Hanle & Tso Moriri Changthang Explorer | 8 Nights 9 Days

After breakfast, set out to explore Magnetic Hill, Indus-Zanskar Sangam, Alchi Monastery and Likir Monastery. Near Magnetic Hill, open water and distant ridges give the landscape a striking sense of space. Take the route slowly enough for the scenery between Magnetic Hill and Likir Monastery to remain part of the experience. Return to Leh for dinner and a restful night.

The morning begins with breakfast and check-out before this plateau-led journey to Hunder. The road brings Khardung La, Diskit Monastery, Maitreya Buddha and Hunder Sand Dunes naturally into the day. At Khardung La, old courtyards and preserved stories bring a quieter rhythm to the day. Reach the Hunder hotel by evening, check in and unwind before dinner and overnight rest.

After breakfast, check out and leave for Pangong, with Shyok River Road, Durbuk Village, Pangong Tso and Spangmik Village woven into this plateau-led drive. Around Shyok River Road, the water catches shifting light while the high desert stretches beyond it.

Check out after breakfast and continue towards Hanle. Along the way, discover Pangong Shoreline, Chushul Valley, Rezang La Memorial and Hanle Village. From Pangong Shoreline towards Hanle Village, river bends and mineral-coloured slopes keep the road absorbing. After Hanle Village, arrive by evening, check in and relax over dinner before the overnight stay.

Begin the morning with breakfast before visiting Hanle Monastery, Indian Astronomical Observatory, Changthang Plateau and Hanle Night Sky. Between Hanle Monastery and Hanle Night Sky, faith, craft and history unfold naturally along the route. Before returning to Hanle, pause once more for the view beyond Hanle Monastery. After Hanle Night Sky, return for dinner and overnight rest.

After breakfast, check out and leave for Korzok, with Loma Bend, Nyoma Village, Changthang Plateau and Tso Moriri woven into the drive. Between Loma Bend and Tso Moriri, blue water and bare mountain walls shape the changing view. Reach Korzok by evening, complete the hotel check-in and settle down for dinner and overnight rest.

Check out after breakfast and continue towards Leh. Along the way, discover Tso Moriri Morning, Tso Kar, More Plains and Taglang La. Around Tso Moriri Morning, the water catches shifting light while the high desert stretches beyond it. After Taglang La, arrive by evening, check in and relax over dinner before the overnight stay.

After breakfast and hotel check-out, visit Leh Market, Sankar Monastery and Leh Valley Views before beginning the return drive to Leh Airport. Beyond Leh Valley Views, the final road carries one last sweep of hills, valleys and settlements past the window. Reach the drop point as scheduled, ending this plateau-led journey with Leh Market among its final memories.
