                                             TREKKING

The trekking options range from short, day-long walks up and down mountain slopes to visit monuments or monastic settlements (or across a ridge to enjoy the sheer beauty of the lunar landscape), or long, trans-mountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. For example, the trek from Lamayuru in the Indus Valley to Darcha in Lahoul, across Zanskar Valley, takes nearly three weeks and crosses 2 major mountain ranges. Most of the established routes traverse the Zanskar range, which separates the Indus Valley from Zanskar. The 10-day Markha Valley trek, the 11-day Lamayuru-Padum traverse and the 4/5-day Stok-Khangri round trek are the more popular ones. In recent years, parts of the Ladakh range, which lies between the Indus and Shayok valleys, have also become available for trekking.

Most of the treks start from early June to mid-October. But short, localised treks within the central Indus valley can be undertaken even in April. On the other hand, some routes are suitable only for late autumn as during the summer the tracks are submerged due to the excessive flow of water, as is in the case of the Hemis-Markha-Padum trek. The winter access to Zanskar is actually along the frozen surface of the Zanskar River called Chaddar route. This route, though difficult and highly demanding in terms of arrangements, is perhaps one of the most exciting and memorable foot journeys in the world. The only route you can do any month of the year is Sham trek, in winter you can stay in Ladakhi house instead of tent.We have many virgin routes in remote areas which have still not been done by any tourists.
