After arriving at Nubra, we visited the White Sand Dunes at Hunder. In the evening, we visited the Diskit monastery. We love the vibe and peace of monasteries and therefore we spent our evening here. Our overnight stay was at a camp in Khardungla pass and we felt the chills of snow while we were in the middle of a glacier.

We spent the afternoon savoring the beauty of the Pangong Lake and later in the night, we gazed at the sky full of stars and it was all so beautiful, seemed straight out of the movies.

Can You Plan A Trip To Leh Ladakh Much Cooler Than Sandeep’s? He Dares You
Where To Stay In Ladakh
Fort view Hotel (Leh) – The hotel did not have any flattering views to offer. However, food served and services provided were satisfactory.
Nubra Summer camp (Nubra valley)- The tent was no less than a hotel room, replete with a bed, bedside tables, a dressing table and an attached bathroom. Good food catering to north Indian taste buds was served.
Ladakh Summer camp (Pangong)- A few meters away from Pangong lake, this well- maintained camp served the best food with a wide variety of options to choose from. All the required arrangements were made well in advance.
At both the camps, water and electricity were made available for a definite number of hours owing to limited access to these resources at that height. The good thing was that we were made aware of the same at the time of check-in. Having said that, it wasn’t a hassle in any way.
Restaurants In Ladakh
The Tibetan Kitchen is a famous restaurant and is known for serving authentic chinese food. The meal cost us around INR 500- INR 600 for 2 people. Before visiting the restaurant, it is advised to ask the hotel staff to check for the waiting time and book a table in advance since people usually have to wait to get seated.
The café at Shanti Stupa also offers a variety of food and is quite reasonable too and costs around INR 500-600 for two people. This is not a restaurant but an organic store in Leh market, ‘Dzomsa’ offers natural juices of apricot and sea buckthorn and also has a variety of organic products including apricot balm, etc.

Do’s And Don’ts In Ladakh
- If you are travelling by air, plan your return flight in such a way that there is ample time for you to take a rest. Generally, itinerary is framed in such a way that a day before when you have to take the return flight you come back to Leh and visit local places. However, unpredictable weather up the mountains may ruin the plan and one may get stuck between the mountains in the middle of the road.
- Stay overnight at Pangong and Nubra valley camps and enjoy being close to nature.
- If possible, travel with a private vehicle since you will be able to ask the driver to stop whenever needed. There will be instances while travelling when you have the urge to stop and capture the beautiful landscapes. Remember, you may not be coming back again.
- Don’t try to cover too much. The monasteries and other places offer some breath-taking views but there is too much travelling when you visit these places. Instead, spend some time to enjoy the picturesque views on the way.
Ladakh Travel Tips For Travelers
- As suggested by the locals, avoid exerting on the first day as altitude sickness may kick in a few hours post arrival.
- Keep yourself hydrated all the time.
- Ask your driver to carry the chains along whenever you travel because if it snows, nothing will come to your rescue as much as these chains will. The reason they are needed is to keep the car from skidding.
