Alchi monastery on the way. Arrive at Kargil, check in to your hotels, and
retire for the day.

Tangol. Drive on a bumpy path along Suru River, catching a glimpse of Nun - Kun
peaks. Relax, acclimatize and sort your trekking equipment at Tangol campsite,
as the hiking part starts from here.
The hiking trail will pass through 3 camps on altitude - 18044, 20013 & 20997 feet respectively. Finally, reaching the summit. Enjoy your time at the summit top, and then descend back on the same track to Tangol. After reaching Leh, take a flight back to Delhi from Leh. Marking the end of the expedition.

You'll go to a distant Himalayan region and possibly set a new high altitude mark. All along the route, the crew visits a historical off-the-beaten-path region of India, where they encounter Buddhist setting, ancient monasteries, dancing, unique cuisine, and historical hamlets alongside the ancient Silk Highway.

Nun is situated in the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir, in the Ladakh area. Ladakh has borders with Tibet to the east, and Tibet civilization has a massive effect on the territory. We fly to Leh from Delhi, the ancient capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh one of the very few surviving Buddhist strongholds in South Asia. Leh offers visitors the chance to visit "off the beaten path" ancient sites, villages, colorful marketplaces, and the deserted royal palace. During this journey, we will visit historic Buddhist temples and see the austere scenery of the Indus Valley and the Himalayan Mountains surrounding it.
