Markha Valley Trek

Leh · Ladakh

The classic Ladakh trek — a complete immersion into the stark, beautiful high-altitude desert landscape with whitewashed villages, ancient monasteries, and two high passes. The Markha Valley connects Hemis National Park to the Indus Valley, crossing Kongmaru La at 5150m. You walk through a landscape that feels prehistoric — craggy peaks, turquoise streams, and Buddhist prayer flags at every turn.

⚠ Two passes above 5000m — serious AMS risk. Acclimatize in Leh 3-4 days

Stok Kangri Trek

Leh · Ladakh

India's most popular 6000er and the highest trekkable peak in the country without mountaineering certification. At 6153m, Stok Kangri is a serious high-altitude endeavor — the summit push involves glacier travel, steep snow slopes, and extreme cold. The reward is standing on top of a 6000m peak with views stretching from the Karakoram to the Zanskar range. Not for the faint-hearted.

⚠ Extreme altitude — AMS, HACE, HAPE are real risks. Acclimatize 3-4 days in Leh first
