My first high-altitude hike – the Nubra Valley trek – and all I can say is WOW! With Valerie Parkinson as our tour leader, we were set up for an unforgettable adventure from day one. The incredible cook, knowledgeable guides, and fantastic camp crew made every moment a joy. If you’re thinking of exploring the Nubra Valley, you simply can’t go wrong with this trip. The only challenge now? Deciding on my next adventure!

Five high-altitude highlights of Ladakh treks
Ladakh Treks
In the northeastern corner of India, between the two highest mountain ranges in the world, the Himalaya and Karakorum, Ladakh is a sanctuary of Buddhist calm. It’s so remote, in fact, that you can take a trekking trip here with almost a total absence of Western influences, though a growing interest in the region may soon change that.
For more remote trails, hike through the Nubra Valley, where rare double-humped Bactrian camels share a near-unspoilt terrain with traditional shepherd camps.
Or, for a totally wild experience, search for snow leopards with Valerie Parkinson, our award-winning tour leader and the first British woman to summit Manaslu without supplementary oxygen. Ladakh is also home to our most challenging trekking trips: the Peaks of Ladakh Trek, in which you summit two peaks, Vatseri and Dzo Jongo East, and tackle seven passes.
If you’re new to the region and looking to build up to the tougher walks in the Himalaya, opt for Darjeeling, Sikkim & The Singalila Ridge, a trekking adventure taking in visits to Gantok, the capital of Sikkim, and the delightful Martam village which offers panoramic views of Mt. Kanchenjunga.
