Magic Ladakh 5 Nights / 6 Days Tour

The 5 Nights / 6 Days Leh Ladakh Tour Package offered by Kashmir Travel Portal is a classic, budget-friendly itinerary covering the highlights of Leh, Nubra Valley, and Pangong Lake. This is a popular short-duration trip in Ladakh, often called the "Magical Ladakh" circuit, focusing on acclimatization, high passes, monasteries, and iconic lakes.

  • Duration & Nights: Matches exactly – 2 nights Leh (arrival + local sightseeing + return), 1 night Nubra, 1 night Pangong, 1 night Leh (total 5 nights).
  • Best Time: 25 April to September aligns perfectly with the peak season (late April/May to mid-September). Roads to Khardung La (world's highest motorable pass at ~18,380 ft) and Chang La open fully, weather is pleasant (daytime 15-25°C), lakes are thawed with stunning blue colors, and minimal rain risk. Early April may have snow at passes, while late September offers fewer crowds and fall hues.
  • Price Context: At ₹17,000/person (group of 4-6), this is on the lower end of market rates for 2025-2026. Similar packages from reputable operators range from ₹16,000-₹25,000+ (including shared Innova/Xylo cab, meals, permits, camps/hotels). It suits budget travelers, but confirm inclusions (e.g., meals, permits, entry fees) to avoid surprises.

Time to visit – 25 April till September
