For many centuries the remote land of Ladakh has remained mysterious and otherwise inaccessible to rest of the world. A few ancient explorers from Europe and Asia visited Ladakh subjected to a long duration of harsh travel in subzero temperature through this tough and rugged terrain;  just to find a “Little Tibet” hidden in this barren land. The first recorded arrival was in the seventh century A.D. the great Buddhist pilgrim – explorer Hsuan – Tsang  followed by in later the famous Russian artist and explorer Nicholas Roerich, famous treasure seekers and explorer Sir Aural Stein and Von Le Cog or the British Explorer Moorcroft of whom the “Moorcroft route” is till today famous in his name.

The silk route has been for centuries a much significant-pivotal point for all the traders between the central Asia, Afghanistan, China and India which passed through the Nubra Valley of Ladakh.

Many trekking routes are thus manifested by ancient footsteps, thus most of the camping site are already pre-defined near water sources.
Trekking in Ladakh is unlike many other trekking regions in the world, it is completely a different experience in the vast land of more then 90,000 sqr Kilometers and just 2 inhabitants per kilometer-one of the worlds least populated area.

The altitude here varies from 3500 mtrs to 5700 mtrs in these treks and from 3 days mild walk to a vigorous expedition of 25 days can be done in this region. Many “off the beaten treks” are there as well. Many peaks from 6000 to 7000 mts can be coupled with the trekking by giving a day or two extra. Many unknown peaks lies in this region waiting to be conquered by some ardent adventure lover.

The main season of trekking in Ladakh starts from May and last till end of September. If one wish to climb a mountain also with the trekking then early May or end of September is ideal.
