TREKKING

Trekking in Ladakh is an immersion into one of the world’s most dramatic high-altitude landscapes—where ancient trans-Himalayan trade routes, windswept plateaus, glacier-carved valleys, and deeply spiritual Buddhist cultures converge. Every trail in Ladakh tells a story, but four iconic routes showcase the region’s unmatched diversity in terrain, culture, and altitude. The Rumtse to Tso Moriri trek, a seven-day traverse across the Changthang plateau, leads trekkers through vast grazing meadows, six high passes above 5,000 metres, and the twin lake basins of Tso Kar and Tso Moriri. The trail brings you face-to-face with Changpa nomads and their pashmina-bearing herds, offering an exceptional yet demanding journey across one of the world’s highest inhabited regions. Equally captivating is the Sko Valley Trek, an extraordinary high-altitude route shaped by ancient nomadic movements from the villages of Phobrang, Yourgo, and Lukung Lalok. This trail is steeped in mythology, passing six sacred lakes linked to King Kesar’s epic tales and leading to the remote Ororotse Pass at 5,600 metres. For wildlife enthusiasts and cultural explorers, the Shang to Rumbak Trek in Hemis National Park offers a moderate to challenging experience over three major passes—Shang La, Matho La, and Stok La—while presenting opportunities to spot bharal, golden eagles, and even the elusive snow leopard. Completing the quartet is the legendary Markha Valley Trek, one of Ladakh’s most beloved routes, famed for its vibrant villages, ancient gompas, and panoramic views of Kang Yatse and the Zanskar range. Its crossing of Kongmaru La (5,260m) is a highlight, revealing sweeping alpine vistas. Together, these four treks capture the spirit of Ladakh: remote, unspoiled, culturally rich, and endlessly awe-inspiring—inviting trekkers to explore more trails that weave through this timeless mountain realm.
