Ladakh Packages


For all those adventurous spirits Ladakh has loads to offer.
Situated in the greater Himalayas, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in North India,
Ladakh has become one of the most popular summer holiday destinations in India.
Ladakh packages which include riding across high altitude mountain passes,

you must feel the taste of Ladakh by booking the 4 nights and 5 days Ladakh package
we offer at Hotel Nalanda Ladakh. The overall idea is not to rush into anything while

your hotel rooms for a full day of recovery and high altitude acclimatization.
Then enjoy a leisurely breakfast and slide on to your tourist shoes, as we take
you to a visit to the Shey Palace, Thiksey Monastery & Stok Palace Museum.
