Itinerary

Day 1

Leh- Nubra Valley- Panamic:The road journey to Nubra valley leads through Khardongla (the highest motor able road in the world) 18380 ft. around 50 kms. away from Leh. After crossing the pass, you can have a view of Khardong village, Khalser and Diskit (the main villages of Nubra valley).Beyond Khalsar, after crossing the confluence of the Shyok and Nubra rivers, you reach Sumur, with the Samstem Ling Gompa. Built in 1841, this Gelugpa (Yellow Hats) monastery houses over a hundred monks. A large statue of Buddha, flanked by Maitreya and Mahakala dominates the Du-khang.A two-hour ride beyond Sumur takes you to Panamic, best known for its hot sulphur springs. Traditional two-storey houses and prayer wheels are alternated with short scrubby vegetation leading down to agricultural fields next to the Nubra. A refreshing bath in the tubs at the hot springs does a lot for a travel weary body, with enough time left to explore the gompa across the river. Though the monastery is not in regular use, you can chance upon one of the monks who will show you what is believed to be the footprint of Tsong-kha-pa. Panamic is the northern-most town up to which travellers are allowed within India.Overnight Panamic.

Day 2

Panamic-Diskit:Turning westward along the Shyok River, you reach a vast expanse of sandy desert and boulder-filled landscape. The town of Diskit, tucked away along the mountainside is towered by the Karakoram and Ladakh Ranges. The old town with a gompa built in 1420 can be interesting diversions for travellers. Curious tales of a Mongol demon who was slain near the monastery are recounted when you enter the dark precincts. 7 kms north is the small village of Hundur, nestling within a forested patch. This is the farthest point to the west of Leh for visitors.Overnight Diskit.
