    Itinerary

    Arrive in Leh on your own. You will be transferred to the hotel. Check in to the hotel and spend the whole day getting acclimated to the altitude of 11500 feet. Overnight stay will be at the hotel.

    Take the full day to explore the area. Around 10 miles from Leh, Shey was once the residence of the royal family and is famous for its high gilded statue of Buddha. The monastery has a two-floor statue of the sitting Buddha and the gompa, still partially used, is being restored. There is a small library and a collection of thankas, and some stupas and Mani walls nearby. The 12m gold plated Shakyamuni Buddha statue is the largest in the region, built by King Singge Namgyal’s son. Sight seeing tour of Leh. Spend the morning at leisure. In the afternoon you will take a sight seeing tour of Leh, the capital of the historic kingdom of Ladakh. The town is a fascinating labyrinth of winding streets and quaint bazaars. The main street is open and airy, lined with rows of shops. On either side of the market, long lines of Ladakhi women in traditional dress and colourful coral and turquoise jewellery can be seen seated behind enormous baskets, selling vegetables. The spectacular eight-floor Leh Palace looms above the town, dominating the landscape. Stroll through the town, followed by a visit to Sankar gompa, a little over a mile from the market. This gompa is a subsidiary of Spitok gompa, having the same head lama. Sankar is easily visited on foot from Leh, lying as it does in Lehs suburbs. About 25 lamas of the yellow-hat sect are attached to Sankar but only a few live here permanently. Trek Begins

    Drive to Latho, which lays 6kms across the bridge on Indus in Spituk. Commence the trek along the trail that zig-zags along the Indus river for 1 hour until the trail enters into the gorge coming from the south. Trek down to the confluence of the stream coming out of the rumbak gorge to where it joins the Indus. Here you will see the first signs of snow leopard scrapes and ancient etchings showing snow leopards hunting Ibex. Trek up another 3 kms to the little hamlet of Zingchen. Overnight in tents in Zingchen. Alt.10,600ft / 3,300mts.(relatively lower than Leh at 3500mts.)


    The trek up to Husing nallah takes you through a narrow gorge where you may spot your first blue sheep, which are the main source of prey for the elusive cats. You will also witness fresh signs of snow leopard rock scents along this trail. The camp is located around 50 minutes from Zingchen, surrounded by rugged broken slopes at a junction where two side valleys meet – a good place for sighting snow leopards! After lunch trek up Tarbung looking for snow leopard signs and possible sightings. Overnight in Husing/Tarbung junction at an altitude of 3700mts.

    Trek up to Rumbak Sumdo where the narrow gorge suddenly opens into a wide valley surrounded by high mountains including the mighty Stok Kangri at 6120mts. The Sumdo is where the three valleys meet with Rumbak hamlet to the east, Lungnak to south and the Kharlung towards the west. Trek further up to Rumbak, which is a small hamlet of 9 houses situated at an altitude of 4050m. Afternoon return to the Sumdo to look for cats in the opposite valley.

    In the morning trek up to Husing valley which is known for frequent snow leopard movements. Spend day looking for snow leopards and prey animals. Overnight stay will be in the camps.

    Trek up to Yurutse which lies at the base of Gandala pass to the West past Sumdo. This area serves as an ideal habitat for the Tibetan Argali/ Great Tibetan sheep and also known for sightings of Tibetan wolf (depending on cat movement). Overnight stay will be at a home stay in Rumbak.

    Today morning walk up to Husing / Tarbung. After lunch trek back to Zingchen via the same route and drive to Leh. Overnight stay will be at the hotel.

    This morning say goodbye to your trekking team and fly back to Delhi.




    Important Instructions

    For travelling to Leh, tourists do not require any permit. However, registration is needed for all foreigners and international tourists, especially those travelling by road. Registration can be done at Drass, Rumtse and Sarchu. Those travelling by air should get their registration done at the airport.

    Tourists are required to obtain a Protect Area Permit for visiting restricted areas including Tso Moriri, Tso Kar, Pangong Tso Lake, Dhahanu and Nubra Valley. One can obtain these permits through registered travel agencies. While travelling, it’s advisable to multiple copies of valid ID and permits as these are required to be submitted at the checking points.

    Altitude sickness or acute mountain sickness is common when you travel to Ladakh. It’s caused by exposure to lower percentage of oxygen at high latitudes. As a general rule, rest for a day or two after every climb of 2,000ft of climb above 8000ft. This will give your body plenty of time for acclimatization. You should avoid smoking and consuming alcohol. One should carry medicines for basic medical conditions like fever, stomach ache, headache and others.

    If you have plans to visit some interior areas like Turtuk, Panamik, Khaltse, Pangong, Changthang, Hunder, TsoKar and TsoMoriri etc. in Ladakh City even Indian residents need to obtain innerline permits.

