Lamayuru Hemis Trekking
Lamayuru Hemis Trekking A very interesting route beginning at the famous Lamayuru monastery After Hinju near Kongskila on the 3rd day of your Trek you will enter the famous Hemis National Park till you finish your Treknear Hemis at Martselang approximately you will walk 80 km in the Hemis National Park . There you can spot many rare wild animals/birds species amongst these are the elusive Snow Leopard, Ibex, Antelope, Tibetan Argali, Blue Sheep, Shapo, Marmot, Redfox, Tibetan Wolf, Eurassian Lynx and Tibetan Hare etc. However its very difficult to spot Snow Leopards during the Summer time. Among the birds fauna you can spot the Snow Patridge, Golden Oriole, Snow Cock, Golden Eagle, Horned Lark, Red Billed Chuff etc. From Chilling, we cross the river by cable trolley. A different set of ponies are on the other side of the river to carry our gear. We then continue on to Markha Valley - considered one of the most beautiful valleys in Ladakh. Here you pass through several Ladakhi settlements as you walk through their fields and observe their lifestyle. Several river crossings are involved, but these are not dangerous. Crossing several more passes, through gorges and wide open pastures, we end the trek at Marsteling village.

Our cooks are careful to prepare your meals with your enjoyment in mind. Typically these plentiful meals will be primarily vegetarian in nature with some meat or protein in the form of canned fish or tofu. This is typical of the Ladakhi diet in general. Our cooks are encouraged to use hand sanitizers such as alcohol based gels prior to food preparation. You are encouraged to do the same. Dishes are typically stainless steel bowls and pans and are cleaned after meals with scrub pads and soap. Our staff will provide rehydrating liquids in large quantities throughout your trek. Take advantage of tea, coffee, juice boxes and water whenever you can. At altitude it is typical not to feel much hunger or thirst. Make sure you stay adequately fed and drink plenty of fluids, both at meals and along the trail. During the summer, heat can be a real factor requiring significant intake of liquids while you trek.

A comfortable yet unique journey | Laura Blanco Recommends November 29, 2010 Our stay in Ladakh was a unique experience. I enjoyed the pleasant mix of culture and nature; while walking to secluded and age old Tibetan monastery’s, I often was amazed at the extraordinary scenery. For me, hiking is the best way to get acquainted with a foreign culture. This acquaintance was made even more agreeable because of the good care and reliability of Dreamland Trek & Tour. No worries during this comfortable journey, just walking, experiencing and, in the evening, enjoying a delicious meal, carefully prepared by the accompanying staff email:laurablancoc@gmail.com
Unforgettable Family Holiday Trekking with Dreamland Trek & Tour
Magali et Christophe PIRET-GERARD & Family July-Aug 2014
"Nous vous conseillons vivement l'agence "dream ladakh" qui nous ont organisé la totalité de notre voyage familial (2 parents et 4 enfants (de 15 à 22 ans) en Inde (depuis notre arrivée à l'aéroport de New Dehli avec visite de Agra Tasj Mahal et alentours en 2 jours jusqu'à notre retour à l'aéroport de New Dehli) et au Ladakh (15 jours). Ce fut un voyage extra-ordinaire! L'agence est très compétente, ouverte à toute proposition, réactive et rassurante. Avant d'entamer notre trekking Lamarayu-Chilling (1 jour de repos)-Chansumdo (11 jours), nous nous sommes acclimatés 3 jours à Leh. Les 3 jours pleins d'acclimatisation sont essentiels (Leh est à 3.500m d'altitude - prévoir granules COCA en homéopathie, somnifères pour les premières nuits et diamox si nécessaire). Les 3 premiers jours nous avons visité Leh, les monastères aux alentours et avons emprunté le 3ième jour la route la plus haute du monde (point culminant 5.600 m) en voiture (en très bon état) avec d'adorables chauffeurs. Si vous souhaitez de plus amples explications sur les monastères et le boudhisme il peut être intéressant de demander un guide spécifique pour les visites des monastères les explications des moines sur place étant laconiques. Nous avons logé à l'hôtel proposé par dream ladakh qui était très bien (bonne literie) et qui avait l'avantage d'être situé à côté de l'agence (le seul ennui c'est les chiens qui aboient pendant la nuit dans cette partie là de Leh).
Le trekking s'est très bien déroulé pour nous 6 grâce au guide et son assistante (charmants et très compétents). L'excellent cuisinier et son assistant nous ont fait de délicieux repas très sains et variés et fourni tous les jours de la bonne eau de montagne (bouillie pendant plus d'une minute pour tuer toute bactérie). Les tentes étaient très confortables et le staff très aidant. Des petits chevaux portaient nos bagages et le matériel et étaient menés par de très gentils meneurs ladakhis. Nous avons fait l'ensemble du trekking en 11 jours mais si vous avez un peu plus de temps, nous vous conseillons de le faire en 13 jours afin d'être plus relax et de mieux répartir les heures de marche. Nous avions également demandé qu'un cheval nous accompagne, ce qui a permis à la maman qui manquait de souffle de faire les ascensions à cheval et aux enfants d'être portés lors d'une foulure ou maladie passagère. En bref, ce voyage aventureux nous a permis de voir un pays où vivent des ladakhis charmants et authentiques, ou la nature est intacte et les paysages à couper le souffle. Ce pays nous a tous émerveillé et transformé."

Our typical day of trekking is based on an average level of client physical fitness coupled with the nature of our weather and terrain. This could include very warm days during summer, high passes, and the need to move between campsites which ensure adequate grazing for the ponies.
- 06:00 Bed tea is served to your tent. A great way to warm up before packing up your gear.
- 06:30 Hot water is provided for your morning wash.
- 07:00 Breakfast is served
- 08:00 Your personal packing is complete and your trail lunch is available to place in your day pack. Your guide will go over the day’s travel plans highlighting those areas along the route you will want to visit.
- 08:15 Off on the trail with your guide, or with instructions as to the route and where he will meet you if he needs to assist with pony packing (dependant on party size).
- 12:00 Lunch along the route, often in a meadow or beside a stream. A typical lunch might consist of a sandwich, juice box, cheese, boiled egg, boiled potato, apple, cookies or chocolate bar.
- 17:00 In camp with a pot of tea after a great day of sights and trekking. The tent is up and you are making notes in your journal and taking photos of the picturesque landscape.
- 18:30 Supper is served. Time for more tea and, perhaps, an early bed.
Expect to have rather lengthy days of travel with plenty of time to take photos and look at the scenery, visit tea tents or local villages as you pass through. You will have plenty of time in camp each evening to meet with other travelers, compare notes, read a bit, take photographs or visit surrounding villages or sites either before or after your supper is served. By starting early you will have made substantial progress in the cooler part of the day, and will be able to take your time ascending the passes which can be up to 17,000 feet (5,180 M) on some routes, arriving at your next camp with some reserves of energy for the evening.
