Padum - Hemis Trek
Day 1 |
(3 hours to Stongday) Padum (3600 M) is on the bank of
River Zanskar. You need to cross the river using the rope
bridge. After a 3 hour walk along the river you will reach
Stongday. |
Day 2 |
(5 hours to Zangla) Continue along the Zanskar river, still
on mostly flat land, till you reach Zangla. |
Day 3 |
(6 hours to the base of the Sher Sher La (3940M). The trek
to the Zangla Gonpa is steep uphill. After that you will enter
the gorge of a knee deep river. You will cross the river at
least 15 or 20 times on the same day, while travelling through
the gorge. You will come to place where two rivers meet. Take
the left valley at this point. Walk till you reach the base of
the Sher Sher La Pass(also Char Char La - 5170m). You will
find a green camping ground with water. |
Day 4 |
(6.30 hours to Chup Cha - 4700M). There will first be a
very steep climb up to the Sher Sher La Pass, on an
uncomfortable, stony path, past boulders. After you cross the
pass, you will go down to the green Chup Cha (or Chhup Chhak)
Plateau where two streams meet. The camping ground is quite
good. |
Day 5 |
(5 hours to Shang Kongma 3970m) Today it will mainly be
descent to yet another meeting of two rivers. You will go down
into a gorge and cress- cross the river more than 10 times. |
Day 6 |
3.30 hours to a nameless, meadow, 3800m) Go down the
valley, cress cross the waist-deep river several more times.
Please be careful and use a rope anchor. Don't even try to
cross the river in the afternoon, it's just not possible. Once
again you will find a meadow where two rivers meet, it's a
good camping site. The water gets muddy. |
Day 8 |
(6 hours Nari Narsa 4270m) Your trek today will begin with
the little valley on the left. There will be a very steep
climb up a path of stones and boulders, (can I still dessuade
you from this trek? And today isn't even the toughest day). If
you don't unload the ponies they might slip. Once again you
will have to cross the water several time mercifully, though,
the river is shallow today. Nari Narsa is a high altitude
valley, it has many camping sites, water and bushes are
plentiful. |
Day 9 |
(6 hours to Lang Tang 4800m) First climb through the valley
to the Rubrung(or Rebrang) Plateau. Take the valley on the
right. There is a narrow gap in the range through which you
will be cross it. This passage will take to the Zalung Karpo
La(5160m). Go up the ridge(5200m). After that it's all the way
down to the Lang Tang valley. There is a decent camp site to
be found. |
Day 10 |
(5 hours to Hankar, 4200m) Go down the valley till you
reach river Markha. Hankar village is nearby. There is a camp
site here. Hankar also has the ruins of a Fort.
(Depart/branching off) From here you can trek to the Markha
valley, from there you can follow river Markha down stream and
cross into the Indus
Valley at Spituk. |
Day 11 |
(5 hours to Nimaling, 4900m) Go up the Markha
Valley. The path is good almost right up to the Numa Ling Plateau.
You will find nomads in small huts. You will not be welcome in
case you want to stay in their huts, so just camp in the
open. Water is available but wood is not. |
Day 12 |
(6 hours to Shakdo, 4100m) Climb upto the Kangmaru
La(5030-5300m) is surprisingly easy, given the formidable
height of the pass. Go down the gorge on the other side to get
to Shakdo. |
Day 13 |
(5 hours to Hemis, 3760m)Now it will be downhill till
Martseling. After that it is a pleasant walk up to Hemis,
which is on a motorable road. |

The 3-5 Km, downhill trek on the other side is relatively
comfortable, though, you will come to a greenish valley. This
stretch is quite easy. So is the gentle, 2 hrs descent to the Drass

Nun-Kun Trek
The Nun is 7,135 meters high and the Kun is at
7,035 meters. They are around 21 Kms east of the Bhot
Kol pass and are 1,000/3,000 meters higher than the
other mountains around them. July and August are the
best moths to attempt these twin peaks. April can be
very dangerous because a number of services would be
open. October is tricky, too, because of the likelihood
of snowfall. The base from which the ascent begins is
called 'Gualmo Throngos'. It is between the stones that
mark 112 Kms from Kargil. Don't always count on finding
the stones. They are buried under several feets of snow
for almost half the year.
Day 1 |
The shortest
satisfying trek, up the hill opposite tourist bungalow, takes
less than 5 hrs return. We now are even closer to the twin
Nun-Kun Peaks |
Day 2 |
The Nun view saddle (3810m) is a short trek from Panikhar.
So, if you aren't up to going to the peaks themselves, trek to
the 'saddle' from which you can get a fine view of the
majestic peaks and the glacial valley around. |
Day 3 |
Or you climb the sentik ridge above Tangole valley and go
the glacial plateau from the ridge |
Day 4 & 5 |
You can trek from here to Pahalgam in 5 days and Kishtwar
in 6 days. |
