Days 1-2 LehTake in Leh at a sedate pace - the altitude is quite extreme and with such a relaxed vibe, there is no need to rush.

Day 3 LikirGaze at the newly restored bodhisattvas and celestial beings at Basgo Palace en route to Likir. Walk to the 11th century Klu-kkhyil Gompa to see prayer rooms full of statues and a museum containing religious objects made from human bones. Days 4-6 Himalaya Village TrekTrek through tiny villages and over high passes with magical views of the surrounding Himalayan valleys. Spend the night in a local friend's house, discover traditional Ladakhi meals and visit a crumbling ruined fort. Day 7 LamayuruDrive to Lamayuru and discover the ancient legends among its bizarre moonscape of wind-ravaged towers and ravines. Visit the 10th century Lamayuru Gompa, the oldest in Ladakh, rising out of the high cliffs as though born of them. Days 8-10 LehSpend a full day of sightseeing at Shey Palace, Thiksey, Hemis Monastery and Stok Palace Museum, stopping for lunch along the way. Back in Leh, seek out a rooftop cafe to relax, enjoy the deep blue of the sky and celebrate an incredible journey.
