Took me a while to find something that didn't immediately look like a copy of every other Ladakh itinerary online. I was comparing mountain trips after a friend suggested postponing an overseas holiday and exploring somewhere closer instead. Most packages seemed rushed. When I looked at this itinerary, the travel days appeared more realistic. I checked the route around Leh and Pangong because long road journeys can completely change the experience. Compared this to booking separately and the cost difference wasn't huge. During that search, I came across an Affordable Ladakh Tour Package and decided to save the page because it answered several practical questions I already had.
