Kargiakh (High Altitude Trek)

An internal flight from New Delhi brings you to Chandigarh where our staff receives you. Take in the sights and sounds of India as we drive through the plains and across the Outer, Inner, Greater and Tans-Himalayan Ranges attending clinics, camping and interacting with the local populations. A 6-day hike over a18,200 ft takes you to 3 ancient settlements of Zanskar Valley located in southern Ladakh. Provide care to these settlers and experience a centuries-old culture inspired by religion and karma, and preserved in its purest form through present day.

Following clinics in Zanskar a drive on a newly carved road that runs over two high mountain passes brings you to Leh, capital of Ladakh. A two night/one full day stay is built in to rest, recover and explore Leh. A flight over the western Himalayas brings you back to New Delhi for your flights back home.

Note: The 6-day, partially self-contained, high-altitude trek is demanding with minimal comfort, all of it above the Himalayan tree line in a rough mountainous terrain. Please take time to grasp the reality of this and conduct a personal inventory on yourself before signing up.
