Description

An all-girls trip to Leh Ladakh encompasses all the thrills and chills that the “Land of High Passes” has to offer.  The rugged terrains, picturesque roads, and barren mountains in contrast to the breathtaking crystal clear skies, and pristine high-altitude lakes make Ladakh, the ultimate dream destination.  For years, Ladakh has been renowned for being the biker's paradise owning to its offbeat nature but ever since tourism boomed in the region, this adventure hotspot has started to embrace all kinds of tourists including solo female travelers.  In this, all-girl's Ladakh trip, travelers get to ride through the wicked routes, discover some offbeat locations, and make memories with like-minded female travelers.  The aim of curating this Ladakh trip, especially for girls is because we believe in encouraging female solo travelers to rediscover themselves while bonding with other women who share the same passion for traveling as them.

 

If you're someone who has always wished to go on an all-girls backpacking trip then this trip is exactly what you need because we cover all the best places in Ladakh that you need to tick off your bucket list.  In all girls road trip to Ladakh, we explore many destinations that are not only major attractions but carry the essence of Ladakh in every nook. From Buddhist monasteries preserving ancient relics and thangka paintings in their abode to the iconic motorable high passes that attract adventure enthusiasts from all over the world, this Ladkah trip is specially curated to provide you the thrill you seek as well as give you a glimpse at the serenity that the beautiful valleys of Ladakh have to offer.  This trip commences with our arrival at Leh. Since the altitude is high and weather conditions are harsher compared to plain regions, it's necessary to allow your body to get acclimatized properly. Spending a day in Leh is a crucial part of this Ladakh road trip. Since the ascend isn't gradual, many travelers face certain health-related issues when they embark on this journey but you won't have to worry if you let your body adapt to the conditions and you’ll be able to enjoy the sightseeing tour that follows. 

 

Our first stop for the Leh sightseeing in this Ladakh road trip would be none other than the confluence of Zanskar and Indus rivers, locally known as Sangam, located at Nimmu on the Leh-Srinagar highway.  Other tourist attractions in Ladakh that we make sure you must visit include the Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, a beautiful Gurudwara built in memory of Guru Nanak Sahib in 1517.  The next stop during the local sightseeing tour in this Ladakh road trip is the Magnetic Hill. It has gained popularity for its gravity-defying phenomena. At a staggering height of 14,000ft, the uphill slopes seem to pull the vehicles upwards even if you wish to drive in the opposite direction. What makes these cyclops hills even more interesting is that the locals believe that the road is a gateway to heaven.  One of the major attractions in Ladakh is perhaps the most symbolic embodiment of courage and valor. The Hall of Fame, a memorial constructed by the Indian Army to honor the legacy of the Indian soldiers who lost their lives during the many wars that occurred post-partition. The museum has a wall named “The last post” where the last letter written by Captain Vijayant Thapar before his martyrdom is preserved in the frame. Simply being here, surrounded by the history of our soldiers and how they lived their lives, how they sacrificed it will surely leave you feeling overwhelmed and teary-eyed.  The next stop in our Ladakh road trip will provide you with some much-needed peace of mind. The Shanti Stupa is a beautiful white-domed structure that holds ancient relics of Buddha in its embrace. Apart from being the abode to such notable emblems of Buddhist culture, it is also enshrined by the 14th Dalai Lama himself. 

 

We won't confine ourselves to Leh in this All girls ladakh trip but explore the many valleys and villages the travelers paradise has to offer. We will make a small trip to Nubra valley from Leh first. In Tibetan, Nubra is called Dumra which means valley of flowers and the name perfectly suits the vast expanse of land that stretches like a blooming spring field. The best part about this mini road trip from Leh to Nubra is that you'll be traversing through  Khardung La pass which is one of the highest motorable passes in the world, with a staggering height of 18,379 ft. The pass is a gateway to the Shyok and Nubra valleys. Adventure enthusiasts from across the world come on this pass to experience the thrill of riding their bikes at high altitudes. You can also indulge in exciting activities like Double Hump Bactrian Camel safari, ATV rides, and more.  One of the coolest things about this All Girls Ladakh trip comes with an expedition to Turtuk. Turtuk is India's last outpost and was once a part of Pakistan before the Indian Army captured it during the war of 1971. This road trip to Ladakh becomes perfect when you spend some time in Turtuk which is known for its variety of fruits, especially apricots.  The next destination would be Pangong Lake, a name you might be familiar with if you are into pop culture specifically Bollywood. The lake was featured in the iconic scene in the blockbuster Bollywood movie 3 Idiots. It has also been featured in some popular Shah Rukh Khan flicks like Jab tak hai Jaan and Dil se. Apart from being a treat to the eyes with its pristine blue waters, what makes the lake interesting is that it doesn't allow outflow to any other water bodies. 

 

En route to Pangong while on this Ladakh road trip, we will make a stop to pay our respects at the Diskit Monastery which is the oldest and the largest monastery in Leh. It is known for the 106 ft tall statue of Buddha that is perched on top of the hill. The Monastery has its roots dating back to the 14th century with frescos and paintings depicting ancient tales of Buddhist culture.  After our day's excursion, we will check in to our cottages in Pangong Lake in the backdrop. A night with starry skies and a soothing breeze would give you the peace of mind that metropolitan cities have deprived us of. 

In a nutshell, this Leh road trip with Turtuk s one of a kind that covers the majority of attractions in Ladakh and makes the experience the perfect blend of thrill and peace.
