National Geographic made an award winning documentary in the Rumbak Valley regarding Snow Leopards. The trek will give you a great opportunity to see several ancient monasteries, nice landscapes and villages rich in culture and agriculture.

Rumbak Valley trek starts from Leh where we visit many legendary monasteries of Thiksey, Hemis and Shey Palace. Thereafter, we will travel from Spituk to Rumbak on a journey of four days.

This package also brings an exhilarating and thrilling white water rafting in ladakh from Chilling to Nimo. As we approach Rumbak fields the valley suddenly opens up with snowcapped mountains in the background. From the fields, the path turns left eastwards for the Rumbak village.
