Besides the Royal Palace the town is a hive of trading activity and crowded with people in Ladakhi nation dress. Here too are many Tibetan refugees and a taxi ride to visit their enclave is well worth it.

Day 16: At Leisure in Delhi. This is a chance to sample heat, dust and frantic activity of an Indian City. You are free to "Do your own thing" or if you wish, you trek leader will take you on a tour of India's capital. It is an intriguing mixture of old bazaars, forts, mosques and mogul tombs, laced together by the spacious green avenues of Lutyen's imperial city. This day we intentionally keep as an "spare day" as due to weather conditions the Leh-Delhi flights do cancel time to time and connecting to the international flight is on risk. Overnight at hotel.
