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 be seen in the distance the peaks of K2, Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum 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.
Upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel. You 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
through the old town, beneath the Leh Palace, to allow you to get oriented to
this fascinating city. Overnight in a hotel.
