Begin your expedition in Chandigarh, transitioning to Manali via winding mountain roads. The second day explores Manali’s Solang Valley, where paragliding over apple orchards and ziplining across gorges set the tone for upcoming adventures.
Traverse the Rohtang Pass (3,978m) and Baralacha La (4,890m), stopping at Sarchu for acclimatization. The route offers stark contrasts: emerald meadows give way to lunar-like landscapes near Pang, culminating in Leh’s monastic calm.

: Snap photos at the “Highest Motorable Road” sign before descending into Nubra Valley.
-
: Explore India’s last frontier near the Pakistan border, interacting with Balti communities and sampling apricot-based delicacies.
-
: Ride Bactrian camels amid snow-capped peaks—a surreal fusion of desert and alpine ecosystems.
Spend a night at Pangong Lake (4,225m), where shifting light transforms waters from turquoise to cobalt. Capture the dawn spectacle immortalized in 3 Idiots, then hike to Meren viewpoint for panoramic vistas.
Descend to Leh via Magnetic Hill, defying gravity as vehicles appear to roll uphill. Conclude with a sunset meditation at Shanti Stupa, absorbing 360° views of the Indus Valley.
