Markha Valley Trek-Leh ladakh – The Land of High Advenure

The best time to do trek or best time to visit Markha valley during June to September. The weather is clear and temperature is suitable for the world trekkers, and during the month of june to september weather is perfect, temperatures for these months is a good time anyway. July is mostly warm are in most of the place, and july auguest is the flower blooming time in the Himalayas.

However, Markha Valley wasn’t just wonderful due to the natural beauty of this valley, its also a gateway to Ladakhi culture. On this trek we pass through beautiful mud brick villages, ancient monasteries, colourful shrines. Very much alive time immemorial spirituality which we get encouraged to with visits to Hemis and Thiksey Monasteries.

 

Even the Ladkhi Buddhists, who live a simple life and they are obviously peace as well, can easily see that even they have realised how they have taken so many aspects of their life into their surroundings. Two of the biggest monasteries in the Markha region, biggest monasteries in the entire Leh-Ladakh region.

Some of the camps are very isolation most of the time like Nimaling (14,700 feet) to Thachungtse.

A place to escape to sprawling green pastures of grazing yaks at Nimaling or close stargazing in culturally rich old villages and spectacular temples and monasteries with crystal clear Himalayan skies.

 

An escape to expansive green pastures, grazing yaks at Nimaling or close stargazing under crystal clear Himalayan skies in culturally rich old villages with spectacular temples and monasteries. The slightly lower altitude of Thachungtse, cooler Thachungtse, is a meditative atmosphere, its landscape of cliff and stream.

Hemis National Park was in the route when visiting Markha Valley, don’t forget to take a look around as rare and endangered such as snow leopards, blue sheep and golden eagles reside here. The fact Ladakh is still unspoiled wilderness is a bonus, to see these majestic creatures is such a privilege, to spot them in their natural habitat, yet you don’t get that very often.

Trekking in Ladakh requires Inner Line Permit (ILP) for entering protected areas of Ladakh. They can be easily taken from District Magistrate’s office in Leh or registered travel agents. for the permit will need valid passport or valid any Identification and passport size picture for the applying of permit.

The Markha Valley Trek is a cultural trek in Ladakh, wildlife and spiritual adventure, why it is considered the cultural trek, because in these of valley lives only ladakhi people and there is not any other people accept of ladakhi and most of the people are following the deeply buddhist religion, aside from being journey through the magnificent landscapes of the Land of Ladakh. No moment on this trek is boring, adrenaline pumping river crossings to peaceful nights under starry skies. When you want something to be a challenge and some immersion in the real life, Markha Valley is an odyssey of its kind.
