The tour package of Ladakh by Kings of Himalaya was one of the best tour I experienced. It covered Leh Local tour where the Sangam point was enchanting. Then Nu (Read More)bra Valley, Hundar sand dune and Pangong Tsu Lake. The Kardungla pass point on the way to Nubra Valley from Leh and Chanlga on the way back to Leh from Pangong was a very diffrent and unique experience for me.
