Himalaya trekking experience for experienced hikers

Go through one pass above 5000 meters, rare for Ladakh, which means land of high passes. There are many villages and campsites along the way, which makes it convenient for a camping trek. The only day of high-altitude trekking takes place when you go over Shingo La (5091 m). Therefore, it is better to start from the Ladakh side as it gives you ample time to acclimatize to the altitude.

The length of trekking from Padum to Darcha has been cut short by more than half by constructing of a road. However, this is still an incredible trek from the Zanskar region of Ladakh to Darcha in Himachal Pradesh, an ancient trading route. We will be hiking through stunning countryside with monumental Tibetan Buddhist monasteries en route.

We will cross several passes on this trekking expedition, visit far-flung villages, and witness animal husbandry in a remote and rural part of Ladakh. We will camp in beautiful settings near villages, open pastures, meadows next to pristine streams, etcetera.
