But have you ever thought about a Ladakh trek that offers changing landscapes and a unique sneak peek into Ladakhi culture? If not, then it\u2019s time for the Markha Valley Trek.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placed in the magnificent landscape, Markha Valley Trek is the finest ever trek of Ladakh. Set in the picturesque river valley called Markha, this trek gives you the best feel of the mighty Himalayas in its 7-day duration. The trek goes over the majestic, cold, arid deserts of Markha which is part of the famous Hemis National Park.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trek is a bundle of high-altitude passes, river crossings, rocky canyons, and vast wildlife. While on this trek, you get a magnificent view of Mt Kang Yatse on the third day of the trek. This near pyramid peak has an altitude of 21300 ft. It also goes to the high mountain pass of Kongmaru La which has an altitude of 17060ft.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will get a lifetime view from this pass of the wide range of the Indus Valley and Ladakh mountain ranges.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Markha Valley Trek India is a grand trek of Ladakh and Kashmir region. You get an amazing view on the trail amid barren mountains for which Ladakh is famous. The trek exposes you to the villages of Markha Valley.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The modest mud houses are set on the beautiful trail of this trek. There are local houses and traditional Buddhist religious motifs that you will see on and off during this trek. The culture and architecture of the valley will mesmerize you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part of this trek which is quite different from other treks is the stay in homes. On this trek, you can lodge in one of the local houses. This makes the Markha valley one of the rare tea-house treks in the Indian Himalayas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Cliffhangers India as your trekking partner, it\u2019s

National Park\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Markha Valley lies tucked within the beautiful and contrasting landscapes of Ladakh\u2019s Hemis National Park. This region blends high-altitude desert terrain with rivers, canyons, and Mighty Himalayan peaks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Villages like Skiu, Hankar, and Markha offer glimpses into remote Ladakhi life. Ancient monasteries and fluttering prayer flags line the trail in quiet reverence. Expect to cross wooden bridges, narrow ridgelines, and riverbeds with crystal-clear snowmelt water.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though remote and quite offbeat, it\u2019s one of the most sought-after and culturally rich trekking regions in Ladakh, India. Wildlife sightings during the trek include blue sheep, marmots, golden eagles, or even a snow leopard. You\u2019ll feel different worlds away from cute distractions in this untouched Himalayan gem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Duration:\u00a0 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7-9 days<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Markha Valley trek usually requires between seven to nine days to complete. However, duration can vary depending on fitness levels, weather, or route variations en route the trek.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some trekkers add acclimatization days according to their comfort to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). They even visit nearby peaks and valleys along the way. Longer treks often feel more relaxed and less exhausting. Shorter ones may push daily mileage and can leave you very tired at the end of the day.\u00a0 Throughout the trek, you can expect to walk five to seven hours per day across rugged terrain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your guide will plan campsites that allow proper rest and gradual altitude gain to properly blend in. If you\u2019re new to multi-day hiking, choose an itinerary with built-in flexibility.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan buffer time at the start for acclimatisation and in the end in Leh for weather and recovery.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Difficulty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Moderate to challenging\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difficulty gradient of Markha Valley trek is considered moderate to challenging based on terrain and altitude gains. Although you don\u2019t need mountaineering experience, strong cardiovascular fitness really helps in having a safe experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trail includes river crossings, steep climbs, rocky ridges, and high mountain passes. Markha Valley\u2019s high elevation makes it harder since thinner air means faster fatigue.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper acclimatization is critical to avoid altitude sickness, especially when trekking around Kongmaru La pass, one of the highest passes in the trek.\u00a0 Most days involve steady uphill walking with some scrambling near certain sections. Beginners with good training can complete it, but mental grit also goes far.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trekking poles, hydration, and layering clothes smartly make a huge difference every day.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Highest Altitude:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 17,100 feet( Kongmaru La Pass)\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The highest point on the Markha Valley trek is Kongmaru La Pass, reaching nearly 17,100 feet. Crossing this pass offers panoramic views of Ladakh\u2019s wild, sky-touching mountain ranges.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this height, oxygen levels drop to nearly half of sea-level amounts. You\u2019ll likely feel breathless and slow, but that\u2019s entirely normal at this point. Weather here can shift quickly. Strong winds or snow are not uncommon.\u00a0 The climb is steep and narrow, but the views at the top are unforgettable and mesmerizing.\u00a0 Descending from Kongmaru La leads you back toward civilization and the end of the trek. Entirely, always listen to your body, hydrate well, and never rush on this climb.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Starting Point:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chilling, Zanskar Valley, Ladakh.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trek usually starts from Chilling, a small village near the Zanskar River banks. To reach Chilling, you\u2019ll drive about two hours from Leh through winding roads.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The village acts as your final checkpoint before stepping into the wild. Chilling has minimal infrastructure, so stock essentials and rent gear in Leh beforehand. Guided treks often arrange transportation, permits, food, and mules for carrying heavier equipment. The trail starts gently along riverside paths before climbing toward Skiu and Markha. Expect a scenic start with canyons, gorges, and distant snow-capped peaks in view.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Get 30% off on: <a href=\"https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/tours\/kashmir-great-lakes-trek\/\">Kashmir Great Lakes Trek.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-279599b\" data-id=\"279599b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d4dd26 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d4dd26\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0061ed1\" data-id=\"0061ed1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2792d55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2792d55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fixed Departure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b201ef depature_list elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5b201ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<table class=\"schedule_table\">\r\n   <thead>\r\n      <tr>\r\n         <th>Date<\/th>\r\n         <th>Status<\/th>\r\n      <\/tr>\r\n   <\/thead>\r\n   <tbody>\r\n      <tr data-per=\"100\">\r\n         <td>06 Jul  -

