Early morning, we start our drive from Leh and reach Zinchen, passing by Spituk.

Start of Trek: We start our trekking venture from here, with ponies carrying our luggage, tents and other camping essentials.  It is a gradual climb from Zingchan to Rumbak valley. From here, we get to see the spectacular views of the snow capped Stok mountains. We continue our journey along the Rumbak river and end the day at Yurutse village (3900 mts). Here, we can see fields of barley and potatoes across the place. Overnight Camping or Homestay.

After lunch we continue our descent, through a stunning rocky ravine filled with wild rosebushes and trickling mountain streams. At the end of the descent, we reach the banks of the Markha River. We continue our trek until we reach the village of Skiu (3700 mtrs), where there is a confluence of the rivers coming from Markha valley and Shingo. Overnight camping or Homestay in Skiu.

Today, it is a very pleasant hike up the Markha valley today with our trail crossing numerous streams. There are bridges at many of the more difficult crossing places. The lush vegetation along the riverside is in stark contrast to the dry and barren upper valley slopes. We reach the quaint village of Markha (3800 mts) with a deserted fort. Overnight Camping or Homestay.

The color of the landscape changes during our trek as the warm, relatively heavily wooded sections of lower Markha is left behind. We will cross the river several times and pass by Hankar, the Highest village in the Markha valley. We continue our trail along a stream and reach the pastures of Tatchungste, where we shall camp or opt for homestay in Hankar for the night.

Our trek takes us along several small inclines over the high grazing pastures. There are a series of Mani walls (walls carved with Buddhist prayers) and chortens en route. This is one of the most beautiful high valleys in Ladakh.

As we reach the plateau of Nimaling, we can see a clear view of Kang yatze peak (6200 m). A further gradual walk of around two hours takes us to our camps. Rest of the day will be at leisure. We also get a peek in to the lifestyle of the nomadic shepherds with their hundreds of goats, yaks and sheep. Overnight camp or Homestay at Nimaling(4650 m).
