Khardungla Downhill
.
.
An unforgettable ride on the newly explored offbeat trail of Khardungla Downhill, skipping the main road and tracing the ancient Silk Route itself. The rugged path is raw and thrilling, with narrow edges, icy water crossings, and stretches where you carry your bike on your back. Challenging, but every moment was absolutely worth it.

Our guests just completed their 5-day Markha Valley Trek via Zinchan!

While the classic 7-day route from Chilling to Chogdo over Kongmaru La Pass is stunning, it’s also one of the more demanding trails in Ladakh. For those looking for the beauty of Markha without the high-altitude strain, this curated route via Zinchan is the perfect alternative — shorter, easier, and equally breathtaking.

Swipe through to explore the trail that brings you face-to-face with dramatic canyons, remote villages, and surreal Himalayan landscapes — all without crossing the tough Kongmaru La!

🏆 We’ve done it again!

Ride For Peace!

In this moment of uncertainty, @ladakhbackpackers , in association with @letsmagucho , offered a complimentary electric cycle ride experience to our guests stranded in Ladakh. This small gesture from the borderlands was a reminder to stay calm, stay connected, pedal forward with peace, and to say no war✌️

From sunshine to snowfall, and everything in between, our trek from Gyamtsa to Phyang was a wild spring adventure in Ladakh. The weather danced between moods, but every step through shifting skies was a reminder of nature’s raw, untamed beauty. Worth every chill, gust, and golden ray.

A glimpse of the first day of Dastaan-E-Karwaan at Munawwar House Saboo organised by @naqsh_ladakh

Today, we came together to honor the memory of Ladakh’s beloved historian, Late Abdul Ghani Sheikh, while celebrating the cultures that have shaped this beautiful land. Through centuries of exchange along the Silk Route, Ladakh has become a unique blend of traditions, flavors, and stories.

Our ancestors welcomed visitors with open arms, embracing new ideas while preserving Ladakh’s essence. This event is a heartfelt exploration of those deep connections to our past, reminding us of the shared journey that continues to guide us toward a more harmonious future.

“Nyarma Gompa: The lesser known historical Gem of Ladakh”
.
.
Located in the south of Thiksey Monastery, Nyarma Monastery is a historically rich yet often overlooked site in Ladakh. Founded around 1000 AD by the esteemed “Great Translator” Rinchen-zangpo, Nyarma became a vital center for Buddhism in Upper-Ladakh (Margyul), thriving under the influence of the kings of Guge and Purang. Today, it lies in ruins, with remnants of five temples and numerous stupas hinting at its former splendor. Originally enclosed by a nearly rectangular wall, the compound’s decline accelerated around 150 years ago when locals removed the temple roofs, repurposing the wood after significant damage from Dogra invasions. This left the site vulnerable to the elements, eroding its art and architecture. Despite this, surviving murals and votive stupas, especially within a western stupa, provide invaluable insights into early Tantric Buddhist architecture. Recent construction efforts, including a nun temple (Jomo Lakhang) and educational facilities, juxtapose modern interventions with ancient ruins, preserving Nyarma’s historical significance while adapting to contemporary needs.

Belated Mother’s Day Post: An Unbreakable Connection
.
.
“In the heartfelt memoirs of my childhood, I revisit the enchanting moments spent with my extraordinary mother. Meet the woman who carried the wisdom of 70 nomadic years upon her shoulders. A portrait of strength, resilience, and love. Transporting myself back to the vast landscapes of Chushul, I recall the humble abode that was our sanctuary. The simplicity of our nomadic life fostered a deep connection with nature, and I was blessed to witness the magic unfold. One of my dearest memories involves helping my mother with the daily nomadic tasks. As the sun gently rose, me and my sisters would gather around the herds of cattles, patiently watching our mother milking the precious liquid of sustenance. Our shared laughter and synchronized movements created a bond that words cannot express. Reflecting on those cherished days, I am in awe of the strength and resilience my mother exhibited. Her tireless dedication to our nomadic way of life, her unwavering spirit, and her unconditional love shaped me into the person I am today. Forever grateful for the lessons she taught me. As I embark on my own journey, I carry the essence of my nomadic upbringing within my heart. It is a part of me, a compass that guides me through life's challenges. To my remarkable mother, thank you for instilling in me a love for nature, a thirst for adventure, and the courage to embrace the unknown”

"This photograph captures an elder from Skyurbuchan village, Ladakh, using traditional methods to extract apricot oil. Despite the rise of modern technology, some villages in Ladakh still preserve these age-old practices. However, this expertise is slowly fading away as more convenient and efficient machinery takes over. The quality of the oil extracted manually is unparalleled, and the skill and knowledge of the locals is invaluable. As we look towards the future, let's not forget to honor and preserve the wisdom of our ancestors, and the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. Let us cherish and protect these age-old practices, so that they may be passed on to future generations and continue to inspire awe and wonder”

"Planting season finds
farmers up at the crack of dawn to beat the days

Family members and neighbors work together to sow
the seeds that will bring forth food for their table in
months ahead.
Farmers often sing to their yaks to keep them in step

