Shyam Valley Trek Tour (140744),Holiday Packages to New Delhi, Leh Ladakh, Likir

Package Overview

THRILLS BY THE SCORE, SCENIC BEAUTY GALORE!
Our itinerary incorporates a relatively easy trek with several memorable walking experiences through the stunningly beautiful landscape with stops at villages and monasteries en route, providing a grand introduction to this exotic and quaint region.

We start with a flight from Delhi to Leh (3,500m) that offers untrammeled, aerial views of the vast Himalayan range and its magnificent, snowcapped peaks. Here, we spend two days visiting local Buddhist monasteries and exploring local markets and villages and acclimatizing ourselves to the altitude. Our trek starts from Taru, a small village close to Leh, and crosses Taru La, a pass at 4,200m, taking us through a deserted plateau. We continue past several Ladakhi villages where we witness a traditional and unchanged way of Life along with a glimpse of the contrasting scenery offered by this part of the Himalayan landscape: /lofty snow-clad and forbidding peaks astride wild and barren hillsides alongside charmingly quaint and pretty villages in valleys that blossom in summer.

Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 : Arrival At Airport

We arrive at the international airport of Delhi at night. We get professional assistance in boarding our early morning flight to Leh after the traditional welcome by company’s representative at Delhi airport.
Day 2 : Drop to Airport and Board the Flight to Leh

Delhi - Leh
In the early morning flight from Delhi, the plane flies over the Himalayan Range providing amazing overhead view of the whole mountain range with gigantic glaciers and glaring peaks before it brings us to Leh, a fertile valley just to the north of the mighty Indus River (this flight is subject to appropriate weather and perfect flying conditions). Upon arrival we transfer to the hotel.
Day 2
The rest of the day is free to relax and acclimatize to the altitude (3,500m). Late afternoon there is a gentle orientation walk in Leh and its bazaars. In the olden days Leh was an important trading center along the old Silk Route from China. The town is dominated by the nine- story Namgyal Palace whose faded grandeur has been likened to a mini version of the Potala Palace in Lhasa.

Next we drive to Hemis Gompa that belongs to Drukpa order (Red hat).