    Overseas travelers (with the exception of residents of Burma, Bhutan, Nepal and Pakistan) need to obtain Protected Area Permit (PAP) to visit the above places. In case of foreigners, the permit is issued only for a group with four or more foreign tourists. For foreign tourists, it is also mandatory to go through a registered travel agent in order to obtain the Permit.

    Avoid using plastic bags: Both locals and tourists have a responsibility towards maintaining the environment hence, do not litter around the place. Plastics are officially banned in Ladakh and hence it is better to avoid using polythene bags

    Carry proper documents: Always carry all your travel documents, permits, licenses, identity cards etc. There are lots of passes like Changla Pass, Zojila Pass, Fatula Pass and Khardungla Pass where they have a huge military presence. Make sure to make copies of all the documents and IDs and keep them safely in your bag since you may never know when you will need them

    Bikers need to carry their proper documents during the trip, as they have to present their documents at the check posts while entering highland passes such as Zojila Pass, Changla Pass, Khardungla Pass and Fatula Pass. The documents should consist of a permit, driving license, vehicle registration and bike insurance documents.

    FAQ's

    Ladakh, large area of the northern and eastern Kashmir region is located in the northwestern Indian subcontinent. Ladakh covers about 45,000 square miles (117,000 square km) and contains the Ladakh Range, which is a southeastern extension of the Karakoram Range, and the upper Indus River valley. Ladakh is one of the highest regions of the world.

    Monasteries: Belonging to the Tibetan Sect of Buddhism, the red hat Buddhist monks have built some of the most pristine monasteries in this harsh landscape that enthral people from the world over.

    The confluence of Indus and Zanskar: Driving a few hours from Leh, you will find the point where the mighty Indus and Zanskar converge to flow into Pakistan as the Indus. Every season has the river in different hues and colours. The rivers run a deep emerald green and a bright blue that are contrasted against the stark brown mountain valleys through which they flow.

    The highest motorable passes in the world: Some of the highest motorable passes in the world like the Khardung-La and the Chang-La passes that connect the pristine valleys of Nubra and Changthang to Ladakh.

    Lakes of Tso Moriri and Pangong Tso: Visit Ladakh for spell binding views of surreal lakes at high altitudes.

    April-June: From April, tourists start to migrate to Ladakh, as the cold fades and snow starts to melt gradually. The temperature during this time is still quite cold, around 5°C-7°C. By the second week of May, the very important Srinagar-Leh highway is made available again, thus opening the floodgate for the flurry of tourists to go to Ladakh.

    September-October: Autumn in Ladakh is once again one of the best times to visit. Being washed by the rain over the monsoon season, the rugged surroundings turn to its freshest of colours. Moreover, the crowd from summer season thins out to quite an extent, which means Ladakh can be enjoyed bit more freely.

    January to March: The famous Chadar Trek is on for adventure lovers at this time. One part of the trek involves walking over the frozen Zanskar River.

    By Air: Leh Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport is the main airport of the area. This is the closest airport at Leh, which is all around associated with Delhi, Jammu, Srinagar, and a few different urban areas in India.
    By Road: If you are travelling from Srinagar then you will be covering a distance of 434 kms route via Srinagar – Sonmarg – Zozi La – Drass – Kargil – Mulbek – Lamayaru – Saspol – Leh. If you are taking the route of Manali to Leh then you will be covering a distance of 490km, while enjoying the beautiful vistas of the region like, Manali – Rohtang – Gramphu – Kokhsar – Keylong – Jispa – Darcha – Zingzingbar – Baralacha La – Bharatpur – Sarchu – Gata Loops – Nakee La – Lachulung La – Pang – Tanglang La – Gya – Upshi – Karu – Leh

    There are several Banks in the city of Leh now including SBI, PNB, Axis, HDFC and J&k Bank and they all have ATM facilities so it is almost impossible that you have difficulty getting cash in Leh like it happened in my case. However there are no ATMs in Nubra and towards Pangong and Tso Moriri so you will have to carry cash when you head towards these areas.

    The peak summer months from mid-June to September have a pleasant temperature and therefore single T-shirts or shirts can do. In winters (from November to February), one needs to carry heavy woolen clothes and warm jackets. However, in most parts of the Leh- Ladakh region, there is a drastic fluctuation in the daily temperature. Therefore, tourists should carry woolen clothes and sweaters while packing their bags for the trip.

    Many arts and crafts, handlooms and cloth materials which are handmade and high quality are available in Ladakh. You can buy variety of souvenirs from Leh. The stunning Ladakhi jewellery makes a gorgeous addition to your collection. You can also shop for the Pashmina Shawls and the traditional warm robe ‘goncha’, made with wool or cotton. You can also buy dried or freshly harvested apricots grown locally in Ladakh and its neighboring areas. You can also find organic apricot jam and oil while shopping in Leh Ladakh, to make the most of the luscious fruit!
