Visit Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake while touring Ladakh on a segment of the Silk Road and enjoy the little Tibet in India
Ladakh Tour takes you to Leh as well as Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake. Ladakh region is the highest Indian plateau and also one of the least explored Himalaya regions. Because of its proximity with Tibet, Ladakh looks more like Tibet than India which is why the region is also called ‘Little Tibet’. Ladakh also has a historical importance in the region – it has been a part of the famous ancient Silk Road, serving as an important strategic point in the Himalayas since ancient times. Buddhism is believed to have penetrated to Tibet from India via Ladakh Himalayas. Similarly, Nubra valley has served as an important transit point for caravans traveling to Central Asia, China and Tibet.
The Ladakh Tour with Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake starts with your arrival in Delhi, the capital city of India. From Delhi, we fly to Leh, the capital of Ladakh. From Leh, we make a detour to Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake. The tour ends with another flight from Leh to Delhi again, from where you will travel to your onward destination.
