated in the north of Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas.The average altitude of the valley is 10,000 Ft. above sea level. Upon arrival in Nubra we check in at our Camp in Hunder for Overnight stay.

After  an  early  breakfast  w e  check  out  from  the  Camp   and  drive  to  HUNDER  wher e  you  have opportunity to ride on a bacterian camel (double humped) amidst the sand dunes of this high altitude desert with snow capped mountains on the horizon. Between Hunder and Diskit you come across sand dunes besides the road. Seen in isolation you could well be amongst the sand dunes of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. It is indeed a strange sight since immediately on the left of the road are rocky mountains that characterize the Ladakhi landscape and in the distance can be seen snow-capped mountains. On the return  stop  at  DISKIT which  is  the  headquarter  t own  of  Nubra  Valley.  Strol l around the bazaar observing the shops and local people going about their daily chores. Diskit is famous for 515 years old Buddhist Monastery, lying magnificently situated on a hilltop, facing the entire Valley.

Later we drive back to Leh in the late afternoon via Khardungla Top. On arrival at Leh you will check in to your Hotel.

Today we head towards Pangong Lake. enroute visiting Shey Palace, The ancient capital of Ladakh & 3 Idiots Rancho School& further 5 Kms Driving through a picturesque landscape we reach Thikseyan impressive complex rising tier upon tier on a hill above the village. Ascend the height of the world's third highest motorable pass Chang

over landslide prone area and wayward mountain streams deciding to change course at will. Upon arrival we check in at our camp / resort for overnight stay.

One of the toughest water crossings on this route is near the Lake - real challenge for man and machine! But once you get to the lake you will forget the tough ride, the maniacal streams and the cold...To find such a huge expanse of calm blue water at that altitude! It’s definitely worth the ride. The PangongTso (lake of great hollowness) is almost 130 Km long and 06 to 07 Km wide, extending east to west at a height of 14000 Ft.

Today we will head back the same way to Leh. We'll make an early start and try to reach Leh by afternoon enroute visiting HemisGompa, the largest monastic foundation of Drukpa Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism. We need a well-deserved rest and an early night. Overnight at Hotel.
