Take a rest at the hotel and acclimatize yourself to the high altitudes of Ladakh region (3505m). |

After an early breakfast, drive to Alchi Monastery but drop by the famous Lamayuru Monastery (the Moonland Monastery) enroute. One of the main attractions of Alchi Monastery is its ancient wall paintings and frescoes. These intricate and beautifully preserved artworks depict various Buddhist deities, scenes from Buddhist mythology, and intricate patterns. |
| • |
Head to Bagso & Likir Monasteries. Admire the confluence of Indus – Zanskar Rivers and the effects of Magnetic hill (defiance of the law of gravity). Magnetic Hill is famous for the optical illusion it creates. When you drive or park your vehicle at a specific spot on the road, it appears as if the vehicle is moving uphill against gravity on its own, even when the engine is turned off. This creates an eerie and intriguing experience for visitors. |

| • |
Arrive Nubra and proceed for a visit to the white sand dunes at Hunder. These sand dunes are often referred to as "cold deserts" because they are situated at high altitudes in a rain-shadow region, receiving very little rainfall. One of the unique features of the Nubra Valley sand dunes is the presence of Bactrian camels. Visitors can take camel rides (on your own) and enjoy a leisurely stroll amidst the dunes while riding these gentle giants. |
