This trekking guidebook gives detailed descriptions of eight
different treks across the Ladakh, Zanskar and Markha Valley in
northern India. Ranging from moderate difficulty to very demanding,
the treks vary between 6 to 12 days in length, each trek is broken
down into multiple stages, and has information on difficulty,
available accommodation and access, as well as the many
combinations and alternative routes open to exploration. Trek 1:
Kharnak, 148 km / 10 days. Starts in Kharu in the Indus Valley and
ends in Pang, on the Manali-Leh road. Trek 2: Tsarab Chu, 174km /
12 days. Starts in Pang and ends in Padum, Zanskar. Trek 3: Darcha
to Padum - the classic trek to Zanskar, 135km / 9 days. Starts in
Darcha and ends in Padum. Trek 4: Round Sultanlango, 112km / 6
days. Starts in Padum and ends in Stongde, Zanskar. Trek 5: Padum

circuit over five passes, 98km / 8 days. Starts in Alchi in the

Trek 8: Markha Valley, 113km / 9 days. Starts in Spituk, southwest
of Leh and ends in Hemis near the Indus Valley Known as Little
Tibet; for both its landscape and culture, Ladakh lies at the
northern tip of India. The region is bisected by the great River
Indus and neighbours Tibet and Kashmir. This quiet corner of the
Himalaya has developed a strong trekking culture over recent years
for adventurous trekkers. Trekking in this remote, high-altitude
region is extremely challenging, as paths are not signed and there
are only a limited number of villages. However, its magnificent
landscape (a huge area full of limitless trekking possibilities),
hospitable people, rich heritage and limited number of tourists
make Ladakh an amazing destination. The guide includes background
information on local culture, history and religion, as well as all
the planning detail you need on crucial aspects such as
environmental responsibility, health and safety in the mountains,
trekking practicalities and preparation for altitude.
