Markha Valley Trek Tour (Ladakh-Moderate Trek) (7270),Holiday Packages to New Delhi, Shey, Hemis, Leh Ladakh

Package Overview

Maximum altitude: 5030 m
Grade - Moderate
Best Time - June to Aug

Since 1974, when Ladakh first became accessible to foreign visitors, this high and arid region has captured the imagination of adventure travelers. This itinerary between Ladakh and Zanskar offers a large diversity of landscapes, from the jagged Kongmaru La pass (5000m) to the green oasis of the Markha valley with breath-taking views of the Korakoram snow-capped peaks. Many scattered high villages, each with irrigated fields of barley and potatoes, add color to this otherwise quite barren environment, and provide the chance to meet the Ladakhi peasants in the simplicity of their daily life. Markha will be an opportunity to visit the old monastery, famous for its paintings.
