Itinerary

DAY 01: LEH- PHYANG- PHYANG PHU (4 HRS)

We will drive to Phyang and after visiting the Monastery, trek to Phyang Phu. Today is a short day in terms of walking but a good day for acclimatization.

Day 02: Phyang phu- South base of Lasermo 4700m (4 hrs)

After a leisurely breakfast, we will continue our trek to the base of Lasermo La 4700 m.

Day 03: South base of Lasermo- North base via Lasermola 5400m (6-7 hrs)

Today we start quite early in the morning as we will cross the Lasermo Pass (5400m). The top of Lasermo pass offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, the Indus valley and the Shayok Valley. The trail from the pass towards our camp passes rough moraines for an hour and a half. It is important to start early, as the ponies must cross the glacier before midday in order to avoid difficulties arising from snow and ice melting. The campsite is in a beautiful meadow and offer opportunities to explore and see flowers growing at high altitude.

Day 04: North base- Hunder Dok (5-6 hrs)

Today we will walk down through meadows, flowers, and sometimes rocks. Most of the time, we will be walking along the Hunder stream. After following the stream for a while, we will pass through shepherds' huts, where the men and women from Hunder Dok Village live with their Yaks, cows, goats and sheep. They could be seen collecting milk, cheese, butter, wild vegetables and fuel for the winter. If you feel adventurous, you can taste the delicious milk and cheese with Tsampa. Purchasing these are not possible in Leh. Our campsite is just above the Village of Dok Gongma (Upper Dok).

Day 05: Hunder upper dok- Skarchen (5-6 hrs)

Another beautiful day, we will pass through the villages of Dok Gongma, Dok Yokma and Wachan, which are names of different places with concentrations of scattered houses belonging to a common village known locally as Hunder Dok. If you are not in a hurry to get to your camp at Skarchen (a place where some of the local families go with their animals during the winter) you can spend sometime exploring the villages and share a few moments getting to know the locals.

Day 06: Skarchen- Hunder (3-4 hrs)

The last day of trekking is through the beautiful Hunder Gorge, which opens up just before descending to Hunder Bridge. Before the final descent we will have a great view of Saser Kangri (7672m) Overnight hotel at huder village.
