This challenging trek visits a remote region of Ladakh, high above the Indus valley, and provides the more energetic members a chance to ascend Kangri, a  6,114m. peak overlooking Leh. We approach from the west of Leh, climbing from the Indus towards the rugged Zanskar range, and the extremely stark region of high passes and wild mountain rivers: a harsh and beautiful mountain landscape softened by the immense charms of the Ladakh inhabitants. Crossing the Zanskar river we climb again towards the spectacular scenery of the stock range, where we attempt the ascent. Tough, but optional and non-technical, this provides some of the most outstanding views of the Indus valley and its surrounding ranges. Considering the interests of our repeat clients, we always provide Nepalese staff for our Ladakh trek. |
