Trekking In Ladakh

Trekking in Ladakh, India is special because Ladakh is a land which can be described only in speculative expanse. Geographical, historical and human factors have endowded Ladakh, known earlier as Manyul - the land of men - with a unique character and place in the world and this is what gives trekkers on Ladakh treks a unique trekking experience.

While on these treks a trekker discerns hidden in this bewildering corridor of immensity, some green patches and some clusters of life adding earthy flavor to the trekking experience. On the Ladakh treks one encounters young and powerful rivers, the Shayok, Siachen, Zanskar and Indus, which add contrast to the trekking experience harmoniously with the austere magnificence of landscapes in Ladakh, India.
