​Rumtse - Tsomoriri​
8 nights - 9 days
This Challenging Trek focuses mainly on the life of Nomadic People, Monasteries, Wildlife, and some high altitude Lakes of Changthang. The Trek starts from Rumtse (4100m) a village in the Eastern part of Ladakh and ends at Tsomoriri Lake, a beautiful High altitude lake in Changthang, which is also the breeding ground for birds like the Bar-necked geese and the Brahminy duck. The barren region is home to numerous species of wildlife including the wild Ass Kiang, Himalayan Marmot, Tibetan Antelope, and Himalayan Ibex. The route traverses across several high passes and while the scenery is spectacular the entire route is through vast wilderness and high altitude which requires good acclimatization.
