All about the Bangalore to Ladakh SUV Tour (29D/28N).

Ladakh is a word that translates into high passes and this region that lies between the Himalayas and Karakoram range has some of the highest motorable roads in the world reaching up to 18,000 feet. With our Bangalore to Ladakh road trip, you will experience the best stays and most fun-filled routes across this region.

Srinagar is literally heaven on earth and one visit to this city will ensure that you fall in love with it. Shimmering lakes with gondola like boats, Mughal era gardens, a lively community of people, and a cuisine full of rich fragrant spices – this is what awaits you in the city of Srinagar.

Located in the Zanskar range of the Himalayas is the small town of Kargil, which shot into prominence during the Kargil War between India and Pakistan. Home to the world’s highest battle, this picturesque town has much more going on! Rock cut buddha statues, gorgeous abandoned villages, amazing viewpoints, pristine lakes, and lovely people make Kargil a must-visit destination.

Leh is the epicenter of tourism in the Ladakh region and this small village has grown into a full-scale city, thanks to media features and Bollywood movies. It is now the gateway to popular destinations like Nubra valley, Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri.

Once a remote village, Nubra Valley is now a major tourist attraction thanks to its lovely sand dunes and Bactrian Camels. This beautiful valley consists of small villages, each with its own characteristic.

Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri are high altitude lakes located close to Leh city. Surrounded by bald, brown mountains the lakes, with their azure blue waters make for a stunning sight, especially for landscape photographers. While Pangong Tso is located at an altitude of 13, 900 feet, Tso Moriri sits at 14,800 feet.
