Ladakh, India
High desert above 3,500 m — monasteries on ridgelines, the Indus cutting through bare rock, and passes that stay open only a few months a year.

Ladakh is a cold desert on the leeward side of the Himalaya. Leh, the old capital at about 3,500 m, is the hub: Namgyal Tsemo above the town, the bazaar below it, and day-drives out to Thiksey, Hemis and Alchi.
Altitude is the organising fact of any Ladakh trip. Every itinerary we run builds in a full rest day in Leh before going higher, and we cross Khardung La or Chang La only after that day is served.
When to go. Mid-June to mid-September, when the Manali and Srinagar road approaches are both reliably open. Pangong and Nubra are accessible either side of that window by air-in itineraries, weather permitting.

Tenzin drove the Gata Loops and Tanglang La like it was a residential street and still stopped every time someone wanted a photo. Sarchu at 4,290 m is a hard night for some people — ask about the Jispa variant if you know altitude bothers you. Everything else was excellent.

We had done Leh before on a two-day dash from Manali and spent it feeling terrible. Doing it with a night at Jispa and a proper rest day in Leh was a completely different trip. Pangong at four in the afternoon was worth the drive on its own.
