Package Description

The Rumtse to Tso Moriri trek is a popular trekking route located in the Ladakh region of India. The trek begins in the village of Rumtse and follows a remote trail through the Changthang plateau, a high-altitude desert that is home to traditional Tibetan nomads and wildlife like marmots, wild asses, and snow leopards.

The trek is generally considered challenging due to the high altitude and rugged terrain. Trekkers will cross several high passes, including the Kyamayuri La pass (5,000m) and the Yalung Nyau La pass (5,200m), as well as hike along the shores of Tso Moriri, a stunning high-altitude lake located at an altitude of 4,500m.

The trek typically takes around 12-14 days to complete and requires good physical fitness and acclimatization to the high altitude. Along the way, trekkers will camp in remote locations and have the opportunity to experience the unique culture and hospitality of the local nomadic communities.

Overall, the Rumtse to Tso Moriri trek is a breathtaking journey through one of the world's most remote and rugged landscapes, offering trekkers a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and cultural richness of this unique region.
