Overview
An arid cold desert trekking area that offers the best views of Ladakh and Zanskar Ranges has admirers worldwide. It is also known as a tea-house trek, as it is filled with the local culture of Ladakh. Witness the 21000 feet Kang Yissay and 20086 feet Stok Kangri peaks also while embarking on this trek.
Hemis National Park and Gandala La and Kongmaru La are the promising attractions one gets while taking the Markha Valley trek route. Another factor that makes this trek amusing is the waist-deep river crossing which helps us to cross the Markha River to reach the trails to Buddhist villages and rock structures. Markha Valley is in very close proximity to Leh which makes it more accessible for trekkers
Highlights of trek:
1. Witness the Greenfields, willow trees, and quaint villages
2. Get amused with the unexplored beauty of Hemis National Park and also the highest passes Gandala La and Kongmaru La.
3. Capture the astounding views of Nimaling, surrounded by ponds and stream that will soothe your soul.
