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

Snow Leopard Trek

Leh · Ladakh

A winter wildlife expedition in the remote Hemis National Park — the best place on Earth to spot the elusive snow leopard. This is not a typical trek but a wildlife tracking expedition through frozen valleys at -20C, following pugmarks in snow with expert trackers. Sightings are never guaranteed (success rate ~70% over 8 days) but the experience of tracking one of the world's rarest cats in its frozen kingdom is unmatched.

⚠ Extreme winter cold — temperatures drop to -25C at night

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

Nun Kun Expedition

Zanskar Valley · Ladakh

The twin peaks of Nun (7135m) and Kun (7077m) are the highest mountains in the Ladakh/Zanskar region and among the most sought-after 7000m peaks globally. This is a full mountaineering expedition — not a trek — requiring technical ice and rock climbing skills, fixed rope work, and weeks of preparation. Nun is the primary objective with Kun as an alternative. Success rate is around 30%. This is for serious mountaineers with 6000m+ experience.

⚠ This is a MOUNTAINEERING EXPEDITION — not a trek
