Leh Ladakh Classic
Leh · Sham Valley · Nubra · Pangong — the iconic Ladakh circuit over the world's highest passes, with permits and oxygen support arranged.
The high-altitude classic
The essential Ladakh journey. After a rest day in Leh to acclimatise, you'll explore the Sham Valley sights, cross the mighty Khardung La into the Nubra Valley with its sand dunes and camels, then drive to the surreal blue of Pangong Lake. We build in acclimatisation and carry oxygen for your safety.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permits for Ladakh?
Yes — Inner Line Permits are required for Nubra and Pangong. We arrange them. Carry a government photo ID; children need a birth certificate.
How do I handle the high altitude?
Day 1 is a complete rest day to acclimatise, which is essential. We keep an oxygen cylinder and basic medical kit in the vehicle. Drink water, avoid alcohol, and take it slow on arrival.
Is the vehicle available all day?
The vehicle covers the planned itinerary. Extra sightseeing beyond the plan is charged separately, as is standard in Ladakh.
What is the best time to visit Ladakh?
May to September, when the passes and Pangong route are reliably open. We will advise based on your dates.
