From Khardung-La, we can drive you directly to Diskit Monastery - the oldest and largest Gompa in Nubra Valley - famous for its beautiful architecture, intricate frescos and profound wall paintings. Bask in the Buddhist vibrations of an ancient monument that tells of a peaceful and prophetic culture and admire the artwork that has adorned these walls for aeons.

Explore the famous sand dunes of a high-altitude desert along with shaggy Bactrian Camels and exciting adventure sports such as Sand Boarding, ATV Rides, Camel Rides and Ziplines. These silvery sand dunes of Hunder are symbolic of the surreal beauty that is ever-present in these parts.

Now it’s time to head back to Lchang Nang for an invigorating Spa session to help you relax and enjoy your pleasant evening.

After a long day of travel, head to the Spa for a pampering session to rejuvenate the weary traveller in you. In a serene and spirit-restful environment, our indigenous wellness packages instil peace and beauty to your visage using age-old heirloom wisdom honed to perfection over millennia. Engage in our Spa Rituals performed by seasoned massage therapists using indigenous ingredients and time-tested therapeutic practices that aim to connect your mind, body and soul to nature.

As the sun begins to set and the temperature dips, it is customary in Ladakh to light up a bonfire for guests and gather around for a sharing of ideas, experiences and gossip. Watch the eternal dance of the flames as the bright stars of Ladakh begin to peek through the darkness and illuminate the valley. For a more intimate experience, you may request for a personal bonfire around your private cottage.

After the bonfire, have dinner slowly. Relish a royal range of diverse delicacies as you sample an ever-changing assortment of epicurean delights. Let the rich aromas and flavours of an ancient culinary tradition entice you and let Ladakhi food provide the fire that fuels your journey. After dinner, the exploration continues with a spectacular stargazing session that seeks to traverse the starry skies of Nubra.

Unbeknownst to most, Nubra Valley is god’s gift to astronomers. Nubra’s skies are said to be one of the best sites for Stargazing in the world. Its unique geography, crystal clear air and high elevation make it the perfect place to spot shooting stars, connect constellations and gaze at galaxies.
