Day 01: Arrive in Leh
Arrive at Leh airport by morning flight from Delhi.
This flight is one of the most sensational flights in the world. On a clear day
from one side of the aircraft can be seen in the distance the peaks of K2,
Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum and on the other side of the aircraft, so close that
you feel you could reach out and touch it, is the Nun Kun massif. Upon arrival
you will be transferred to your hotel. You would take a little time to settle
in and acclimatize since you have gone from a relatively low elevation in New
Delhi to over 11,000 feet! During the afternoon, you can walk through the old
town, beneath the Leh Palace, to allow you to get oriented to this fascinating
city. Overnight in a hotel.
