This trekking guidebook gives detailed descriptions of eight different treks across the Ladakh, Zanskar and Markha Valley in northern India. Ranging from moderate difficulty to very demanding, the treks vary between 6 to 12 days in length, each trek is broken down into multiple stages, and has information on difficulty, available accommodation and access, as well as the many combinations and alternative routes open to exploration. Trek 1: Kharnak, 148 km / 10 days. Starts in Kharu in the Indus Valley and ends in Pang, on the Manali-Leh road. Trek 2: Tsarab Chu, 174km / 12 days. Starts in Pang and ends in Padum, Zanskar. Trek 3: Darcha to Padum - the classic trek to Zanskar, 135km / 9 days. Starts in Darcha and ends in Padum. Trek 4: Round Sultanlango, 112km / 6 days. Starts in Padum and ends in Stongde, Zanskar. Trek 5: Padum to Lamayuru - the classic trek from Zanskar, 148km / 8 days. Starts in Padum and ends in Lamayuru on the Kargil-Leh road. Trek 6: Padum to Lamayuru via the Kanji La, 169km / 10 days Trek 7: Alchi - a circuit over five passes, 98km / 8 days. Starts in Alchi in the Indus Valley and ends in Phanjila, Wanla, Lamayuru, Nurla or Mangyu Trek 8: Markha Valley, 113km / 9 days. Starts in Spituk, southwest of Leh and ends in Hemis near the Indus Valley Known as Little Tibet; for both its landscape and culture, Ladakh lies at the northern tip of India. The region is bisected by the great River Indus and neighbours Tibet and Kashmir. This quiet corner of the Himalaya has developed a strong trekking culture over recent years for adventurous trekkers. Trekking in this remote, high-altitude region is extremely challenging, as paths are not signed and there are only a limited number of villages. However, its magnificent landscape (a huge area full of limitless trekking possibilities), hospitable people, rich heritage and limited number of tourists make Ladakh an amazing destination. The guide includes background information on local culture, history and religion, as well as all the planning detail you need on crucial aspects such as environmental responsibility, health and safety in the mountains, trekking practicalities and preparation for altitude.

Encompassing a vast stretch of land from the lush Kashmir Valley to the mountains and epic wilderness of Ladakh, the area now covered by the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir has long astounded visitors with its beauty. Marvel at the views from the roof of the world at Khardung La, trek along the frozen Zanskar River, stroll through the Eden-like Shalimar Gardens, take a shikara ride through the lotus-bedecked lakes of Srinagar and join the monks at Thiksey Monastery for early morning prayers by candlelight. After decades of instability, Kashmir is back on the tourist scene and keen to make up for lost time. This, the only standalone mainstream guide to the state, makes the ideal companion whether you want to white-water raft on the Indus River, relax on a houseboat or explore Buddhist culture at shrines up and down the region.

A l'extrême nord de l'Inde, enserré entre le Pakistan et le Tibet, le Ladakh et le Zanskar représentent l'un des derniers refuges de la culture tibétaine en terre libre. La fermeture des frontières, vers la fin des années quarante, mit un terme au passage des grandes caravanes qui sillonnaient la Haute-Asie depuis des siècles. Au milieu des années soixante-dix, l'ouverture de la région au tourisme accéléra le processus d'intégration du Ladakh dans le monde moderne. Depuis l'accession du Ladakh à une certaine autonomie au sein de l'Etat indien du Jammu-Cachemire, sa population, tant bouddhiste que musulmane, peut enfin prendre son destin en main. Protégé par son relatif isolement, le Ladakh-Zanskar reste un paradis tant pour les passionnés de culture que pour les amoureux de grands espaces. Ce guide constitue une excellente introduction à la culture, à l'histoire, la géologie, la faune et à la religion de cette région. La description précise de nombreux sites et monastères ainsi que les 22 itinéraires de trekking et une voie d'escalade en font un ouvrage de référence sur cette région de l'Himalaya.
