The Leh Ladakh Trek is a challenging trek in the Ladakh region of India. The trek takes you to some of the most remote and beautiful parts of the region, including the Nubra Valley, the Zanskar Valley, and the Pangong Lake.
The trek is 10-12 days long and covers a distance of about 150 kilometers. It starts from Leh, the capital of Ladakh, and ascends to the Nubra Valley via the Khardung La pass, the highest motorable road in the world. From the Nubra Valley, the trek continues to the Zanskar Valley and the Pangong Lake.
The trek is moderately difficult and requires a good level of fitness. Along the way, you will pass through beautiful deserts, snow-capped mountains, and ancient Buddhist monasteries. You will also get the chance to see a variety of wildlife, including snow leopards, ibex, and marmots.
The highlight of the trek is the view of the Pangong Lake. The lake is a stunning turquoise color and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. It is an experience that you will never forget.
