Alone in Ladhak

shephherd

Hullo All !

Requesting information on treks in Ladhak. I intend to be in Ladhak in June-July 2008(alone,as of now but open to company).Have earlier done Gaumukh-Tapovan and Kedar Tal.

Could those who have travelled in this region please suggest a good route...(was thinking on the lines of Markha,Indus)say 7-9 days. Also, is it possible to hire guide/porter/cook in Leh? If yes,what would the indicative range of cost/day be?

Any other tips welcome. Greatly appreciate your response.....need to start planning asap.

Thanks much,
Shephherd.

Hi,
Reach Leh by road and spend a few days there. Go around the town and you shall be able to joining some group planning the trek for 8-9 days. Like you mentioned Markha valley trek is the one you may aim for.

Thanks VSK.

Thats a possibility. You'd agree that a small group wd be preferable.Just checking, from your experience, do you think its
possible to scout for a horseman etc., for a single guy?

Also, are there places along the way where you can shack up? or is it imperative to carry tent+stove+food?

Am open to company.....
