This has to be heaven on earth. The snow and the mountains and the clouds make you feel like you are walking in heaven. The main attraction here is the skiing. A must must must visit place. I was in trance because of the beauty of this place.

Climbed it this summer with my 3 close cousins. This one ticks all the boxes, scenic beauty, challenging , amazing people on the trail and more. We heard it may close down for a bit on account of ecological damage so if you do manage to go please respect the mountain. Do not underestimate it though, it is on the boundary between trekking and climbing and altitude speaks for itself. We got rain lower down and snow from base camp onwards so made the last section technical with use of ropes and crampons etc. the summit ridge is steep and exposed and tricky under snow and ice, so you need to be comfortable with at least a class 3 scramble. Summit day is also long with 1200 meters to climb and you need to summit early morning if snowed in or you turn back. Little objective danger though I. E no hanging seracs etc. I suggest the Stok la route which is prettier and longer and much better for acclimatising as you cross a 4900 meter pass and descend ahead of climbing. Take the time to acclimatise well or you will suffer and hate it on summit day. Overall truly amazing and also keep a few days for Leh and surrounds as this is a culturally fascinating area.

When we included Turtuk in the itinerary we were quite clueless what to expect from this border village. But the actual experience was truly exciting & very unique. The route to Turtuk throws at you unique & mesmerizing landscapes soon after you leave Nubra & on the way as you approach Bogdang army base. The actual village Turtuk is very cute with plenty of homestays & you can enjoy the local buck wheat preparation here too . A museum at Turtuk is also quite informative. A must visit if you have the luxury of time either for a day visit or an overnight stay.

Located almost 15 km from Diskit, near Panamik village, this is a very beautiful and secluded attraction, though I won't say its a must-visit place if you are around Panamik or Nubra and got some extra time, then do make a plan. It's a small lake, with an associated story of a monk (best heard from locals only). We visited during December when the air was freezing cold and also the lake was rock frozen, there was not a single soul expect we four friends, we enjoyed Cup noodles beside the lake, cooked on our Butane Stove.
