Info
The Shang Phu to Rumbak Trek is a spectacular journey through the heart of Ladakh’s pristine wilderness, offering stunning views, diverse wildlife, and vibrant cultural experiences. Beginning with acclimatization in Leh, the trek takes you from the lush green fields of Shang Phu, across three majestic mountain passes—Shang La, Matho La, and Stok La—into the scenic Rumbak Valley. Along the way, you traverse alpine meadows, sparkling rivers, and remote shepherd settlements, with chances to spot snow leopards, bharal, marmots, and golden eagles. This trek combines natural beauty with cultural immersion, as you experience traditional yak herding villages and the rugged high-altitude landscapes of the Indian Himalayas.
