Markha Valley, Ladakh

Safar bahut hi khoobsurat tha! Ladakh ki sundarta dekhkar dil khush ho gaya. Thrillophilia ne sab kuch bahut achhe se manage kiya, especially oxygen support ka dhyan rakha. Leh bazaar aur Pangong Lake hamesha yaad rahenge.

Our Ladakh tour from Ahmedabad was truly fantastic and well organized. The scenic drive from Leh to Nubra via Khardung La was breathtaking. Thrillophilia handled all permits and environmental fees smoothly. The hotels were very comfortable with proper heating, making our stay cozy. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable trip.

First, I would like to say thank you to shyam@thrillophilia.com for their coordination and cooperation by writing my thrillophilia reviews.The trip was well planned and executed extremely well by the tour operators, I am very happy with the services provided by thrillophilia during this trek. 1) Our trek leaders Salman and Stenzin are really a wonderful Guys, they were very helpful and supportive all the time during trekking.Other staff members were also supportive and helpful. 2) Food quality and quantity was good. 3) Accommodation was good, camps were in good shape, neat and clean and quite spacious. Let's review the Trek about which I had read a lot at thrillophilia reviews. No doubt Stok trek was awesome as well as difficult. It would not be correct if I will say Stok trek is the most beautiful trek ???? but there is something which makes this trek different from all other treks and which is the main reason to attract tourist from every corner of the word, that is its height. At 20,500 feet Stok Kangri is the highest trekkable summit in India (6,153 m), what google says but when I googled it bit more and try to find if there is any other trek exist in this word which is above Stok, I did not get any information so I assume this is the highest trekkable summit in world ???? Highlights of this Trek 1) Trekking till base camp is not very tiring, which itself a big achievement as you would be able to achieve the height of 16300 feet ???? and the best part what I found in this trek is “you don’t need to walk too many hours to reach base camp” 2-4 hours walk a day is max you will walk. 2) Leh treks are totally different from Himachal and Uttrakhand treks in terms of scenic beauty, it’s a different experience, you would be able to see some splendid views of the Stok mountain ranges. 3) The last day “Summit day” will give you a totally different experience. You start your trek at night time which generally don’t happen in other treks. Moreover, you will get a chance to do snow trekking in summers as well “Only in summit Day”. Here is a great saying "the best view comes after the hardest climb" Very True!!! Preparation: I should say this is not a trek for first time trekkers but still if someone wants to give a try, Start your preparation at least 2 months before this trek as last day “Summit Day” is really a challenging one, compare to other days where you have to just walk 2-4 hours max here on final day you have to walk for a 12 – 14 hours and Trekking at night on Snow is bit tricky task and it becomes more challenging when you have to walk by putting Crampons on your shoes as rightly suggested by many people at thrillophilia reviews. a) Aim for 5 km running in 30 minutes b) Do breathing exercise which helps you a lot during this trek especially. c) Drink as much as water you can.

Stok Kangri trek was fixed last minute. No idea I had how this trek will be going to. But my family was also happy to come with me to do the challenging trek. We sought help from Thrillophilia to plan a trip to Stok Kangri along with some other regions in Ladakh for 10 days. It went out nicely than I expected. Firstly, the trip started late due to rain but after it started, the movement was at a steady pace. We went to the starting point of the trek and other places in a jeep and only some distance we covered by trekking. But those stretches were really amazing. The surroundings are full of mountains and rough lands. But Stok Kangri is differently beautiful. Natural beauty at its best. We went to Leh by flight from Mumbai. Met the tour guides there and started our trip. We had fun throughout the trip watching the towering peaks and the huts along the roads. It is a great place for family trips. But the cold climate may let you feel tired and sick but if you prepare well before heading out to the sites, you can escape from being sick.

If I have to describe this trek in one word, I will say 'wow'. Really, one of its own kind, we started from Leh and also got enough time to explore Leh. Zingchen, Rumbak Village, the monasteries, GandaLa, Shingo Village, Markha Valley, etc. were the best parts of this awesome trek.

My friend and I were very bored in life and looking for some adventure. Then she came across this Markha Valley Trek on this website and since both were reasonably fit, we thought we should do it. The entire trek from reaching Gandala La and Kongmaru La pass to interacting with the Markha village people and witnessing beauty we never though existed was an eye-opening experience.
