The Markha Valley is one the most astounding valleys chosen for trekking in India. The journey is 65 km long ascending to an elevation of 17,060 ft over the mean sea level and sets trail in the Hemis National Park. Uniquely the Markha Valley trek does not have accommodation options similar to those of the other treks and instead has an alternate sort of trail comprising of lovely Tea Houses as accommodation options in the midst of the excursion through the Ladakhian deserts. Accounting to the rough and rocky terrain of the Ladakhian Mountains and thin air due to high altitude, this trek is evident to pose challenges for its trekkers.
You may confront difficulties during this journey in case you’re not accustomed to the climate in the mountains of Ladakh. Anyway there are breathtaking panoramic views on the horizon comprising of the Himalayan peaks as you trek through the Markha Valley. A number of Himalayan peaks contribute to the beauty of Markha Valley among which some are distinctly known. These peaks include the Kang Yissay peak at 21,000 ft, the Stok Kangri peaks at 20,086 ft, the Gondala La Pass at 15,748 ft, the Kongmaru La Pass at 17,060 ft along with other mountains in the Ladakh and Zanskar Ranges. The Markha Valley is set in such a vast landscape that it lets your mind wander far off and yet stay sane enough to completely let the place sink in.
There is no recession when it comes to adventure in the Markha Valley trek because in this trek you experience everything from great heights at the Markha summit to waist deep river crossings in Markha River to snow clad mountain peaks to deserted rocky canyons to lush green meadows added with a tint of culture when you come across the tiny Buddhist Villages along the trail.
