Trip costOne of the few regions within Ladakh which has remained wild and not yet frequented by hikers, this trek takes you to the remote high passes connecting the Indus and Zanskar river valleys. We start the trek from Lamayuru, situated to the west of the Indus river and then cross over five passes Prinkiti La (3750m), Yongma La (4720m), Kanji La (5270m), Puzdong La (5020m) and Barmi La (4680m)before descending to Lingshed village situaed above the Zanskar river. We pass through pristine villages untouched and unchanged by time, walk on rugged trails, cross gushing mountain streams flowing from the glaciers along with enjoying magnificent views from the top of the high passes. The trek truly lives upto its name and is an ideal choice for those looking for a challenging adventure in the wilderness.
