To give this unforgettable experience a peaceful sleep, we have an overnight stay prepped-up in the cradle of nature.

• Today is all about traversing the distance from Pangong to Hanle, an off-beat route added  to make this Leh tour package special. We will ride from Pangong to Hanle post breakfast, and then, even the air will say that you have come a long way. The immaculate waters of Pangong lake will still be a part of our journey – pegged to leave us spellbound as we ride alongside its shore. We will cross Merek Village and then Chushul. Riding further on the Loma bridge, we will move towards Hanle – a beauty-inducing historic village that hosts the highest astronomical observatory in the world. Not to mention, this ravishing place is one of the restricted areas in Ladakh – open to only domestic tourists with permits. We will check in to the guest house and give in to the comfort of a modest but cozy stay.

• Today will be a memorable day. Get ready to experience the adventure as we embark on a soul-stirring gospel ride via one of the highest motorable passes in the world – Umling La pass (19300 ft.). A thrilling route added especially to this  Leh package – this one will have you enraptured for months to come. Many of you might be checking it off your bucket list during our stay in the guest house tonight.

• Have your breakfast, and we’ll be meeting at the ever-so-quaint Tso Moriri lake. On our way, we will cross Ya Ya Tso lake, Nurpa Pass (16,100 ft.), and Mahe Bridge. We will reach Korzok by late afternoon, after which the time will be all yours to try and grasp the symphonies of the Tso Moriri lake. We will wrap this day up at a hotel or camp in Korzok.

• Let’s have our breakfast early today and leave for our next quest. The notes at the end of any Leh packages are often the ones we either want to delay or delete! But we are not going alone this time. There are memories of the divine Ladakh which will never fade. We will cross Puga, the wonder valley that is famous for its hot sulfur spring, and we will pass by the gorgeous Tso Kar – an emerald salt lake that can make anyone believe in magic. We will also come across Taglang La La Pass (17,585ft.), the highest motorable road on Manali Leh Highway. We will reach Leh by the evening and give it a rest with a stay at the hotel here.

We are at the end of our Leh to Leh tour package, the part no one wants to talk about. Such is the allure of this entire region. Let’s recall how we crossed some of the highest passes and roads in the world during this trip. These unparalleled moments and an urge to stay are our excuse to come back here again soon.
