Markha Valley Trek and Beyond | Indian Himalaya
The Indian Himalaya offers trekkers seeking trails away from the crowds extraordinary walking opportunities, particularly the Markha Valley. This is the finest introduction to trekking in Ladakh. In essence, we follow established trails linking whitewashed settlements and tiny monasteries to the vast grazing pastures of Rupshu.
Rupshu is the home of the Khampa, the original mountain nomads and is perfect for those looking for an unusual and remote trek. This is a stunning trek that explores the Ladakh heartland, where the flutter of prayer flags and the ancient mani walls reflect the deep seated Buddhist heritage and where views of the Zanskar Range stretch to the borderlands of the Tibetan Plateau.
