This trek follows an ancient trade route connecting the Indus and Nubra valleys which was part of the old Silk Road network stretching from India to Central Asia.

The beauty of the untouched landscape, the stunning views from the high pass of Lasermo La and the beautiful valley of Hunder Dok will leave you spellbound.
The trip will start with a 2-day "acclimatization" trek from Zingchen to Stok with one night in a homestay in the charming village of Rumbak.
