With its spectacular landscapes and picturesque gompas (Buddhist Tibetan monasteries) Ladakh is awe-inspiring and nothing less than a paradise. The largest province in Jammu & Kashmir, surrounded by the Karakoram mountains in the north and by the Himalayas in the south, Ladakh will certainly have you asking for more and you will feel the closest to nature and that’s what Sajal and his friends wanted. Taking a trip to the spectacular destination and experiencing Ladakh in summer was all that they needed to have a good time and chill. Know more about how you can ditch the fancy places and plan an incredible trip with your friends in the serene landscape of Ladakh by reading along with Sajal’s experience.
It was time. We are friends but because of the monotony of life it’s difficult to catch up, so we decided to take this trip and explore nature together and reconnect and rewind. We are admirers of nature and love places with snow-capped peaks and captivating views. Having already visited Gangtok and Manali, Ladakh seemed like the best destination for this trip and we did not give it a second thought. Besides that, we came across many beautiful pictures of Ladakh on social media and when we checked Ladakh’s weather in April we just said Ladakh is on!

At Gurudwara Pathar Sahib we felt very spiritually moved and loved the experience. The city is very beautiful and the landscape of Ladakh is captivating. We actually felt that when we roamed around.
2. Exploring Nubra Valley
A tri-armed valley in the north-east district of Ladakh, Nubra Valley was the most beautiful place we visited on our summer trip to Ladakh. This was our favorite experience from our trip to Ladakh.

With the zig-zag trail continuing till Hundar village this drive was an unforgettable experience. We absolutely loved every bit of it and it madfe us say a trip to Ladakh in summer is lit.

3. Experiencing The Exotic TurTuk Village
TurTuk Village is the last village in India and we had the most delightful experience here and which made our Ladakh travel in summer a great experience. Approximately 115 kilometers away from Nubra Valley, the exotic TurTuk Village with a population of just 4000 is a must visit for everyone visiting Ladakh. This village was under Pakistan occupied Kashmir even till forty years back and the people here communicate in Baltistan language. The beautiful village with its warm and welcoming people was all in all a great experience and something we loved.
4. A Day At Pangong Lake
We drove to Pangong Lake via Shayok and the drive yet again was an experience in itself. The panoramic lake surrounded by magnificent mountains with its captivating views was a treat for the eyes and soul soothing. Situated 14,000 feet above sea level, this lake was mesmerizing in every way possible and a day there was a day done right. Our trip to Ladakh in summer was absolutely amazing and spending a day at Pangong lake certainly added to the experience.
