Day wise Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Arrival

    Srinagar is the start point for this tour design.

    On arrival, you shall be taken to the chosen Houseboat for your stay.

    A heritage walk through the old city of Srinagar and a visit to Jalali House at Zadibal and the Jama Masjid start off your dream, exclusive travel choice. The evening is marked by a ride in the Shikara at Dal Lake/Nigeen Lake. A breathtaking sunset is all yours to witness and cherish.

    • Meals & Drinks : According via Hotel
  • Day 2 : Onwards to Kargil

    After your favourite breakfast served on the Houseboat, you shall be driving to Kargilpasing through Drass.

    Kargil has a unusual connection with our hearts and head. Being a place where armies clashed and destroyed generations of cultural co-existence and livelihoods, a war that exposed the quiet tribal and cross-cultural civilization of the Drokpas, this place even in passing is a touchstone experience. A visit to the War memorial underlines this experience and is an offering and salutation in one.

    Drassis the second coldest place in the world. It also marks the stark difference between the two sides of this state – Kashmir as the verdant beauty and Ladakh as the cold desert.

    A well-appointed accommodation in Kargil shall be your night stay. This shall be your first Overnighter in Kargil.

    • Meals & Drinks : According via Hotel
  • Day 3 : Onwards to Leh

    Not only do you cross over from verdancy and Chinar beauty to a cold desert but you also cross over from a largely Muslim and Hindu presence to a Buddhist one, as you shall drive from Kargil to Leh.

    The Lamayuru monastery, a moonscape presence, marks this difference first. As you drive on you shall see the Confluence of the Indus and the Zanskar rivers, a magnificently clear two-colour ‘sangam’ at Nimoo.

    You shall stop at the Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, a witness of Sikh influence and Indian Army CSR and social involvement. This may also be seen as a geological wonder just as the Magnetic Hill close by.

    Just on the outskirts of Leh, the Hall of Fame and the War Museum area must halt.

    Early evening, you shall be in Leh and shall check-in at the chosen hotel. Dinner and warm conversations of the day’s sights and sounds shall make this your first Overnighter in Leh.

    • Meals & Drinks : According via Hotel

    You shall then witness the DeskitGompa which is considered to be one of the oldest Monastery in Ladakh. A marvelous specimen of Buddhist art and ritual, the Deskit is must see place on this circuit.

    A stunning 77 kms drive of about a 3 hours will bring you to Turtuk.

    Turtuk, is the last frontier allowed to civilians and marks the border to Pakistan’s Baltistan region. As is expected of a border town it shows the intermingling of racial, cultural, religious and socio-economic aspects of people. Even linguistically, language-wise, these people are more Balti speaking than Hindi or Budhic speaking

    You shall visit TurtukYul and Farol villages. The Fridge point, the Turtuk View point, the Jama Masjid and Mohammad Khan’s House are the highlights of the day.

    This famous blue brackish Lake of Pangong is roughly 5-6 kms wide and over 144 kms long with half of it running In Chinese territory. It is like all other lakes in the Ladakh region a remnant of the Tethys Sea, and the geological process that raised the ancient ocean waters and even formed the folded Himalayan ranges.
