About the trek – 

The Rumtse to Tsomoriri trek puts on exhibition all that Changthang has to offer! From scenic revelations to high altitude passes (you cross 7 passes close to or above 5000 mts on this trek!), to the chance of spotting rare species of wildlife like Argalis, Blacknecked crane and Kiangs and finally to experience camping on the shores of two of the most beautiful alpine lakes (Tso kar and Tso moriri); this trek is a complete package! Long walks and high altitudes make it an extremely challenging trek. One requires high fitness levels to be able to competently complete this trek

While you are on this trek, you pass very close to a Spagnak Ri a relatively lesser known 6000 mtr peak. Having acclimatized well on the trek, one can use this opportunity to bag a six thousander! 

The area: – Ladakh is bordered by the Greater Himalayas in the west and south, the Karakoram in the north and the Tibetean Plateau in the east. These ranges form a natural barrier and does not allow clouds to enter this valley making it a rain shadow region and thus a cold desert. The term Ladakh translates to land of high passes. Some of the highest motorable roads in the world are here. Ladakh is a major tourist destination in the summers.

No

The common perception is that alcohol makes you feel warmer, however it also dehydrates you & dehydration can be fatal while trekking. Hence consumption of alcohol is prohibited. Smoking in camps is not allowed.

Wild animals do not frequent camps. They tend to stay away

We've been organizing treks for over two years and have had many female trekkers on our treks. In fact, a lot of them come solo for treks. There has never been a complaint about the atmosphere of a trek, about other trekkers or our professionalism. They have all been kind enough to leave a review on our website

Yes.

In all the camps where the accommodation is in guest houses/home stays, there will be proper toilets. On the day of camping, we will have toilet tents, the standard, most hygienic way of answering nature’s call. A deep pit will be dug in the ground and once you’re done, you will have to use a shovel & throw in some dirt from a mound of dirt kept nearby. These will be dry toilets with no water hence please carry tissue roll for the toilet tent (refrain from using wet wipes as they are not bio degradable), for the rest of the days, you can carry rolls as per your convenience.

Yes, you are ideally expected to carry your backpack. But you do have an option of offloading your bags on a mule for an additional cost. The cost will be 400/ per day per bag. One is expected to inform us about offloading 1 week prior to the trek
