Spituk – Matho Trek Tour

Package Overview

Winding deep through the interiors of Hemis National Park, the Spituk-Matho trek is a doorway to exotic wildlife species like the Himalayan marmot, wild mouse, blue sheep, and the elusive snow leopard. A fairly easy trek, the trail cuts past a handful of Ladakhi villages that portray the simple lifestyle of the natives. Rising up on one side, the lofty Stok Kangri peak plays witness to the trek, while a sprawling canvas of the snowy massifs adorn the backdrop as you climb up to the passes of Stok la and Matho La. The trail also snakes through the beautiful Rumbak valley, which is known almost exclusively to harbor snow leopards. National Geographic made an award winning documentary in the Rumbak valley on Snow Leopards
