Leh, This Monsoon


Apart from the scenic splendour, pleasant weather and diversified international history, Leh also has to offer mind and body challenging activity such as trekking. The city takes advantage of its surrounding hills and mountains of rock and snow. Scaling a rocky or snowy sloping terrain has been challenging for body and mind in terms of stretching the limits of physical fitness (that too against gravity as opposed to flat terrain walking) and mental determination to continue the path when one hits a road block. You can avail of both structured and organized trekking trails as well as random ones from the city of Leh. Trekking trails from Leh can be as short as daylong or extend upto a few weeks depending on the routes and time you wish to invest in this activity.



Few of the longer, established and organized popular and strenuous trekking trails originating at Leh are:

1. The Nubra Valley Trek - could take about 3 weeks round trip.
2. The Indus Valley Trek - takes about 2 weeks round trip.
3. The Markha Valley Trek - could take about 10 days round trip.
4. The Zanskar Valley Trek – could take about 2 weeks round trip.
5. The Suru Valley Trek – could take about 3 weeks round trip.
6. Khardung La Trek – can be done in 4 days round trip.
