Trip costOne of the most classic and popular treks in Ladakh – its a perfect combination of beautiful trans-Himalayan landscapes dotted with Ladakhi villages. There are good chances to spot some high-altitude wildlife as well as experience the life of nomadic families as they herd their yaks in these big and beautiful valleys. After a couple of days of acclimatisation to the high altitude in Leh, you will set out to explore the heartland of the central Ladakh Valley. It involves crossing the high pass of Kongmaru La (5274 mts) and walking on the banks of the Markha River crossing it a few times. Kang Yatse peak (6400m) at the head of this valley dominates the skyline as we get higher up the valley and the view towards the Zanskar range from the Kongamaru La is simply mesmerizing.

What to expect
A trip graded as a Moderate Trek takes you to high altitude regions - above 3000m / 10,0000ft and will involve considerable altitude gain over the course of the trek. Altitude will have an effect, hence one would need to be careful about acclimatization. Moderate treks will have multiple days which involve considerable amount of ascents and descents and would require walking for more than 6 hours. There might be a day or two of camping in relatively high altitudes above 4000m / 13,000ft. A typical trek will last around a week to ten days depending on the region and is a good step-up for people who have completed a beginner trek.
Good fitness levels are needed to enjoy these trips. Some training up before the trip would help. Prior trekking experience is desirable.
