Markha Valley Trek

4 Days

Markha Valley Trek Camping

Of the many treks available in Ladakh, the Markha valley trek is a top pick. Wonderful towns can be found buried away in the valley’s depths, with soaring peaks as a backdrop for this hike. Very beautiful panoramas of the Kang Yatse peaks can be seen from the Kongmaru La pass. Homestays are available at various points along the trail, and they provide a wonderful opportunity to learn about local culture and customs. Markha is located in Hemis National Park, which is home to the elusive snow leopard.Of the many treks available in Ladakh, the Markha valley trek is a top pick.
