Trekking in Ladakh is a fantastic experience which should be on every enthusiastic trekker’s list. Besides
meeting warm and friendly people, Ladakh also offers a supreme cultural experience unlike other Indian
states. Ladakh trekking not only gives one the opportunity to admire nature at its finest, but also gives
trekkers an unparalleled view of the world’s most beautiful mountain range. We pick the four best Ladakh
treks which will get your adrenalin rushing:
Markha Valley Trek
Trekking in Ladakh doesn’t get any better than this! This trek takes you along the Markha River which
passes through ‘Little Tibet’ where you can see the famous Ladakh and Zanskar mountain ranges up
close. This is an ideal challenge for veterans as trekkers are required to cross the passes of Stok La,
Kongmaru and Gandla which are each at a height of more than 4500 meters. Willow trees, wild roses,
canyons, colorful prayer flags, small groups of nomads with their yaks and a gorgeous landscape are just
a few of the sights you will encounter. Camping at the base of the Kang-Yutze peak is also plenty of fun.
Nubra Valley Trek
The best time to go on this Ladakh trek is between June to September. A trek in the Nubra Valley or the
Valley of Flowers is not just challenging but will also rejuvenate you inside out. Nubra is also famously
called the main orchard of Ladakh and trekkers will see fruits in plenty. Summer is also the time when
lovely yellow and pink roses are in full bloom although the valley is also famed for its rich purple carpets
of lavender just before the monsoon sets in. Double humped camels, the monasteries of Deskit and
Samstanling as well as the pass of Khardung La can be seen on this trip.
Lamayuru Alchi Trek
This trek is ideal for those who are keen to try trekking in Ladakh but who also don’t have much time to
explore the region thoroughly. This short trek which does not take more than 5 days links two of the
oldest monasteries in the region. Trekkers will enjoy visiting the Gompas at Lamayuru which feature
various works in copper and silver as well as the many monastery at Alchi which have ancient wood
carvings and sculptures. One can see foreign influences in the frescoes here unlike other monastery
artwork.
