The
Ladakh trek promises to be a rare experience, even for the most seasoned
trekkers. The trekker in the process, also, gets an exposure to the
intriguing socio - cultural life of the people living in the local area.
Trekking possibilities include short, day-long walks up and down
mountain slopes to visit isolated villages or monastic settlements, or
across a ridge to enjoy the sheer beauty of the lunar mountainscape. Or
long, transmountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the
wilderness. For example, the trek from Lamayuru in the Indus valley to
Darcha in Lahoul across Zanskar takes nearly three weeks.
Most
of the established routes traverse the Zanskar range which separates the
Indus Valley from Zanskar. The 10- day Markah valley trek, the 11- day
Lamayrur-Padum traverse and the stock-Khangri round trek are the more
popular ones among the numerous options available in this convoluted
mountain mass. In recent years, parts of the Ladakh range between the
Indus and Shayok valleys have also become available fro trekking.
The
traditional trekking season extends from early June to mid-October. But
localised treks within the Indus Valley can undertaken even in May. On the
other hand, some routes are suitable only for late autumn as during the
summer, the bed of narrow valleys through which the tracks lie become
turbulent streams, as in the case of the 13-day Hemis-Markha-Padum trek.
The winter access to the Zanskar Valley
is actually along the frozen surface of the Zanskar river. This route,
known as Chaddar, calls for elaborate arrangements, but it is perhaps
the most exciting trek in the world.