to the surreal Markha Valley begins. The drive from Leh to Chilling offers a stunning preview of Ladakh\u2019s dramatic landscapes, with winding roads, gorges, and glimpses of the mighty Zanskar River.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chilling marks the confluence where the Markha river merges with the powerful Zanskar River. It&#8217;s also the last point accessible by road before the trek begins.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re traveling in a group, hiring a taxi (approx. \u20b93000) is convenient as local buses from Leh to Chilling operate only twice a week. Alternatively, you can try hitching a ride with rafting groups headed that way \u2014 many tempo travellers pass through Chilling and sometimes offer spare seats. Travel agents may help arrange this.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon reaching Chilling, the adventure truly begins. Cross the Zanskar river using the iconic trolley bridge \u2014 a thrilling and unforgettable experience to kick off your trek. A newly constructed footbridge also offers a more stable alternative.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once across the river, take the path that climbs up from the road. Though steep for the first 30 minutes, the views make the effort worthwhile. The initial ascent may feel strenuous due to the altitude, so take it slow and steady.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, the trail merges with a flat motorable road. From here, the walk becomes more pleasant as the path traces the river. After around 3 km, you&#8217;ll come across Kaya village \u2014 a small settlement with a few homestays. It&#8217;s an optional halt, but camping here may stretch the next day significantly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another 3 km ahead lies the charming village of Skiu, tucked between towering cliffs and shaded by apricot trees. With its peaceful vibe, cozy homestays, and scenic campsites, Skiu is the perfect place to unwind and acclimatize for the days ahead.<\/span><\/p><p data-start=\"3747\" data-end=\"3852\"><strong>Book <a href=\"https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/tours\/kedarkantha-trek\/\">Kedarkantha Trek<\/a> which is standing on the summit at 12,500 ft with 360-degree views.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-8282\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8282\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"daybox\">Day 2<\/span> Skiu \u2013 Markha<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8282\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8282\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Altitude: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11,160 ft \u2013 12,370 ft<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 20 km<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Duration: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6\u20137 hours<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the longest walking day of the trek but one of the most scenic. The route continues along the Markha river, offering glimpses of willow trees, wild rose bushes, and occasional barley fields \u2014 a rare sight in Ladakh\u2019s arid terrain.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s challenge includes crossing the icy waters of the Markha River not once, but twice. These river crossings are thrilling and refreshing, but require caution \u2014 waterproof sandals or slippers will come in handy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trail begins by heading eastward. About 2 km in, you\u2019ll spot a bridge \u2014 do not cross it. Stay on the same side of the river. The trail gradually gains elevation, with intermittent washout zones requiring some detours. Watch your step on loose rocks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll soon pass a clearing called Narding, followed by a campsite named Sara around 3 km ahead. The area is dotted with fluttering prayer flags and makes for a good spot to take a break.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roughly a kilometer further, cross another bridge to reach Chalak \u2014 a picturesque Ladakhi village with terraced barley fields, stone houses, and friendly locals. Expect to spend around 5 to 6 hours reaching this point from Skiu.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Chalak, the trail gently ascends and follows a path lined with Bharal (blue sheep) horns, used here as trail markers. As the valley widens, the approach to Markha involves another chilly river crossing. Look for the widest and shallowest point to ford safely.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After crossing, a final bridge leads into Markha \u2014 the largest village on the trek with over 25 homes. The village has several homestays and even a small monastery, making it a culturally rich and restful stop.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-8283\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8283\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"daybox\">Day 3<\/span> Markha \u2013 Hankar<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8283\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8283\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Altitude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 12,370 ft \u2013 13,100 ft<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11 km<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Duration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4\u20135 hours<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you leave Markha, you enter the upper valley \u2014 where the landscape begins to change dramatically.

