Ladakh by Road: The Leh–Nubra–Pangong Circuit
28 May 2026 · Parth Holidays Team
High passes, sand dunes and an electric-blue lake — what to expect on Ladakh’s classic road circuit.
Few drives compare to Ladakh. The classic circuit takes you from Leh over Khardung La into the Nubra Valley, then across to the surreal blue of Pangong Tso.
Give yourself a full day in Leh to acclimatise before heading higher — it makes all the difference. Carry a light jacket even in summer, stay hydrated, and keep some buffer time; the mountains set the schedule here, not the clock.
Our 4-night itinerary balances the big sights with enough rest. If you have more days, we can add Tso Moriri or the Sham Valley.
