Planning to do this trek on my own in the middle of june without a guide, tent and mat, staying in guesthouses. Anyone has done this ? Have done some other treks in Ladakh before.

HI!

YOu can do this trek on your own without any problems. So go for it!
Though it DOES help the local economy if you take a local fellow with you.

Thanks mountaingirl
I was thinking of doing this trek very slowly, staying in one of the villages for a few days. Any suggestions?

Hi!

Staying in Yangthang will give you the option of going for a day hike to the nunnery at Ridzong.

Personally, I prefer Hemis SHukupachan and Temisgam(lower).

Enjoy your trip!

PS: If you are a regular trekker, it may not be THAT challenging for you as there is a duty motorable trail throughout and you may see a car or two. The road ends at Hemis Shukupachan - and you need to cross over to Temisgam - pretty nice walk - I always feel like Indiana Jones.(Of course, you also cross the Meptak La on this day).

Did Hemis Tsomoriri last year with a friend, which was realy great. But now i just want to take it easy and experience some Ladakhi village life. So i'm realy looking to my next stay. Anymore places where I realy should go ? I was thinking of going to the Hemis festival. Thanks again for your help
