Day-by-Day Itinerary
Report at the Leh Hotel
Leh hotel/guesthouse, double or triple sharingReach the designated Leh hotel independently between 13:00 and 14:00 and begin the included stay. Keep activity light while adjusting to altitude. The operator recommends arriving a day early by flight and retaining buffer days, which are outside this priced itinerary unless separately confirmed.
Acclimatize in Leh
Leh hotel/guesthouseSpend a second day acclimatizing with rest and gentle activity. The page lists local cultural sights, but explicitly excludes sightseeing charges. Do not treat optional cycling or excursions as required acclimatization activity or included transport.
Drive to Skiu and Trek to Sara
Sara camp/homestay; allocation to confirmThe current day card gives a 75 km drive lasting 2-3 hours to Skiu, followed by a 4-5 km, two-hour walk toward Sara through river valleys and village fields. The cost table instead names Zinchen; confirm the pickup vehicle and actual roadhead rather than combining the routes.
Sara to Markha
Markha camp/homestayWalk approximately 10 km over 6-7 hours, following open valleys, cultivated fields and river crossings to Markha. The published altitude gain is modest, but walking time and crossings depend on conditions.
Markha to Hankar
Hankar camp/homestayContinue approximately 13 km over 7-8 hours toward Hankar, gaining around 400 m. The stage passes broad valleys and mountain terrain with Kang Yatse views in clear weather. Maintain the guide's pace and crossing plan.
Hankar to Nimaling
Nimaling campAscend approximately 12 km over 7-8 hours to Nimaling, with a published gain of about 700 m. Rest at the high camp and monitor altitude symptoms before the following day's pass crossing.
Kongmaru La, Chokdo and Leh
Included Leh hotel/guesthouse nightCross Kongmaru La and descend through gorges toward Chokdo, about 13 km and 7-8 walking hours. Take the included approximately 60 km, three-hour drive to Leh and use the final guesthouse night explicitly listed in the cost terms. The trek meal window ends with packed lunch; retain a buffer for delays.
Final Hotel Checkout
No overnight stayBoundary-only entry after the included Day 7 hotel night: check out by the stated 11:00 hotel deadline, or earlier for independently booked travel.
