This journey starts after a drive to Rumtse around 85 kms from Leh near the Gya village, which was the seat of the Head of Ladakh Gyapacho in the 10th century AD. It passes through three passes before Tsokar Lake and another three passes after Tsokar the salt Lake. While trekking in this region, you can come across birds, wild animals and Changpa nomades grazing their herds of goats at the mountains and high passes. The mid point of this trek is Tsomoriri Lake or Korzok, the head quarter of Nomadic people. One can explore Tsomoriri Lake for a day and trek further to Kibber via Parang La. This is one of the unique trek across the Rupshu region in southeast Ladakh. It is a simply a beautiful region with high-altitude arid plains, gentle mountain ranges and salt-water lakes, of the likes of Tso Kar and Tso Moriri. Interestingly the only inhabitants are those of pastoral nomads. A good number of days will be spent by us, crossing this region while going over a number of high passes before reaching the salt-water lake of Tso Moriri. This trek is basically a combination of a cultural exploration of the rich Buddhist legacy of Ladakh and a taxing trek in the high desert plateau makes this trek a unique experience of Western India Himalayas.
