In the remote north-western corner of India, the Himalayan region of Ladakh is a truly inspirational destination for
a trekking holiday. Following a beautiful high valley, this superb trek leads through a spectacular mountain world,
coloured by green irrigated fields and the red of the monks' robes at the villages and monasteries en route.
After acclimatising and sightseeing at the monasteries around the ancient regional capital of Leh and taking a jeep
ride up to the Khardung La, we set off on our trek into the Markha Valley. Crossing the Ganda La to reach Skiu in
the Markha Valley, we enter a region where the way of life has changed little for centuries. Gradually gaining height
on a riverside trail, our highest camp is at 4860 metres on the Nimaling Plain, in the realm of the snow leopard and
impressive lammergeier or bearded vulture. Returning to the Indus Valley via the Kongmaru La (5290m), we have
excellent views of nearby Kang Yatze (6400m) and northwards to the peaks of the Tibetan border. This popular
holiday offers a real taste of the magical landscapes of Ladakh.