With each new planting season sacrifice , hard work,

unwavering hope and optimism that the land will

Team gearing up for the Gyamtsa-Nubra Valley Trek!
.
.
The trek breaks open to a beautiful topography that was once was a part of a trade route between India, Tibet and Central Asia. It was an important platform for caravans following the Silk Road used for swapping their mules for the famous double-hump Bactrian camels. The river Nubra following in the region is a major tributary of the Shyok river that flows parallel to the Indus on the northern side of the Ladakh range. A rich variety of vegetation and orchids can be witnessed along Nubra River which results in adding colour to the valley. Reach out to us for some unique trekking experiences in Ladakh

"Riding towards Kargil we made a breakfast stop in a small village right on the highway. While some omelette and hot chai was being prepared I took out my camera and started scouting the area. In a small lane right next to our home restaurant i saw this beautiful lawn and the dadi, indulged in chanting and counting her way on beads.
She made my notice and i asked in sign language,
pointing the camera towards her, if i can take a
photo. To my luck, a smile and a nod was shared. The sun came out at a perfect time but i think it
quickly got too hot for her, so she changed places
and it just provided me more perspectives to play
with. What a morning it was”

"THE PHYSIOLOGICAL
PROBLEM OF HIGH-ALTITUDE EXPEDITIONS
The amount of oxygen in air decreases linearly with
ascent and very approximately there is about half of
sea level oxygen present at 5500m. This falls to
roughly one third at the summit of Everest. It is
important to appreciate that the partial pressure of
oxygen at the summit of Everest is very close to the
limits at which human beings can survive at all.
Permanent human habitation ceases - due to lack of
oxygen, not terrain - above 5400m. Whilst
acclimatised man can survive for several weeks or
months at 6000m, deterioration is taking place
steadily, by the apparent reversal of the very process
of acclimatisation that has enabled ascent possible
to these altitudes.
CLIMB HIGH. SLEEP LOW
When climbing it is good to adopt the adage of
climbing high and sleeping low whenever possible.
At lower elevations, our bodies can recuperate from
previous days of work with sleep and food. However,
there is little advantage in sleeping above 21,000' to
acclimatise, since it is now accepted that above
21,000' there is no acclimatisation, only debilitation.
In a prolonged oxygen-deprived atmosphere,
working to capacity, lactic acid and other waste
products build up in the muscles, which produce
weakness and fatigue”

“One of the prime ingredients used by Ladakhis is barley. In fermented form, the barley is used in the production of a homemade beer called "chang". Traditionally, it is a very common part of their life and everybody drinks it during Losar, Tibetan New Year. Additionally a local Ladakhi bread (khambir) is prepared. Nothing is lost, everything is transformed.”

“Couldn’t have though of a better way to bid farewell to Ladakh than a visit to Gyapthago Heritage House in Stok for a traditional lunch experience with @ladakhbackpackers on my last day in Leh. The lunch experience was followed by a tour to their old house and the in-house museum and a visit to their mustard field on the backyard. Being an agricultural researcher, I was fascinated how the locals here grow and harvest their fields using traditional and organic means. A happy me trying to capture some last memories of my Ladakh tour”

"The Coldest Morning of My life -

It was around 6:15 am, when Waleed asked me if we are going for the sunrise we had planned in our excitement, while sitting in the warmth of the local space heater last night.

The heater had gone off now. The cold had infiltrated the room and the clothes we slept with were no longer enough. Yet, in that moment - I decided that we must go.

We stepped outside the now cold house into what felt like a barrage of ice spikes disguised as the wind. And yet, when we saw the sunrise far from the lake, I took off my gloves to click a picture with my phone.

In less than 10 seconds, I felt my hands go numb. For the next few hours, they would hurt uncontrollably . And yet, I knew I had to reach the river banks. Because I knew that I was on the verge of seeing something that was probably never meant for any human to see.

It was around -35 Celsius that morning when we reached the river banks. And I saw the clouds meeting the face of the lake and witnessed beauty that I felt I was born to see. We stayed there for 2 hours to see the sun rise. We kept walking non stop to keep the blood flowing. We did whatever was needed to continue witnessing the magic that was happening

"The 500m high pass is the highlight of the lonely Trek in the Markha valley. Technically easy, it is the height of this trek, that is particularly difficult for the trekkers. The highest peak of the Ladakh ranges, the 6400 meters high Kangyatse with its glaciers, dominates the scenery. But the six thousander Dzo Jongo can also be clearly seen. The pass connects the Markha with the Indus valley.

"Climbing The Kun Peak"

Only 70m to the summit from this point, but it asked for everything I got.

Just below this section we had to wait for almost an hour in cold and windy weather, because guides were fixing rope on this last stretch. Due to this long wait, I started feeling so tired and child. It took hell lot of effort to just get back into rhythm.

From here it took me 50 min to reach the summit, but those were the toughest 50 mins of the whole expedition.

"Norphel and Changchup blustered into a pair of enormous dung-chen, the flared bells resting on the parapet.

The Mandala had been completed, and the boys were summoning Guhyasamaja, the great Gelugpa. His temporary home among the grains of sand awaited"

I told little Norkit jokingly, "your wish will come true if you make a wish aloud while blowing the seeds of a dandelion ball". Her innocent heart didn't doubt a second as she went ahead to make a beautiful wish.
I thought, if wishes really do come true this way, then I would wish for her's to come true🤗
