Post breakfast, we check out of the hotel & start our journey to Nubra Valley through Khardungla, which is amongst world's highest motor able roads at 17580 feet above sea level ( Fun fact: the highest pass is Umling La, which passes through the Umlingla Top in Ladakh region at a height of over 19,300 feet). At Khardungla pass the snow capped peaks and the mountain views are amazing. Gateway to the remote Nubra and Shyok valleys, the mountain pass holds a strategic significance as it enables supplies to the Siachen Glacier.
En route we visit Diskit Monastery; which was founded in the 14th Century, and is one of the largest of the Buddhist Monasteries. For adventure lovers, there is the thrill of ATV rides at high altitude sand dunes of Nubra valley ( at your own expense)
We reach Hunder in the evening. The village of Hunder is situated like an oasis amidst the cold desert of the Nubra Valley. The gorgeous silver sand dunes are located at an altitude of 4000m and are bounded by snow-capped mountains. It is home to Bactrian Camels. Hunder lies on the ancient silk route, once an important international trade route. Today it is one of the most strategic points located close as it is to the Siachen Glacier, the world highest battle ground between India and Pakistan.
For the night, we have arranged accommodation in a Boutique farmstay

Turtuk is located approx 80 km from Hunder and takes about 3 hrs. We start our day trip to Turtuk after an early breakfast today.
Turtuk is the last village to which travel permits are issued for tourists in Nubra valley. Located at an altitude of 9846 ft it is inhabited by the Balti people of Tibetian Decent. The Beautiful village of Turtuk is located at the edge of Shayok valley which is part of Nubra valley. Untill 1971 Turtuk was part of Baltistan which was under control of Pakistan. The interesting story that goes around Turtuk by elders is about how one day when they went to bed in night they were in Pakistan and when they woke up they were part of India. To enter Turtuk you have to cross a wooden bridge on top of a river , surrounded with apricot trees, this village is certainly one of most beautiful and colorful villages in our route.
We have arranged lunch at the home of a local family, where you experience the local Balti cuisine along with some interesting conversations with them. .
Optional Activities: If possible, we will arrange a visit to Diskit Monastery to attend the morning prayers

Today we start early for the most awaited part of the trip, the beautiful Pangong lake. The road from Hunder to Pangong Tso (Tso means Lake in Tibetan) takes about 5 hours and goes alongside the River Shyok till Shyok village. Pangong Lake is situated at a height of 14,270 ft above sea level and is said to be one of the highest saline water lake in the world. Lying almost on the Indo-Chinese border, a part of it falls in India, while the other is in China. The beauty of the lake is such that it has been a cinematic backdrop for the popular movie, 3 Idiots. In fact, there is a 3 Idiots Point in the area, where the famous yellow scooter from the movie's climax is stationed. The lake is about 5 km wide at its broadest point and about 134 km in length. The Pangong Tso Lake is a breeding ground for different types of birds, including migratory ones. During the summer, the bar-headed goose and Brahminy Ducks are commonly spotted. Fishe such as False Osman and Kunar Snow Trout are found in the lake
Today we spend the night at a beautiful cottage stay beside lake. Those interested can venture out in the night to see the sky lit by uncountable stars and of course, the milky way

Nausea
nose bleeding
coughing
breathlessness
