Leh – Ladakh Grand Tour:

Below is the itinerary followed of our Leh – Ladakh Grand tour. This covers all three major tourist destinations of Ladakh including Nubra Valley, Lake 1 – Pangong Tso Lake and Lake 2 – Tso Moriri Lake. The itinerary circuits from one side Srinagar – Leh Highway and returns from the Manali – Leh Highway side.

We would be starting from Srinagar side that gives us two benefits:

The body gets better acclimatized due to gradual ascent by the time you reach Leh
You save one day as Tso Moriri and Tso Kar Lakes can be adjusted once you start towards Manali from Leh.
