Raw Changthang, as the name suggests, takes you to some of the most remote regions of Ladakh. The exploration takes you to Nubra Valley and Changthang- the land of nomads. Changthang is a high-altitude plateau situated at an elevation of around 14,000 feet above sea level and is known for its rugged, remote landscape, which includes mountains, glaciers, and lakes. The journey is a raw experience that would allow you to immerse in a lifestyle you have never experienced before as you visit Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, the quaint village of Hanle, and the formidable Umling La. It is believed that hundreds of years ago, residents of the town of Leh would make the rigorous journey to Changthang on foot to fetch salt.
