Srinagar Ladakh Road Trip for 13 Days
Overview
Our adventure starts in Srinagar, where we explore the city’s sights before driving to Leh. Along the way, we witness the breathtaking transformation of landscapes as we ascend in altitude.
Upon reaching Leh, we take a day to relax and adjust to the high altitude. Then, we delve into Ladakh’s Buddhist culture by visiting monasteries like Thiksey and Hemis.
Our exploration extends to the surrounding areas, including the stunning Nubra Valley and the iconic Pangong Lake. We also conquer the famed Khardungla Pass, one of the world’s highest motorable passes.
Throughout our journey, we immerse ourselves in the local way of life, interacting with the friendly Ladakhi people and learning about their traditions. From the simplicity of their daily routines to the warmth of their hospitality, every moment adds to the richness of our experience.
As we bid farewell to Leh, we carry with us memories of the region’s majestic mountains, serene valleys, and the profound cultural tapestry that defines Ladakh.
