The Markha Valley trek stands as one of India's premier trekking experiences, delivering unparalleled vistas of the majestic Indian Himalayan range, visits to enchanting monasteries, and an immersive exploration of the stunning Markha Valley itself, rich with diverse cultures.
Starting with a vital acclimatization period in Leh to adapt to high altitudes, you embark on an exhilarating journey through central Ladakh Valley. The trek entails traversing three challenging passes: Stok La (4848m), Kagmaru La (5274m), and Gandla (4878m), all while tracing the meandering course of the Markha River.
The pinnacle of this adventure is the unforgettable stay at a tented camp nestled at the base of Kang-Yutze peak, situated on the expansive plains of Nimaling. For those seeking the optimal experience, both the autumn and spring seasons offer the perfect conditions for trekking in the Markha Valley.
