Julley! Depart early from Leh with our driver who will take you to the fascinating Nubra Valley. Arrive directly to Diskit Monastery after crossing the high altitude mountain pass called Khardung-La, a gateway to the enchanting landscapes of Nubra & Shyok Valleys.

Diskit Monastery is the oldest & largest Gompa in Nubra Valley - famous for its beautiful architecture, intricate frescos and profound 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 a variety of exciting adventure sports such as Sand Boarding, ATV Rides, Camel Rides and Ziplines. The 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 where you’ll experience warm & authentic Ladakhi hospitality. Upon your arrival at our resort, you will be greeted with a warm smile & a welcome drink made of Sea Buckthorn, a local berry known to be a potent superfood.

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 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 while the food provides the fire that fuels your journey.

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.

DAY 2

Good Morning! After a restful sleep amidst Himalayan silences, wake up to exquisite views of majestic snow-capped Himalayan mountains. Simply let the trail lead you to our Ladakhi Tea Station, a central part of the ancient tea tradition of Ladakh that allows a perfunctory gathering at dawn to begin the day on an auspicious note in tune with nature and those around us.

Indulge in the mindful tea drinking ritual as we guide you through the preparation and consumption of tea made with local herbs native to Ladakh. Discover the unique taste and aroma of wonder tea, a locally sourced brand, while learning about the special properties of each herb.

Time for an eclectic breakfast buffet of assorted Ladakhi specialties paired with continental cuisine at our restaurant, as you gaze at the majestic mountains all around. The luxurious breakfast spread is carefully curated to provide a wholesome and energetic boost to an incredible day ahead. Also, don’t forget to try Jimpo (Sea Buckthorn Juice) which is considered to be a superfood.

Join us for a serene and intimate experience at Samstanling monastery, where you will learn the art of mindful living from the monks. We begin the mindful walk from the silk route (where our property is located ) to the beautiful monastery. This spiritual session will begin with guided meditation with Geshe (the most learned monk), a highly immersive experience that will unfold the magic of inner peace.

Take this opportunity to slow down, disconnect from the stresses of modern life, and unlock the power of living mindfully. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Ladakh and learn from the wisdom of Buddhist teachings to enhance your well-being and find peace within.

We drive you to Lohan Tso which is within a short hike to the pristine Lohan Tso Lake. This is one of the natural wonders of Nubra Valley, as no one is sure how a freshwater lake can exist so high up. Experience the euphoria through an enlightening yoga session at one of the holiest and high altitude lakes in Nubra valley, with a picturesque view in the middle of nowhere. Stare through the crystal clear waters of the lake and leave a pile of seven stones on its banks to mark your visit as per the local tradition.

On the banks of this idyllic lake, you can spend time reflecting on the wonders of nature and also catch a glimpse of some interesting formations on nearby slopes. The right kind of eyes will be able to spot a small hidden monastery that is only visible from certain spots.

There’s nothing better than immersing yourself in the hot, naturally mineral rich waters of the Panamik Hot Springs. It is sure to warm you up while replenishing your body with important nutrients that are said to be a cure for many ailments and imbalances. For anyone not used to the chilly climes of Ladah, the hot waters are truly an elixir.

Marinate yourself in the spring’s eternal magical healing waters as you enjoy pristine views all around and interact with locals and other tourists. Be sure to bring along a bathing satchel and a change of clothes as there are changing stalls, showers and other facilities present here for a comfortable dip.

Next, we visit Ensa Monastery, which is buzzed with special energy. Sitting atop a majestic tall rock on the west bank of the Nubra River, you'll be taken aback by the magnificent age-old paintings made in the true Buddhist tradition and the panoramic views of the northern ridges.

Bask in the warm glow of our bonfire ritual at the end of the day or kindle your own in the privacy of your own cottage. You can reminisce, reflect on your spiritual experiences or revisit your enchantments before going in for a nourishing and wholesome dinner amongst friendly faces and delicious delicacies.

A wholesome buffet awaits you with a wide selection of Continental, Indian, and Ladakhi dishes at our restaurant. Enjoy slow eating where you savour each bite mindfully, and notice the flavours, textures, and sensations that arise from the fresh, wholesome ingredients and expert cooking styles.
