Trekking in Ladakh

Ladakh is located north of India, bordering Tibet, Kashmir and Karakoram. Known as "Little Tibet", this area of the Himalayas contains not only the rugged beauty of Tibet's landscape, but also a glimpse of its rich cultural and religious heritage. Trekking in Ladakh takes you through high mountain passes, up to roaring river gorges, among Buddhist monasteries and elusive snow leopards. This guide provides detailed descriptions of eight treks in different regions of Ladakh and Zanskar, ranging from moderate to high difficulty, with information on accommodation and access. Ladakh receives few visitors, but welcomes adventurous trekkers seeking contact with a pristine mountain.
