Ladakh road trip - The adventure of a lifetime

For me, the Ladakh road trip is the adventure of a lifetime. Known for its rugged mountains, serene monasteries, and crystal-clear lakes, Ladakh is the perfect destination for road trip enthusiasts. Here’s my suggested itinerary: Day 1: Fly to Delhi Day 2: Early morning flight to Leh. Take time to rest and acclimate to the high altitude to avoid acute mountain sickness. Take a slow walk around the town center. Day 3: Explore Leh and the nearby monasteries. Day 4: Leh - Khardung-La Pass - Nubra Valley Day 5: Nubra Valley - Turtuk Village - Nubra Valley Day 6: Nubra Valley - Pangong Lake Day 7: Pangong Lake - Changla Pass - Leh Day 8: Leh - Tso Moriri Lake (or go directly from Pangong to Tso Moriri to save time—the road is beautiful). Day 9: Tso Moriri - Tanglang La Pass - Leh Day 10: Fly out from Leh. The Ladakh road trip offers countless opportunities for breathtaking photography. Be sure to bring a good camera and plenty of memory cards! You can also use a drone (flycam) in certain spots for stunning aerial shots. #roadtrips

Travelling to Ladakh? Then you must come in autumn season

The trip to Ladakh is one of my most memorable experiences. I visited Ladakh in autumn because I had heard that the region is especially beautiful during this season. Indeed, that proved to be true. With its golden landscapes and crisp air, late September to early October is the perfect time to witness how the region transforms as the vibrant greenery fades into shades of gold, orange, and brown. Here are the places where I experienced the beauty of autumn: Leh: When we arrived in Leh, the trees in the city were still mostly green, so we decided to head to the Hemis Monastery. Fortunately, the trees there were beginning to turn yellow. Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri: In autumn, the stark contrast of barren mountains, shimmering lakes, and golden poplar trees creates stunning views. The colors of the lakes were truly amazing. Changthang Valley: On the road from Leh to Tso Moriri, we saw an abundance of yellow and red trees, turning the desert landscape into a bright and vibrant picture. #autumnbeauty

Ladakh, India

Ladakh is most famous for breathtaking landscapes, the crystal clear skies, the highest mountain passes, thrilling adventure activities, Buddhist Monasteries and festivals. Not only is it the only place in India where the graceful Double Hump camels found, but it is also the place where you will find the Magnetic Hill, the one-of-a-kind phenomena that defies gravity. Ladakh gains a lot of popularity for being the only cold desert in India apart from bordering the World’s highest saltwater Lake Pangong Lake. Riding up the highest motorable road in the world, Khardung la is a dream come true for many. The Hunder sand dunes, frozen river trek and snow leopards all find their only home in Ladakh. #passionpassport

Leh Market, Ladakh India

From my inn yesterday, it was only 5 minutes by foot but it felt far because it was cold hehe. Every time I pass by here I am always greeted with the word "Juleh" which means Hello, in Leh I am mistaken for a Malaysian while in Jammu and Jaipur it is mistaken for a Ladakh. Operational hours are around 9/10 am to 7 pm the market is already quiet and dark. Have you ever enjoyed hanging out at a travel agent until 8 pm I was afraid to go home until I forgot the way home because it was dark. Yes, I like hanging out at travel agents because the owner is kind, likes to give hot tea while chatting while sharing wifi 😂. #passionpassport

Leh in Love❤️ in India 🏔️

This is the first trip and best trip, Since I was born. and takes 10 days for this trip. Both happy, memories, tired, dangerous and very difficult because of traveling without internet. Can't make incoming and outgoing calls, can only use Wi-Fi when staying at the hotel. And we was getting sick, Because we had reached a very high point. Shortness of breath, fever due to insufficient oxygen in the body. But we made it through until the 10th and arrived home safely😊 There are a lot of pictures but I can't post them all. This trip is called **Leh in Love**❤️

Nubra Valley, Ladakh India

Nubra, also called Dumra, is a historical region of Ladakh, that is currently administered as a subdivision and a tehsil in the Leh district. Its inhabited areas form a tri-armed valley cut by the Nubra and Shyok rivers. Its Tibetan name Dumra means a "valley of flowers". Demands have been raised and BJP has hinted at creation of Nubra as a new district. Diskit, the headquarters of Nubra, is 120 km north from Leh, the capital of Ladakh. Foreign nationals are required to get a Protected area permit to visit Nubra. Since 1 April 2017 Indian citizens are also required to get an Inner Line Permit to visit it. #passionpassport

Khardung La View Point, Ladakh India

Khardung La is situated at an elevation of 5,359 meters. It is hailed to be the highest motorable pass all across the globe. Khardung La is located 39.7 Kms from Leh by road. It does not have an airport so you’ll have to take a flight to leh and from there you can board a taxi to reach Khardung La Pass. Here are few other options to reach Khardung La Pass From Leh. March-May and September -October are the best to visit the Mountain Pass. Oxygen and air pressure Levels are extremely low at Khardung La Pass. Running around or indulging in strenuous activities can lead to sickness or nausea so take precautions for that. #passionpassport

Nubra valley sub-district lies north-east of Ladakh with Deskit village as its main headquarters. It takes about 5 -6 hrs to reach Nubra from Leh (115 km). The valley is beautiful in with its breath-taking backdrop, clear skies, flowing water and transiting landscape. The valley is however closed in the winter. It was quite surprising to see empty barren land that were all sand dunes! Well it proved to be really fun since I rode an ATV! And let me tell you it was just thrilling! Funny thing is though you find rivers and water in plenty you will see Sand Dunes just like any desert and camels (called Bactrian Camels) as well. This peculiar climate of lack of rainfall, cold, dry and high altitude makes inhabitable for very few animals. This is also provided to be a great place for camel rides! The speciality about Leh camels are that they are double humped! #christmasgiveaway #christmaslights #momentsmission
