Package Overview

A classic trek crossing high passes, fertile valleys and visiting remote villages. Ladakh remains one of the best places to experience the unique culture of the Higher Himalaya.

From the highest pass, the kongmaru La (5240m) we enjoy incredible views extending as far as Tibet and offers spectacular views of the Kang Yatze peaks , before descending to Hemis, Ladakh’s largest and most famous monastery. Cross wild, barren mountain passes and trek through spectacular gorges . Drive to Spituk then drive to Zingchen and start trekking to Yurutse, staying in homestay gives an excellent opportunity to discover the everyday life of the villagers and their unique Buddhist culture.
