It’s that time of the year again, when we pack our woolens and get ready to go to the mesmerizing land of Ladakh. We have gone there every year since the year of inception of The Blueberry Trails and still the beauty that surrounds us never ceases to inspire. It takes our breath away every time. We have designed this trip for you keeping in mind the local nuances and smaller experiences that the land offers. We try to stay away from the mainstream, beyond the usual circuits.

Things not mentioned in inclusions
Offbeat curated stays like campsites in Mulbek and Pangong Tso with incomparable views. The blues of Pangong or the lush green alpine mountain slopes are sights you cannot forget too easily, even if you try. Alternatively, we would stay in a hotel in Leh, and a lovely homestay at Srinagar, for a more local flavour to the trip.
Adventures like village walks, and river side trails. Experiences, experiences, experiences; many of them are guided and many more will be the ones you find along the way.
Architecture, monasteries, and local culture; whether it’s a cup of tea shared with locals or a quiet moment spent in a distant monastery watching a monk pray, whether it’s marveling at the bright colours that adorn these structures or wondering how they keep warm in the -50 degree weather conditions. Curiosity knows no bounds and our drivers will have the answers to most of your queries if not all.
Homestay experience in Ladakh gives you an insight into the Ladakhi way of life. These basic stays will let you explore the culture, the local food, and the typical Ladakh lifestyle. Perhaps you can assist them in their day-to-day activities or learn their way of living.
Tour the dizzying passes of Khardungla and Chang La. These passes range from 13000 ft above sea level to 18380 ft (for Khardungla). You’ll literally be on top of the world!
Land at Srinagar and get a transfer to your homestay. Settle in and soak in the sun in the family lawn. Then head out to explore the city. The old city, the neighboring markets and a quintessential Kashmiri meal is a must! That’s the plan in Srinagar as we gear up for the road trip ahead!

Driving time: 45 mins
Stay Homestay

Day 3: Mulbek to Leh via Lamayuru and Alchi Monastary
Post breakfast, we head out for our roadtrip to Leh. Our first stop is Lamayuru Monastary in Sham Valley after which we’ll explore the oldest monastery of Alchi and ultimately stop in Leh. Leh is a beautiful city, nestled in the Indus Valley. The Shanti Stupa and the Leh Palace form a formidable backdrop to the city and the roads that leave the city lead you to Srinagar in one direction and Manali in the other. Leh welcomes you with a warm glass of ginger honey lemon tea and it takes very little to fall in love with this city.

Day 4: Leh
Get to Leh and relax at your stay, allow your body to acclimatize to the sudden change in altitude. In Leh you will be staying in a comfortable hotel away from the main market (a short 10-15 minute walk away to be precise). It is closer to the Shanti Stupa and gives you some great views of snow-clad peaks.

Stop at the Diskit Monastary on the way back, to enjoy the spectacular views that it offers.
