Much of Ladakh is still only accessible by the century old
foot paths used by traders and villagers for hundreds of years. Exploring
these roadless regions on foot is a fascinating way to experience Ladakh.
With many trails passing by ancient monasteries, through fertile farming villages,
arid canyons, and glacier covered mountains, trekking in Ladakh is a fantastically
varied adventure. For all of our treks we will provide a knowledgeable guide
to enrich your trekking experience, food, camping facilities, pack animals, permits
when required, and transportation to and from Leh to the trek. Popular
trekking routes include: This
trek starts at Lamayuru site of one of the
most beautiful monasteries in Ladakh and crosses two passes of 4950 m and 4700
m offering fantastic views of the surrounding Zanskar Mountains en route to Chiling
a small village nestled along the Zanskar river gorge. From Chiling trekkers
can either head back to Leh by road or more excitingly raft back via the turbulent
Zanskar river.
Probably the most popular trek in Ladakh. Its popularity
comes for good reason as the diversity in geography along this relatively short
trek is hard to beat. From the colorful shear canyon walls of the lower
Markha Valley the trail ascends to the alpine grass lands of 4700 m Nimaling where
seasonal shepherds herd goats, sheep and yaks on the rolling grasslands surmounted
by snowy peaks. From Nimaling the trail climbs over the 5150 m Gongmaru
La before descending to the monastic town of Hemis. This trek can be started
in various places. The easiest approach is from near Chiling where the Markha
river joins the Zanskar. The closest access point to Leh is Spituk but requires
the crossing of 4870 m Kanda La to enter the Markha Valley. The toughest
but most rewarding approach is from the village of Stok crossing the 4800 m Stok
La in addition to the aforementioned Kanda La en route to the Markha Valley.
Accent
of Stok Kargri (4 days)
The demanding trek to the summit of 6153 m Stok Kangri offers
spectacular views stretching from Tibet in the east to the Karakoram in the northwest
and the Himalaya to the south.
In its entirety this trek goes from Lamayuru via Padam (the
capital of Zanskar) to Darcha on the Leh-Manali road. This demanding trek
crosses both the Zanskar Mountains and the Great Himalaya range passing through
the remote Zanskar Valley offering a vast range of cultural and geographic sights.
This trek crosses the rolling mountains of the high Rupshu
plateau inhabited by nomads. The barren region is home to numerous species
of wildlife including the wild Ass Kiang, Himalayan Marmot, Tibetan Antelope,
and Himalayan Ibex. The route crosses high passes and along side the great
saline lakes of Tso Kar, and Tso Moriri finishing in the village of Korzok.
