Trekking Regions Of Ladakh
Trekking options within Ladakh include short, daylong walks up
and down mountains to visit remote villages or monastic
settlements. The longer duration Trans-Himalayan treks involve
weeks of walking and camping in the wild and barren region of
Ladakh. Among the high altitude treks is the trek from
Lamayuru in the Indus valley to Darcha in Lahaul across
Zanskar that takes nearly three weeks to come to its
conclusion. Most of the established routes pass through the
Zanskar range, which separates the Indus valley from Zanskar.
The 10-day Lamayuru-Padum trek and the Stok-Khangri trek are the
more popular trek tours among the numerous options available in
this cold desert of Ladakh. In recent years, parts of the Ladakh
range between the Indus and Shayok valleys have also become
available for trekking.
Zanskar
A
totally untouched and least explored region of Ladakh is Zanskar,
which is easily catching up as a favourite destination for
trekkers. The trekking destination to check out in Zanskar is
Padum, the centre for hard but rewarding treks to Manali via the
Shingo-la, Kishtwar via the Umasi-la, and Lamayuru and Leh via
difficult routes through the Zanskar range.
Suru Valley
Next comes the lower altitude region of the Suru valley, offering
spectacular views of Nun-Kun and its attendant peaks. Trekking
expeditions to this valley mostly take off from Panikhar village,
which is also the base for long treks that takes the trekker in
the direction of Kashmir and Kishtwar. Other trekking bases from
Suru are the monastic settlements of Sanku, further down the
valley, and Rangdum. |

Kargil
Located in an ideal location within the centre of the Himalayan
region, Kargil is one destination of Ladakh with tremendous
potentials for adventure activities. Kargil serves as an important
base for adventure tours in the heart of Himalayas. It is also the
take off station for visitors to the heaven of exotic Himalayan
locales, Zanskar Valley. Tourists travelling between Srinagar and
Leh have to make a night halt at Kargil before starting off the
second leg of their trekking journey.
Ladakh Trekking Tips
 Special permits are required for visitors going to the Nubra
Valley, Pangong Tso and Rupshu. You have to submit two photographs
and photocopies of relevant pages of your passport for the permit.
The permits are usually valid for seven days and are issued to
groups of four or more travelling together. Several photocopies of
the permits should be made as they need to be produced at the
various checkpoints in the Ladakh region.
Although the days may be quite warm evenings tend to get chilly,
even in summer in places like Leh. So pack sufficient protective
clothing, including something to keep off the chilling winds,
which whoosh down the mountains; they're deathly cold. Make sure
to carry some Vitamin C and aspirin tablets for the high altitude
regions. The scorching sun in the day can result in sunburn, so
carry a protective lotion, hat and sunglasses. While trekking,
take along your own food and plenty of fluid, preferably in the
form of bottled water. The entire region of Ladakh - except for
parts of the Nubra Valley is very dry, and if you're not careful,
there's a risk of dehydration |