You&#8217;ll come across a wooden plank bridge \u2014 skip it and continue with the river to your right.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of river crossings lie ahead. These sections require careful navigation, especially post-monsoon when water levels may be high. After the second crossing, a 2-hour climb brings you to Umlung \u2014 a small cluster of houses with an old, charming gompa.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just beyond Umlung, prepare to be awestruck \u2014 your first glimpse of Kang Yatse II awaits. The majestic peak rises in a perfect pyramid, its snow-covered slopes glistening under the sun. From this point, Kang Yatse remains a constant visual companion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A narrow trail hugging the edge of the gorge leads you toward Hankar, a village surrounded by surreal rock formations and striking geological layers.

The scenery opens up to vast pastures, mirror-like ponds, and colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trail climbs out of Hankar and forks after 1 km. Avoid the high trail heading to Zalung Karpo La; instead, continue on the lower route to Thochungtse \u2014 a pleasant meadow with teahouse tents and grazing yaks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly after Thochungtse, another fork appears. The left trail leads to Nimaling, while the right ascends to the Kang Yatse Base Camp. Stay left and continue your gradual ascent.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The climb remains steep for a while but eventually eases off.

It\u2019s a steep and strenuous climb, taking around two hours to reach the top.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the summit, fluttering prayer flags mark your arrival at Kongmaru La. Take a well-earned break to absorb the views \u2014 you can spot the Indus Valley, Ladakh Ranges, and Kang Yatse all at once. This is also the only point on the trek where you&#8217;ll get mobile reception.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the descent that follows is not to be underestimated. It\u2019s a steep, rocky drop into a narrow canyon. The terrain is loose and requires careful footing. Trekking poles are especially useful here.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 2 hours of descent, the valley opens up near Sukarmo, where teahouse tents offer a welcome respite. From there, a gentle but consistent descent continues along the riverbed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, you arrive at Chokdo, a small village where you\u2019ll rest for the night. Homestays here offer warm meals and a cozy place to recover. Since Shang Sumdo has no assured transport, it\u2019s wise to arrange a taxi pickup from Chokdo itself.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-8286\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8286\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"daybox\">Day 6<\/span>  Chokdo \u2013 Shang Sumdo \u2013 Leh<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8286\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8286\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Altitude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 12,810 ft \u2013 12,140 ft \u2013 11,560 ft<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 km trek, 50 km drive<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Duration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 2 hours trek, 2 hours drive<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s walk is easy and relaxed.

This is the time when the sun is out, temperatures are ideal for trekking in the high altitude.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June through September remains the ideal trekking window, offering safer trails and clearer views. Snowmelt from spring adds life to streams and makes landscapes lush and colorful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid pushing your trek into late September, as early snowfall can block higher sections. A good rule? Always check the forecast at Leh before heading toward the trailhead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local guides often know the microclimate pattern. Trust their advice and stay flexible with your plans.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Markha Valley in Winter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Markha Valley trek in winter is not doable. This trek is purely a summer trek and is done from July to September end.

This time the trek closes and as the autumn sets in Ladakh, the higher passes have a high chance of snowfall.<\/span><\/p><p><b>December:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In December Markha Valley receives plenty of snowfall. Hence Markha Valley trek is not done in December.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Markha Valley Trek in Summer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Markha Valley Trek in summer is the most beautiful and recommended one.

Hence it must be borne in mind that you will have the sharp ascends while going over to the passes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Further, there are days when the trek is quite mild and gives you enough time to enjoy the walk in the middle of the stunning landscape of Ladakh. The longest distance is on the second day which is around 20km. However, the altitude gain is fairly low which makes the walk not that strenuous on your legs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1574\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Weather Conditions<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1574\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1574\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"why-options\"><div><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10-600x451.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cliffhangersindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image10-64x48.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"content_height\"><h2><b>Weather Conditions\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><b>Summer trek<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From June to September, the Markha Valley opens up for trekkers and mountain lovers.

Alternatively, visit the Leh DC Office to get the permit processed in person. Carry multiple photocopies of your ILP. Checkpoints may request them during the trek.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a smoother experience, you can choose Cliffhangers India for this task. We manage permits on behalf of our clients, saving time and hassle.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permits typically require ID proof and a passport-sized photo for processing.
