TREK PROFILE:
After your arrival in the nation's capital city, Delhi,
you
will be transferred to a hotel and next morning we will
take an early flight to the Ladakhi township of Leh,
crossing over the great Himalayas. After over a day
of acclimatization in Leh, we explore the local attractions
and the magnificent monasteries.
[From Leh, we drive about
70kms on the Leh - Manali road to Rumtse, the starting
point of our trek. Rupshu Valley lies sandwiched between
Ladakh in the north, Tibet in the east and Zanskar in
the west. It is a part of the Changthang plateau and
is characterized by high arid plains, remote villages,
snow-capped peaks and beautiful high altitude azure-blue
lakes, the largest being Tso Moriri at 4,500 m.
Truly remote, this area
is only accessible for a few months every summer and
is inhabited by Changpas - nomadic yak and pashmina
goat herders of Tibetan origin, who wander this area
crossing over high altitude mountain passes.
Our trek will take us
across these passes to their summer settlements to witness
a unique human culture, far away from the reaches of
the modern world. The scenery is wild and vast with
snow-capped peaks lining the far horizon and the area
is also home to some rare wildlife like Kyang, Blue
sheep, Ibex and the famous Himalayan snow leopard.
The final leg of our trek
leads us over a high mountain pass to the shores of
beautiful Tso Moriri Lake. Surrounded by over 6,000m
high snowcapped peaks, this lake is alive with an abundance
of very rare migratory birds. The trek ends at the enchanting
Tso Moriri and from here we transfer to Leh to return
to Delhi. Back in the country's capital city we have
an option of visiting the famous Taj Mahal in Agra or
spending the day for individual exploration / relaxing.
