Trekking in Ladakh
Ladakh offers great
scope for undertaking adventure activities amidst breathtaking landscape &
rugged beauty.
Ladakh has been a great attraction for the past few decades for the trekkers
from around the world. There are many areas to trek around Ladakh like
Nomadic area of (Rupshu & Kharnak), Zangskar, Nubra Valley, Kargil, and Leh
itself. We cannot express it in words how wonderful place Ladakh is for
trekking. It’s our endeavour to offer you some of the best trekking locals
in Ladakh taking to isolated villages or monastic settlements, or across a
ridge to enjoy the sheer beauty of the lunar mountainscape.
Trekking in Ladakh offers wonderful opportunity for direct interaction with
unique cultures and the natural world. The first westerner in this region
was a Portuguese traveler Diogo d’Almeida, who crossed the high passes in
1600.
LADAKH is the highest, most remote and least populated region in the whole
country. It has become a popular destination for aficionados of wild
mountains and unique culture.
The environment in LADAKH is fragile as the survival of the inhabitants
depends upon the land, despite its apparent starkness. As such, it’s our
endeavour to keep our trekking locals clean and pollution free and request
same to the trekkers. Every one should ensure that no garbage is left
undisposed at camp site. Plastic containers and polythene wrappers must be
incinerated or brought back, while other types of garbage should be properly
buried.
THE CLASSIC MARKHA

Leh & the Indus Valley, some monastery tours.
The Markha Valley villages & gompas
Traditional Ladakhi life style, Culture
Snow caped mountains, incredible Himalayan scenery
Beautiful campsites in villages & remote locations
MARKHA valley, the classic trekking route takes you through some of the most
beautiful villages, were you can explore the traditional life style of
LADAKH, the crumbling forts and the Buddhist gompas scattered throughout.
The meandering Markha River is our guide; we follow it through groves of
apricot, willow, popular & Himalayan oak trees and gaze up at the
cathedral-like structures perched on the cliffs which tower above us. Along
the way, we are likely to spot wildlife such as deer, blue sheep and ibex
serenely grazing in the valley. Monasteries hold 'pujas' or prayer
ceremonies in the mornings and evenings, prayer flags are strung up on high
peaks, monks wander the trails and villagers bring offerings to the Gompas………………..

region. It comprises two narrow valleys. The Stod Valley in the north-west
and the Tsarap Valley in the south-east, which converge at Padum, the
administrative center of the region and leads you to the Himalayan ranges of
Kashmir, from the rugged ranges to the beautiful green mountains.

traditional villages add a sense of the otherworldly to our journey through
Ladakh & Zanskar.

The people of Ladakh have lived for centuries in barren, inhospitable
terrain. But the Ladakh for tourists and the Ladakh for trekkers and
climbers are two different worlds. Many people stay at Leh, visit
monasteries and enjoy the barrenness. But if you can manage some treks,
there is nothing quite like Tsomoriri. Heading southeast, we cross remote
mountain passes to reach the 4500 meter Changtang plateau and Lake’s Tsokar
& Tso Moriri, where the Tibetan nomads of Rupshu Kharnak live, as they have
throughout history. This region is famed for its good grazing, and the
nomadic population has traditionally transmigrated from the high plains of
Tibet in search of nutritious grass for their livestock, salt to trade, and
a market for their butter and wool.
The high-altitude brakish lakes of Tso Moriri and Tso Kar, backed by high
snow-peaks, are stunning, and we camp along the meandering rivers that feed
into the lakes.
Being a high altitude trek of an average of always above 4000 mts., one
should be highly acclimatized and physically fit. The true beauty of the
region lies in its vast untamed space, wildlife & nomadic inhabitants.

 Kharnak is a remote region situated between Indus Valley and Zangskar, on
the western edge of Rupshu. The area is sparsely inhabited by semi-nomadic
peoples. Their simple winter villages and summer encampments are the only
signs of civilization you’ll see on this demanding high altitude trek.
The journey begins in the green Markha Valley, a bit lower in elevation,
where we have plenty of time to explore the traditionally Ladakhi villages,
the crumbling forts and the Buddhist gompas scattered throughout.
When the trek enters Kharnak after crossing Zalungkarpo-la pass 5050mts. the
trek gets tough as you are always above 4000mts. Changtang plateau and Lake
Tso Moriri, where the Tibetan nomads of Kharnak live as they have throughout
history. This region is famed for its good grazing, and the nomadic
population has traditionally transmigrated from the high plains of Tibet in
search of nutritious grass for their livestock, salt to trade, and a market
for their butter and wool.
The high-altitude brakish lakes of Tso Moriri and Tso Kar, backed by high
snow-peaks, are stunning, and we camp along the meandering rivers that feed
into the lakes.................

CHADDAR TREK IN WINTER
 Duration :
23 Days
Trekking Days: 15 Days.
Best period: Mid Jan. - Mid February
Chaddar "Frozen Blanket" is the only way in and out for Zanskaris in winter
times, because the road is closed due to heavy snowfall at high passes. It
has been the traditional trade route in winter for centuries. The trek takes
you into gorges and temperatures below (-) 25-degree centigrade, and staying
overnight in caves and walking on frozen river. This itself is an ultimate
experience for adventure lovers
