MARKHA VALLEY TREK

A feast of scenic and ethnic diversity, the Markha Valley Trek is one of the Ladakh's classic treks, a rugged high-altitude hiking on Stok range. Begin the Trek at the famous trailhead at Hemis Monastery. Along the way we pass prayer flags rippling silently in the fresh wind, and walk into small green valleys, greeted by cheery herders. We cross three passes including Kongmaru La (5150 Mts.), higher than two others' to reach the Markha valley south of Leh. Many named & un-named peaks in the altitude range of 5500m to 6400m makes the great amphitheater. We start our trek at Martselang & end our trek at the village of Stok.
