Day 06 – Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake via Shyok

No visit to Ladakh is complete without the mandatory trip to Pangong Tso. A relatively smooth ride, set off after breakfast for a journey that could take over 7 hours via Shyok valley, depending on how often you stop for photographs. Drive on until, suddenly, a faint blue blip in the distance appears. This huge blue lake stretches out far beyond as brown mountains loom beside it in contrast against the cloudless sky. Drawing huge crowds annually, Pangong Tso is best known for being a part of the last scene Bollywood’s blockbuster "Three Idiots". This unbelievably lovely 604 sqkm lake is partly in India and China as well. The most fascinating thing here, other than the lake being high up at 4305 metres above msl, is the ever-changing water with different shades of blue, as the day progresses.

A warm bed, beside the lake, is ready for you as you step out for a short ramble post dinner. Floyd’s diamonds have never seemed closer as the stars shine on in the clear night sky.

 

Day 07 – Explore Pangong's unseen side with a day excursion

Pangong has some kind of pull or addiction that we would say. One night would never be enough there and hence we have added one more night (based on reviews of all our past Traversers) for you to get high on some surreal views, do some photography and see some migratory birds. We see the unseen landscapes of Pangong Lake with a short excursion towards Chushul village. Those who want to rest/ walk by the lake, meditate, sing, create content, or just sit by the lake reading books are free to do so. We have lunch at the hotel and spend the evening seeing the changing landscapes of Pangong, play games and spend time with fellow travellers. 

 

Day 8 – Pangong to Leh (Hemis Monastery) (150 Kms / 06 hrs)

Today, you will be woken up by calls of the migratory birds. Have a relaxed morning, take a walk along the lake, or go on a photography splurge.

Stop for lunch at Karu. Drive past the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, making sure to capture unbelievably picturesque vistas. Visit Hemis monastery on the way to Leh.
