The Markha Valley Trek is one of Ladakh’s most iconic adventures—offering a perfect mix of high-altitude drama, remote village life, and raw Himalayan beauty. Stretching over 6–8 days, the trail takes you through deep gorges, ancient monasteries, and green oases set against barren mountains.

The highlight? Crossing Kongmaru La (5,260m), with jaw-dropping views of the Zanskar and Karakoram ranges. Along the way, you’ll stay in homestays, sip butter tea, and experience the warmth of Ladakhi hospitality.

Best time to go? Mid-June to mid-September, when the passes are open and the skies are clear.

This trek isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about slowing down, breathing in the silence, and walking through stories written in stone and wind.
