Day 1 - Tuesday 9 July 2013 - meet in Leh 3500m
We meet you at Leh airport (code IXL) and you can now relax.
2-3 - Leh 3500m
Time to relax or to explore, and the all important time acclimatizing. Leh is a sightseer's and photographer's
paradise.
4 - drive Tangtse 3950m via the Chang La 5300m
What a spectacular 5-6 hour drive (rough for the top section), and we stay at
the perfect altitude for further gentle acclimatization.
5 - drive Pangong Lake, Spangmik 4280m
A further short drive and we reach the ever-changing light of this 60km long
lake.
6 - drive Sasakul 4200m
Partly retracing, it is a couple of hours to the start point of our trek, and
after time here we are now acclimatized, ready to start trekking at these very
high altitudes.
7 - trek junction camp 4700m
8 - explore junction camp 4700m
9 - trek camp 5080m
10 - trek 5300m camp via unmarked pass 5780m
Yes, that is a HIGH pass! Hence the acclimatization en route.
11 - trek Tamki 5200m via Yongma La 5600m
12 - exploration
13 - trek camp 4750m
14 - trek 5150m camp
We know and love this area, and there are plenty of scrambling opportunities,
even to above six grand.
15 - exploration
16 - trek Gun La BC via Gongma La 5850m
17 - trek Kyungyam Chu via Gun La 5600m
18 - trek Kyungyam 4110m
19 - drive Leh
It is about a 10km hike down the valley to Kumdak to meet the road where Angchuk and the team pick us up, then ~3
hours drive to Leh. Lets have a celebration!
Day 20 - Sunday 28 July - trip ends
You are free to fly out today to Delhi - or to stay in Leh for an extra day or two... The Leh-Delhi flight should get
you to Delhi before midday, but do note that on rare occasions it can be delayed a day by bad weather.
