Markha Valley trek
Quite uniquely the Markha Valley trek is set on a different kind of trail consisting of adorable Tea Houses as rest spots amidst the journey through cold dry Ladakhian deserts. The trek is 65 km long rising to an altitude of 17,060 ft above the mean sea level. The Markha Valley is a stunning river valley located in the Hemis National Park in the Ladakh region. Owing to the terrain of Ladakhian Mountains and high altitudes of this place this trek is claimed to be of a moderate difficulty.
