Adventure Travel in Ladakh is mostly restricted to the summer months. Apart from the Chadar trek, most other trails are hardly explored during the winter. The Sham trek is a great opportunity to witness the wonderful snow dusted landscapes of Ladakh and also experience the life of the locals in harsh winters. The trip takes you to centuries-old monasteries along the trek through beautiful villages. The trek offers a lot in a limited period and is perfect for beginners as it has a great mix of cultural interaction, homestays and the picturesque winter landscape.

What to expect

 

Any trip rated as a 'Beginner Trek' is an ideal first step into the world of trekking in the Himalaya. The trips are short - generally under a week - in moderate altitudes with gradual altitude gain. A typical day will involve 4-5hrs of hiking on mountainous trails with an odd day over 6hrs. Most beginner treks in the Indian Himalaya are camping trips where overnight accommodation will be in tents. You will be accompanied by our camping and kitchen staff throughout the trip. In Nepal, all our stay and accommodation on the trail will be in tea-houses.

This trek suits individuals looking for their maiden trek in the Himalayas or families which want to introduce their young ones to trekking.
