Overview
Does your heart always crave adventure, and do the rugged terrains of Ladakh give you goosebumps? If that’s true, your best travel tribe is waiting for you at JustWravel! Join us for the ultimate Ladakh Bike and Backpacking Trip – Leh-Umling-La-Srinagar Backpacking Adventure.
This Leh to Srinagar backpacking trip is a spectacular journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas. Spanning nine days, it takes you across some of the most iconic and hidden gems of Ladakh and Kashmir, offering a blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and serene vistas that are sure to leave you awestruck.
The adventure begins in Leh, the heart of Ladakh, where you'll acclimatize to the high altitude while soaking in the vibrant culture and picturesque surroundings. The serene atmosphere sets the tone for the journey ahead. On the second day, the trip kicks into high gear as you traverse the Khardung La Pass, one of the highest motorable roads in the world, to reach the enchanting Nubra Valley. With its golden Hunder Sand Dunes, double-humped Bactrian camels, and mesmerizing mountain views, Nubra offers a mix of thrill and tranquility. The journey then takes you to the iconic Pangong Lake, a stunning high-altitude waterbody famous for its shifting shades of blue and Bollywood appearances in movies like 3 Idiots. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore the lakeside, capture surreal views, and experience stargazing under the vast Ladakhi night sky. Next, the road less traveled leads to Hanle, a hidden gem nestled in the remote Changthang Valley. Known for its pristine beauty and India's first astronomical observatory, Hanle is a haven for astrophotography enthusiasts. The following day, prepare for a thrilling excursion to Umling La, the world’s highest motorable pass perched at an altitude of 19,024 ft. The ride is an unforgettable experience, with stunning, rugged landscapes and a sense of achievement as you reach the top.
On your return journey to Leh, you’ll pass through charming villages like Chushul and Loma, offering a glimpse of Ladakh’s untamed beauty. Stops at Shey Palace and Thiksey Monastery provide cultural insight into Ladakhi heritage and traditions. From Leh, the journey continues to Kargil, where you'll visit historical landmarks such as the Hall of Fame, Magnetic Hill, and Sangam—the confluence of the Zanskar and Indus rivers. The spiritual vibe of Lamayuru Monastery and the stunning mountain passes like Fotula and Namika La make this leg of the journey truly memorable. As the trip transitions into the Kashmir Valley, you’ll pass through Dras, one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth, and pay your respects at the Kargil War Memorial, a poignant reminder of India’s brave soldiers. The route through the iconic Zojila Pass brings you into the verdant landscapes of Kashmir, leading to Srinagar. The journey concludes with a stay on traditional houseboats, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the serene Dal Lake, where you can enjoy Shikara rides and take in the beauty of the valley. This trip is more than just a journey; it’s an experience of a lifetime. From the rugged terrains of Ladakh to the lush meadows of Kashmir, every day brings new adventures and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline, seeking serenity, or immersing yourself in rich culture, this Leh to Srinagar backpacking tour promises it all.

FAQs
What are the packing tips for a Ladakh Tour?
Warm clothing is essential, as Ladakh has a cold desert climate. Pack layers like jackets, sweaters, woolen socks, and thermal wear to stay comfortable in the chilly temperatures. Bring sun protection gear such as sunglasses, sunscreen, and lip balm, as the high altitude and intense sun can damage skin. Include a basic medical kit with medicines for altitude sickness, headaches, stomach issues, and other common ailments. Pack necessary documents like ID cards, permits, and travel insurance, as well as chargers, power banks, and extra camera memory cards.

A trip of a lifetime❤️!!
This was my first group trip and road trip to Spiti valley which was excellent. All strangers become close friends by the end of the trip and all of us feel like going on another trip with the same group. The stay was very comfortable and clean, beautiful peaceful locations with perfect mountains and sunrise view. All the sight seeing and activities like trekking, hiking were really good.
Special thanks to Captain Divya❤️. She gave her best efforts in the entire journey to make it more enjoyable and memorable. We really had a good time with you. Such a kind and humble captain we had with Great responsibility. The best captain I can say.
Overall I would say I would come again on another trip with Justwravel. Thankyou to the entire team specially Divya and Nishant. Thanks for lots of good memories @justwravel.

I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing.
Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek
He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well.
I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel.
I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.

Thank you JustWravel for giving me one of my best �first group-trip� experience - All-Girls Spiti Valley trip! I was a bit nervous before the trip began, but within no time, I realised that this was the best decision I took for myself. Saurav was a really friendly and easy-going trip leader and Mani Bhai was the sweetest local guide ever, who drove us around and also developed such a lovely bond with us. Both of them took great care of the group. Felt like family! ?? Lovely stay and food arrangements - never faced an issue even once. Most memorable trip! Thankyou!
