Day 1 Arrival in Leh "Welcome to the land of the high passes.

From Delhi we fly to Leh (3500m) in the morning. We will be picked up at the airport and can check in directly at the guest house and have a rest. 

Day 2  Leh - Trek to Shanti Stupa

We start the day slowly to acclimatize to the altitude, explore the city and its sights on foot. In the afternoon we do a small easy hike to the Shanti Stupa, situated on a hill on the outskirts of Leg with a fantastic view over the valley and a wonderful place for our evening meditation. We'll be back at the hotel for dinner. 

Day 3 Leh to Nubra Valley

After a yoga session and a hearty breakfast, we start. In our minibus with our local driver, an exciting and scenic drive awaits you over one of the highest motorable passes in the world called "Khardung La". Two rivers, Shyiok and Nubra, cross the wide plain of the valley and make it fertile. Almond and walnut trees and delicious apricots thrive here. We spend the night in Diskit, a beautiful village, and end the day with a gentle yoga class. 

Day 4 Diskit to Sumur

We start the day early to use the morning hours for a meditation in the monastery. Then it's about a 1 hour drive to Sumur. A beautiful village located directly on the Nubra river. If you want, you can refresh yourself in the glacier water. We explore the area on foot, enjoy the silence and wonderful area. We end the day at the campfire under the starry sky. 

Day 5 Sumur to Pangong Lake 

The Pangong Tsho is a saltwater lake in the Himalayas, 4250 meters above sea level,

stretching across the border between India and China. Like all lakes in Ladakh, this one is clear and its blues and greens change in intensity and proportion with the position of the sun. The drive there is also a highlight. If we're lucky we'll see wild horses grazing by the side of the road and yaks, a long-haired type of cattle found in high Asia. The journey takes about 6 hours. However, we have provisions with us and the breathtaking landscape already makes the way to the goal. In Pangong we still have some time to explore the area on foot and then move into a guest house for the night. 

Day 6 Back to Leh

Over another high pass "Chang La" we go back to Leh. With a stop at Changala Cafe and Changla Baba Temple. In the afternoon we reach Leh again and rest in the hotel and end the day with a relaxed local dinner. 

Day 7 Trip to Lamayuru "Moonland"

Today we drive west to Lamayuru, one of the largest and oldest monasteries in Ladakh. Today about 150 monks live in the monastery. when we have arrived and moved into our homestay, we take a relaxed walk up to the monastery. It is very touching to see how the monks of all ages live together in community. On our last visit we felt very welcome and the monks were open to nice conversations and questions. We end the day with a meditation in the countryside followed by dinner. 

Day 8 Back to Leh

We drive back to Leh, where we can rest in the hotel first. Those who wish can stay in Leh or join us at Thicksey Monastery. It is one of the most impressive structures in Ladakh and houses a 15 m tall and particularly beautiful statue of Maitreya, the Buddha of the future. We end the evening relaxed in a restaurant in Leh. 

Day 9 Flight back to Delhi

We bid farewell to Ladakh. On our flight we once again enjoy the view of the mountains and valleys.
