Lamayuru Martselang Trek

This outstanding trek begins with a drive down the Indus River from Leh to visit the ancient and spectacularly sited Lamayuru monastery. We then trek through villages and nomadic settlements in the beautiful and little known Ripcher Valley. The trail crosses several passes with excellent views of the Karakorum and Zanskar Mountains before descending to and crossing the Zanskar River. From here we enter the transcendent wonderland of the Markha and Nimaling Valleys before arriving back on the Indus at Martselang. The highest trek elevation is the 16,900 foot Kongmaru La above Nimaling meadows.
