THE MARKHA VALLEY

The beautiful Markha Valley runs parallel with the Indus on the far southern side ofthe snowy Stok-Kangri massif, visible from Leh. Passing through cultivated valleyfloors, undulating high-altitude grassland and snow-prone passes, the winding trail along it enables trekkers to experience life in a roadless region without having to hikefor weeks into the wilderness – as a result, it has become the most frequented of Ladakh trekking routes. Snow flurries sweep across the higher reaches of the Markha Valley even in August.

PADUM TO LAMAYURU

The trek across the rugged Zanskar Range from Padum to Lamayuru on theSrinagar–Leh highway, usually completed in ten to twelve days, is a hugely popularbut very demanding long-distance way.Padam has numerous directions and is one of the most visited places in Ladakh. The place abounds hugely in the number of Ladakh trekking routes.

LAMAYURU TO ALCHI

Albeit short by Ladakhi standards, the five-day trek from Lamayuru to Alchi is oneof the toughest in the region, winding across high passes and a tangle of isolatedvalleys past a couple of ancient Gompas, and offering superb panoramic views of the wilderness south of the Indus Valley. It’s very hard to follow in places, so don’tattempt it without an experienced guide, ponies and enough provisions to tide you over if you lose your way. It is one of the most difficult among all the Ladakh trekking directions.

LIKKIR TO TEMISGANG

A memorable road along the old caravan route through the hills between Likkir and Temisgang makes a leisurely two-day hike, which takes in three major monasteries (Likkir, Rhizong and Temisgang) and a string of idyllic villages. It’s a great introduction to trekking in Ladakh, the perfect acclimatizer if you plan to attempt any longer and more demanding routes.
