The trek involves many river crossings, some waist-deep, along with taking you to a hight of 17,060ft while crossing the high pass of Kongmaru La. The trail offers some outstanding views of Mt Kang Yatse (21,300 ft). There are also incredible rocky canyons along the trail, as well as plenty of wildlife. 

The most charming bit of this trek however is the lovely villages of Markha Valley. The humble mud houses set amidst lush green fields are a spectacular sight in the middle of the barren mountains of Ladakh. Tibetan culture thrives in these villages, with traditional ornamented kitchens and Buddhist prayer flags, among other things Tibetan. 

The best part of it is that you can stay in such lovely homes throughout the trek. There are village homestays all throughout the trail which make Markha Valley one of the few tea-house treks in India. This makes the trek a very rewarding experience, without the logistics involved in camping.
