The balanced first circuit

Six nights adds a Sham Valley day that the 5N plan cannot hold: Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill, the Indus–Zanskar confluence, Alchi and Basgo — all from a Leh base — before you cross Khardung La. Two full Leh nights still sit before the pass.

Nubra to Pangong uses the Shyok road. Return is Chang La. Same altitude rule: no high pass on day one.
