The trek traverses Ladakh’s stunning landscapes, featuring exotic wildlife and spectacular vistas of towering Himalayan peaks. Though demanding, the reward of summiting a six-thousand-meter peak far outweighs any exhaustion or doubt. The route leads through rustic Ladakhi nomad villages, alpine meadows, loose moraines, narrow ridges, and deep valleys.
