Online quotation for trekking insurance Information on booking international flights This is a unique trek across the Rupshu region in south east Ladakh- it is a starkly beautiful region of high-altitude arid plains, gentle mountain ranges and salt-water lakes, such as Tso Kar and Tso Moriri, with the only inhabitants being pastoral nomads. We will spend seven days crossing this region while going over a number of high passes before reaching the salt-water lake of Tso Moriri. The combination of a cultural exploration of the rich Buddhist culture of Ladakh and a challenging trek in the high desert plateau makes this a distinctive Himalayan journey. Since acclimatisation is one of our most important considerations for this trek we fly into Leh at 3,500m and our first few days will be spent visiting the remarkable palaces and monasteries in Ladakh: Leh, Shey, Thiksey and Hemis.
