Day 05: Padam to (via Nerak/Lingshed) – Leh Transfer
This is the more adventurous of journeys if you ask me. There is a lot to see here, a lot to cover. The road is newly built and breathtaking, to say the least. This section of the journey is known as the “untraceable” road, and for good reason. Immediately after taking a right from Padum towards Zangla, lies a petrol pump about 4 KMs down. Zangla’s distance from Padum is about 40 KMs and the road is well made. Post that, you’ll be on some off-roading journey towards Nerak /Lingshed and up ahead. Signature views, synonymous with the Zanskar valley keep you company for the day.
