Tour Itinerary:

Starting point in New Delhi, India. Join us for this challenging and inspirational trek though "little Tibet", the Ladakh region of India. The trek consists of remote, rugged hiking over two major passes on the high–altitude plateau north of the Himalayan range. It is appropriate for experienced hikers in good health. Be prepared for "roughing it" as conditions are as variable as the topography. Remote alpine hiking on this high–altitude wonderland north of the Himalaya reaches an altitude of 16,730 feet.

This moderate trek offers an unforgettable opportunity to enjoy unspoiled Tibetan culture against the backdrop of magnificent scenery. Ponies carry our gear and our staff prepares savory meals. There will be time to relax and sightsee in Leh before and after the trek. This isolated area has only been open to outsiders for about twenty years and is infrequently visited due to its location near the border between India, and Tibet. Although careful to retain their cultural heritage, the Ladakhi people are open and friendly to visitors.

After our orientation in New Delhi and Leh we spend nine days on the trail exploring the stark beauty of Markha Valley. On our return to Delhi, we'll also enjoy a relaxing train trip to Agra and a tour of the famous Taj Mahal before returning to Delhi to complete the program. There are many custom options available if you would like to add extra days and tours at the start or end of this trip. Ask us about the options to extend your visit!
