| Trek Summary |
The tour starts from Delhi where you will be met at the airport and transferred to hotel. Next day we will take the morning flight to Leh crossing over the great Himalayas. After acclimatization in Leh, we will explore this enchanting town and the magnificent local monasteries.
From Leh, we drive about 70kms on the Leh-Manali road to Rumtse in the Rupshu valley, the starting point of our trek. Rupshu Valley lies sandwiched between Ladakh in the north, Tibet in the east and Zanaskar in the west. It is a part of the Changthang plateau and is characterized by high arid plains, remote villages, snow-capped peaks and high altitude azure-blue lakes, the largest being Tso-Moriri at 4,500M.
Truly remote, this area is accessible only for a few months every summer and is inhabited by Changpas - nomadic yak and pashmina goat herders of Tibetan origin, who wander this area crossing over high altitude mountain passes. Our trek will take us across these passes to their summer settlements and we'll witness quite a unique and ancient culture, far away from the reaches of the modern world. The scenery is breathtaking and vast with snow capped peaks lining the far horizon. This area is also home to some rare wildlife like Kyang, Blue sheep, Ibex and the Himalayan snow leopard.
The final leg of our trek takes us over a high mountain pass to the shores of beautiful Tso-Moriri Lake. Surrounded by over 6,000M high snowcapped peaks, the lake is alive with an abundance of very rare migratory birds.
We finish our trek at the lake and transfer back to Leh. From Leh, we take our flight back to Delhi where we have an option of visiting the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra or spend the day in India's capital city for individual exploration / relaxing. |
