Leh-Ladakh Classic Circuit

Leh, Ladakh · 4 – 12 Jul 2026 · 8N / 9D

The Ladakh bucket-list, properly paced. We start with 2 acclimatization days in Leh (Khardung La is no joke), then loop through Nubra (Hunder dunes + double-humped camels), Pangong (yes, the 3 Idiots one), and Tso Moriri (the underrated gem). Flight in and out of Leh.
