The two great set-pieces of Ladakh — the dunes of Nubra and the blue of Pangong — on a compact, well-paced route.
Arrive and acclimatise, with time for Leh's old market and the nearby monasteries of Thiksey and Shey before heading higher.
Cross the great pass into the desert valley of Nubra. Bactrian camels on the Hunder dunes, and a night among the orchards.
A wild, little-travelled road along the Shyok river brings you to the shores of Pangong — a quieter way to arrive.
Sunrise over the lake, then the drive back over Chang La to Leh for a final evening.
Onward from Leh — or extend with a farmstay or the Sham Valley.
