Rushpu is a little - known land which
has lately been opened to foreign
visitors. Lying on the eastern margins
of Ladakh, the area which is an
extension of Tibet's Chang Tang plains,
is predominantly high and dry desert
land, dissected by numerous mountain
ridges and traversed by a number of
ancient trading routes. There are
permanent settlements in the principal
valleys Rushpu but majority of the
inhabitants are nomadic Changpas of the
Tibetan origin, who travel widely across
the high steppes, totally reliant on
their yak and sheep herds for
subsistence. We drive to Manali and
spend 2 days to Manali and Keylong which
assists for acclimatization. Setting off
our trek from Brandy Nallah for a
wonderful trek with all together
different landscapes involving high
altitude trekking over Marangla. The
trek passes through vast valleys, deep
gorges and barren of high plateau of
Chang Tang that spreads hundred of
kilometers east to the province of
Quinghal in China. Almost the entire
route is above 4000m with lovely high
meadow campsites, stunning scenery
isolated villages and fascinating
encounters with the hardy Changpa at
their black tented encampments, makes
this undoubtedly one of the best trek -
only itineraries currently on offer in
Ladakh. We conclude our trek in
Tsomoriri Lake or climb to Tsomoriri
Peak ( 6200 Mts. ) which requires
additional 3 days including 1 day rest
at Paldo (Tsomariri area). |

challenging trek passes through the
Zanskar range of Mountains and the
remote Kingdom of Zanskar. After flying
in to Leh, we spend 3 days on a very
necessary programme of acclimatization
before setting off from Lamayuru
Monastery. The beginning 2 days of the
trek is more or less gentle and then
starts getting more strenuous as the
trail winds its way over the convoluted
passes the second high test is of which
is Sengge La. We now traverse a
landscape where vast valleys and soaring
Mountains dwarf the tiny villages. Still
practicing the ancient forms of
Buddhism, the people of Zanskar are
strong, hard working, cheerful, curious
and generous by nature. After meeting
the trail, which runs parallel to the
Zanskar River, finally meeting it just
before the tiny village at Hanumil. it
then follows a wide flat valley to Padum,
the head quarters of Zanskar past Karsha
Gompa, the largest in Zanskar. The easy
second half of the trek from Padum
continues south - east along the Tsarap
River to the magnificent Gompa and
Phuktal. We follow Tsarap River up to
Lakong below Shingo La. the number of
villages increasing with walk into the
valley. The scenery is wild and
magnificent with great cliffs of
beautiful coloured rock flanking the
valley. From here we take our
pre-arranged transport to lush green
valley of Manali over Rohtang Pass. |
