Leh Stok
Leh Stok
The Markha valley Trek is certainly one of the most varied and beautiful treks in the world. It ventures high into the Himalayas crossing two passes over 15,000 ft. as it circles from edges of the Indus valley, down into parts of Zanskar and passes through terrain that change from incredibly narrow valleys to wide open vast expanses. It is made all the more interesting by the ancient form of Buddhism and flourishes in the many monasteries that dot the landscape perched high atop hills. As we trek to the upper end of the Markha Valley we are rewarded with spectacular views of jagged snow-capped peaks before cross the 16500 ft. Gongmarlu pass and descending to the famous Hemis monastery, where we end our trek. The trek has alternative route from Spituk also.
