Day
01: Arrive at Leh airport by morning flight from Delhi.
This flight is one of the most sensational flights in the
world. On a clear day from one side of the aircraft can

and on the other side of the aircraft, so close that you
feel you could reach out and touch it, is the Nun Kun massif.

would take a little time to settle in and acclimatize since
you have gone from a relatively low elevation in New Delhi
to over 11,000 feet! During the afternoon, you can walk

to get oriented to this fascinating city. Overnight in a
hotel.
