The great circuit of Ladakh

A new and easy and cheap starting point for trips to Ladakh is New Delhi. From there you have three ways to get to Ladakh. – ** By air to Leh **: the simplest option, but a bit impractical if you want to do a complete circuit. – ** By bus via Himachal Pradech **: unfavorable for a start due to high altitude, ideal rather as a return trip – ** By bus / plane via Kashmir **: Ideal for us, when in addition outside Ladakh you can even get to know the green for a few days Cashmere

From Kashmir, head across the Himalayas and the Zoji-La saddle to Western Muslim Ladakh. Here is the most beautiful place of the Suru valley

• If you are not just going to travel on small tours, continue from the Suru valley to Zanskar and from there take the so-called Zanskar trek (Padum – Lamayuru trek) to Lamayuru. In the old itineraries, this trek is mentioned for 8 days, but thanks to the extension of the road on both sides, it only takes days 5. – Otherwise you have to return by bus back to Kargil and from there continue to Lamayur – ideal for a break and tour and to Leh

The second week (including a drive from West Ladakh) you can dedicate Leh and its surroundings, including the beautiful Buddhist monasteries in the Indus Valley or the Khardung la saddle.

Other great trekking opportunities can be found near Léh. You can try to climb the six thousand Stok Kangri or have a classic but beautiful Markha trek

Last week, choose some of the beautiful trips to Karakoram, India or the desolate region of Rupsha. Finally, a long epic drive to Himachal Pradesche awaits you.
