Markha Valley Trek 9 Nights - 10 Days Tour

Package Overview

Markha Valley Trek is great choice for winter trek in Ladakh region. Ladakh offer a completely unparallel mix of its unique buddhist culture as well as its barren landscape. Prayer flags welcome you on the high passes as well as to the villages in Markha Valley.Markha Valley trek in winters is slightly more challenging because of the cold and the snow conditions. Walking on the snow throughout the trek is definitely a highlight of this trek.

At Wanderers we believe, there is no place as beautiful as Markha valley and the view of Markha River surrounded with snow is simply incredible.

Other than Markha valley trek, some of the other treks in Ladakh region are Sham Valley Trek, Stok Kangri Trek, Kang Yatse II, Chadar Trek. Also, Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is another great choice from Kashmir region.
