Markha Valley Trek – A Classic Ladakh Adventure The Markha Valley Trek is one of the most popular and scenic treks in Ladakh, taking you through remote villages, high mountain passes, lush valleys, and ancient monasteries. Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Zanskar and Ladakh ranges, this 7-day trek offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and cultural experience. Trek Grade: Moderate to Challenging While the trail doesn’t require technical climbing skills, the high altitudes (up to 5,200 m at Kongmaru La) and long walking hours make it physically demanding. Good fitness and prior trekking experience are recommended. Who Should Do This Trek: This trek is ideal for adventurous travelers who are reasonably fit and looking to explore the raw beauty of Ladakh on foot. It’s perfect for those who’ve done moderate treks before and are ready to take on a high-altitude Himalayan trail with unforgettable landscapes and local interactions.
