Watch them perform the daily rituals and chanting an then return to your accommodation for a late breakfast. After check out, take a short drive to Alchi monastery via the famous ‘moonland territory’ – so-called because of its crater-like landscape which some people say resembles the environment of the moon.

Depart Leh after breakfast and head towards ‘Nubra Valley’ – popularly known as the ‘valley of flowers’ because of the variety of wildflowers and medicinal plants grown all over the local area. Situated in the northern part of Ladakh (between the Karakoram and Ladakh Himalayan ranges), the journey between Leh and Nubra takes you over ‘Khardong-la-pass’ which is the world’s highest motor-able road (located 18390 feet above sea level)!

Health Note & Medicine :
Ladakh is a high altitude region and it is not uncommon for people to experience mild symptoms of altitude sickness on arrival. For this reason, we suggest clients consult their doctor before travel and if recommended, take Diamox (or a similar medication) to help with the acclimatization process. We purposely arrange a complete day of rest for the first day of all tours and our guides and drivers are well equipped to handle altitude related emergencies throughout the tour.
Most other standard medications are available in the main town of Leh, but if you prefer your own trusted brands or if you have any specific prescriptions please bring these with you for your Ladakh holiday period.
People often suffer from pulmonary oedemas and the likes as a result of not taking it easy at high altitudes
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can hit the best of us, with nausea and headaches ruining a perfectly good trip. Stay off the alcohol, ideally through the trip, but definitely while acclimatising.
Staying hydrated is incredibly important. You may not feel the need to drink water, but ensure that you intake sufficient amount of water. Don’t spend more than 20 minutes at Khardungla pass as the high altitude may hit you.
Staying Connected:
All prepaid Indian SIM cards will not work in Ladakh and due to security restrictions it is very difficult for outsiders to obtain a local SIM card. Post paid services with BSNL, Airtel and Aircel will work but we suggest relying on internet based services such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, Facebook or email to keep in touch.
Note: There is free WIFI in most hotels and there are plenty of internet cafes in the main bazaar, but be aware that power failures occur frequently and it is not uncommon for all satellite internet connections to be lost for up to a few days at a time.
Weather :
The best time to vacation in Ladakh is between May and September. Days are usually nice and sunny, but the nights can be quite cool. It is unlikely clients will experience much rainfall but they may get wet from snow at Khardung La or snowy areas whilst driving.
Currency :
Ladakh falls in Jammu & Kashmir and is an integral part of India and local currency is Indian National Rupee (INR) . The credit & debit card facilities are not always available so we suggest using local ATMs or currency exchange services at hotels or government approved vendors.
Shopping :
The best buys in Ladakh include: authentic pashmina shawls and stoles, handwoven rugs, carpets or decorative wall hangings, locally made woollen socks, gloves, beanies or jackets, trekking gear including backpacks, clothing, boots and climbing accessories, traditional ‘chung’ pots, teapots, and singing bowls, tibetan handicraft items including prayer wheels, bowls, Buddhist masks and Thangka paintings and a variety of silver and traditional Ladakhi turquoise jewellery.
Clothing:
Ladakh is a very casual although somewhat conservative although and you don’t need too many outfits as laundry services are available in the main town of Leh. As a general rule, we recommend loose fitting, lightweight materials which will be the most comfortable, plus a warm jacket or layers of warmer clothes are advised for cooler evenings and trekking trips. Suggested packing items include:
