Lotus Adventure

Lotus Adventure offers a Multiple Ladakh Treks such as ..
1. Markha Valley : – The Markha valley trek in the Hemis National Park is the most popular trek in Ladakh. The Markha valley runs parallel with the Indus valley, wedged between the snow-clad Stok Kangri massif to the north and the Zanskar range to the south. During this trek, you will see breathtaking mountain scenery, wild animals and small isolated villages surrounded by green barley fields. You will have the opportunity to stay in homestays in these villages and discover the way of life of the local people.
The trek takes 6 to 8 days to complete depending on the starting point. The Markha valley can be reached from two different routes: one from Spituk and the other from Chilling. The trek from Spituk is the longest option. It crosses 2 passes, Ganda La (4961m) and Kongmaru La (5260m), before reaching Hemis where the trek ends. Those who don’t have enough time and those looking to avoid the Ganda La pass could start the trek from Chilling, an easier and shorter option.

2. Nubra valley trek from Phyang to Hunder :- The trek from Phyang to Hunder connects the Indus valley to the Nubra valley.

From the pass, there is a wonderful panorama of the Karakoram range. This trek is done in 5 days.
After the trek, you will visit the main highlights of the Nubra valley.
