Hi friends, the best season for Ladakh trip is from May to September.
So, Day 1 was slow, mainly for resting and acclimatization and visiting Shanti Stupa and the Leh palace in Leh. And after that, we went to Leh market. This is the famous Leh market. You can do a lot of shopping here, right from Pashmina, junk jewelry, Tibetan stuff and I have heard that we can get amazing nature lip balm here.
Day 2, was also meant to be slow for getting used to the high altitude and low oxygen. So went to see the river Zanskar in Leh itself. This is called the sangam and here the river Indus and another local river confluence both have completely different water and the water doesn't seem to mix with each other and also, this is the world's highest rafting point.
And on the way back we ate at Gurdwara Pathar Sahib. And today begins the six-hour journey from Leh to Nubra valley via Khardungla pass. Khardungla pass is 18000 ft above the sea level. This place is world highest motorable point. Next place is Nubra valley and this is the desert area here.
Next stopover is Diskit Monastery. And you will see future buddha here. And this place is really peaceful and divine. After Diskit Monastery in Nubra valley, we began our journey back to Leh. Which was full of adventures. It's super awesome I tell you. After this fantastic journey, we reached our hotel in Leh
Day 3, a new journey begins to Pangong lake from Leh. I am at Chang La Pass On the way to Pangong lake. This place is world 2nd highest motorable point after Khardungla. This is 17,688 ft above the sea level. It's too cold here, it’s 2nd highest motorable road I think everything in Ladakh is the world's highest, World's highest rafting point, world's highest motorable road. I can't get enough of this place, seriously.
After a 5-hour long journey from Leh finally we have arrived at Pangong. I'm so looking forward to visiting the Pangong lake right now,
Do you know Pangong lake changes colors five times a day. It is so beautiful, divine and pristine. And after 30-40 km this lake flows into China. It sounds so exotic to me. The climax of the 3 Idiots was shot at this lake. An now the final journey back to Leh.
Another very important thing while coming to Ladakh people think that they might not get much to eat, but surprisingly it's a delight for vegetarians, everywhere you'll get locally made dal and rice, momos and our all-time favorite Maggi, you will get it everywhere. So, there is no worry about food here. And now I can't wait to get back to Leh and visit our final destination
Day 4, The Hall of Fame. And while standing here I want to give a huge salute to my Indian Army. At such a high altitude, in such extreme weather they protect our country, they protect our borders it's simply amazing. Well, that's all from Ladakh
I love you all, take care.
