Overview
This 14-day Ladakh group car tour Leh to Leh is all about big landscapes, long roads, and unforgettable moments. Over the course of 1,800–1,900 km, you’ll travel through some of the most stunning and remote places on Earth, crossing legendary mountain passes like Khardung La and the world’s highest motorable road, Umling La (5,913 m).
The journey takes you through the sand dunes of Nubra Valley, the quiet beauty of Turtuk, the ever-changing colors of Pangong Lake, the wide open spaces of Hanle, and the peaceful waters of Tso Moriri and Puga Valley. Every day brings a new landscape—turquoise lakes, rugged mountains, golden deserts, and small villages that feel far removed from the modern world.
Along the way, you’ll visit ancient monasteries and heritage sites, relax in natural hot springs, and spend time in Balti villages, getting a closer look at local life and culture. There’s also time to slow down—rest days by the lakes, evening bonfires, friendly games, and nights under clear, star-filled skies.
With professional guides and full support throughout the journey, this trip is perfect for adventure lovers and photography enthusiasts who want more than just a sightseeing tour. The best time to experience it is between June and September, when the roads are open and Ladakh shows its true colors.
