The Leh Nubra Pangong Tso Circuit via the 18000 ft Digar La is our brand-new, see-it-all, best-of-Ladakh tour. The circuit puts an adventurous twist on the classic Nubra-Pangong sightseeing tour. It is the perfect way to explore Ladakh for beginner trekkers with a little bit of trekking and all of Ladakh’s awe-inspiring, unreal landscapes. The tour starts with two days of acclimatization and local sightseeing in Leh town, followed by a 4-day easy trek across the 17,800 ft Digar La that connects the Indus and Nubra valleys. The route to the pass goes through classic dry Ladakh terrain with sparse vegetation, and a high possibility of wildlife sightings – trust us, we saw a wolf pack there. After the pass, the trail descends to Digar in the Nubra valley with magnificent views of the Karakoram range to the north. From Digar, we drive to Hunder in the Nubra Valley, followed by a jeep trip to the unbelievably gigantic Pangong Tso across the high passes of Wari La and Chang La.
