Delhi - Leh (3500 m) by plane. Afternoon at leisure. We can visit the palace and the gompa of Leh and the Stock royal palace.


Leh  : Leh has nonetheless retained a tranquil side, and is a pleasant place to unwind after a long bus journey. Attraction in and around the town itself include the former palace and Namgyal Tsemo gompa, perched amid strings of prayer flags above the narrow dusty streets of the old quarter. A short walk north across the fields, the small monastery at Sankar harbours accomplished modern Tantric murals and a thousand-headed Avalokitesvara deity. Leh is also good base for longer day-trip out into the Indus valley. Among the string of picturesque villages and gompas within reach by bus are shey, site of a derelict seventeenth-century palace, and the spectacular Tikse gompa

Day 03 : Leh City Tour

After breakfast sightseeing  leh , soaking up the atmosphere of the bazaar. Sixty or so years ago, this bustling three-lined boulevard was the busiest market between Yarkhand and Kashmir. Merchants from Srinagar and the Punjab would gather to barter for pashmina wool brought down by nomadic herdsmen from western Tibet, or for raw silk hauled across the Karakorams on Bactrian camels. These days, though the street is swash with kitsch curio shops and handicraft emporiums, it retains a distinctly central Asian feel. Even if you’re not shopping for trekking supplies, check out the provision stores along the street, where bright pink, turquoise, and wine-red silk cummerbunds hang in the windows.
