The classic loop, then east to Hanle

Eight nights keeps Sham, two Nubra nights with Turtuk, Pangong via Shyok — and then leaves the lake for Hanle instead of returning straight to Leh. Hanle is a long, thin-air drive onto the Changthang. The night sky is the reason. It is not a first-week add-on unless the days are already here.

Day eight is a long return to Leh. Do not book a tight early flight on day nine if weather has already moved the clock.
