A trans-Himalayan world of ochre canyons, turquoise lakes and 6,000 m peaks — the highest, starkest and most otherworldly trekking in India.
Beyond the main Himalayan range lies Ladakh, a cold desert of staggering scale on the edge of the Tibetan plateau. Here you trek between ancient gompas and prayer-flag passes, climb accessible 6,000 m peaks like Stok Kangri and Kang Yatse, or walk the frozen Zanskar in deep winter. Everything starts from Leh, and the short summer season runs June to September.
Ladakh offers two extremes: in summer, the Markha Valley and its trekking peaks draw climbers into the high desert; in the depths of winter, the Chadar trek follows the frozen Zanskar river over sheet ice — one of the most extraordinary walks on earth.
