Duration 9 days
Best Time June to October
Highest Point Kongmaru La (5135m)
Physical Challenge Moderate
The Markha Valley Trek is certainly one of the most varied and beautiful treks in the world. It ventures high into the Himalayas crossing two passes over 15,000 ft. as it circles from the edges of the Indus Valley, down into parts of Zanskar, and passes through terrain that changes from incredibly narrow valleys to wide open vast expanses. It is made all the more interesting by the ancient form of Buddhism that flourishes in the many monasteries that dot the landscape perched high atop hills. As we trek to the upper end of the Markha Valley we are rewarded with spectacular views of jagged snow capped peaks before cross the 16500 ft. Gongmarlu Pass and descending to the famous Hemis monastery, where we end our trek. The trek has alternative route from Spituk also.
Trespassers on the Roof of the World.
Trekking into Ladakh’s Markha Valley
Duration : 18 to 21 Days. Delhi to Delhi
Season : June – July – August – September
Summary : The eight day trek through the Markha valley, preceded by the high altitude jeep journey, and both excellent ways to adventure in Ladakh.

Padum – Darcha Trek
Duration : 9 Days
Season : June till September
Level : Easy to Moderate
Location : Lugnal valley, Southeast of Zanzkar, to Lahaul in Himachal
Route : Padum-Shilla Camp-Reru-Changpa Tsetan-Purne-Phuktal-Purne-Kargyak-Shingo La Base-Ramjak-Pal Lhamo
Summary : PADUM TO DARCHA is a fairly easy first trek in the trans-Himalaya. The only difficult bit you’ll come across will be on the day you cross the Shingo La Pass (5050m). But it’s not a hard if you start the trek at Padum and have time to acclimatise. Trekking the other way around is harder, and also dangerours, because you start at 3300m and zoom up to 5050m in the first three days. The lovely route will take you towards Lungnak, the valley southeast of Zanskar, the historical trade route between Lahaul in Himachal and Zanskar.
SPITUK-STOK
Duration : 4-5 Days
Season : Mid June till late September
Level : Moderate
Location : Southwest of Leh
Route : Spituk-Zingchan-Rumbak-Stok La campsite-Stok
Summary : The trek traditionally starts at the bridges over the Indus about a kilometers west of Spituk village, but over the Indus about a kilometer west of Spituk village, but you can skip the two-hour, not-very-nice walk to Zinghan if you take the jeepable road that runs nearly all the way there. Have a taxi drop you to a point opposite Phey village. From this point onwards it is a charming walk along the descending road along the Indus. A little beyond Zingchan, you’ll find a sign welcoming you to Hemis NP. THe hardest segment of the trek lies between Rumbak and Stok La campsite, when you’ll climb the 4900m Stok Pass.
