Trekking

“A fearless is he for whom the mountain tops are within reach”

This ‘Land High Passes’ is a haven for trekkers. The most fascinating and most dreamt of mountain ranges are right here – the Greater Himalaya and the Karakoram, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range. There are popular trekking routes for every kind of trekker; both easy and difficult.

Trekking in Ladakh offers breathtaking options for direct interaction with the natural world. We can help you with exclusive tents equipped with basic infrastructure to give you a chance to camp in the lap of nature.

Tailor made camping options are also obtainable wherein our representatives will supervise the arrangements themselves to make sure that the camps are safe and well equipped. While trekking, we recommend that you stay with the tour guide who would take charge to advise and describe the best possible ways to enjoy while trekking. Choose among the following or go for them all:

  • Lamayuru to Chilling Trek
  • Classic Markha Trek
  • Lamayuru to Padum Trek
  • Caravans Trek
  • Markha Valley Nomad's Trek
  • Spituk
  • Chaddar Trek in winter

Take your pick!

Ladakh is sanctified with stunning mountain ranges, so there is a lot more than what has been mentioned above. Please write to us for our custom made itineraries and details pertaining to it. We specialize in perfect and environment friendly vacations.

Tips for Trekkers

  • Be it an easy or a difficult trek, you must prepare well for it- Carry only what is needed!
  • Wear trekking boots - well broken in and waterproofed – something that will help you grip the ground well.
  • Wear warm clothing.
  • Carry extra sets in a day-pack.
  • Thermal inner is certainly recommended here; so are sunglasses, snow goggles and a water bottle.
  • Be sure to carry a personal first aid kit including medication for common ailments such as headaches and dysentery, antiseptic cream, surgical tape, band aids, sun cream (15% block out advised for Spiti and Ladakh) and lip salve.
  • Take a toilet kit - including extra toilet paper, towel and soap along.
  • Hats to keep out the sun and parkhas to keep out the rain are important.
  • It also makes sense to carry dry eatables like chocolates and biscuits.

    • What Our Client Says

    • "As tour manager of Joe Far Tours I want to thank you for the great services my group received during Oracle-festivals from March 11 - 20, 2011. We stayed in the best hotel of town with good central heating and excellent food and service, had new cars with friendly and helpful drivers and a very experienced local guide Tashi. Besides that you personally came to check everything! Your service even included a reserved area with chairs during festival, lunch and hot tea.

      Thanks again and I am looking forward to your services in Changthang in July 2011."

    • "I arrived in Ladakh with only six precious days and no semblance of a plan. Odpal George and his team at Himalayan Safaris worked with me on short notice to set up a fantastic tour, including a 3-day trek from Likir to Lamayuru. Their service and local knowledge were top notch, and I assumed that their prices would be high -- but after checking around town with other tour operators, I realized they were right in line. I highly recommend working with Himalayan Safaris."

      Dan Fineman

    • Himalayan Safaris and Odpal George are excellent. They handled our Leh experience comprehensively, taking care of our every need, while remaining very flexible in ensuring we got the best experiences in spite of weather changes (it rained in Leh). Peter, the trek guide, was fantastic along the trek, chatty, knowledgeable about the trek area, the flora and fauna. He made good decisions on how to keep the trek experience high as the weather changed. Stenzin, our main guide at the gompas, was a fountain of knowledge. Even the drivers Egbol and Naxir, where efficient and courteous.

    • I wanted to take this opportunity to thanks you, your brother Peter and your staff for a delightful stay in Ladakh. It was a pleasure to get to know Tashi and we all enjoyed seeing the scenery, temples and towns of the region. I especially appreciated you and your company's flexibility in helping us with our changing plans.

      Finally, we so enjoyed our stay at your hotel in Sabu. The rooms were great and well designed. The food was wonderful and the staff was friendly and experienced. You and Peter have clearly put a lot of thought into it.

      We had a wonderful experience with you and would recommend it to anyone.
