fit, intending trekkers must also be prepared to face the rigours of back country
travel. The best time to trek in this region is from June & september. Undoubtedly
trekking is the best way to explore this region, but it is alway advisable to
go on a trek through a travel agency, which will take care of all the arrangements
including camping gear, provisions, guide, porterage,staff, etc.
Making your own arrangements is not recommended.Please remember that Ladakh
is a harsh land where most villagers cannot part with their foodstock.Kerosene
or gas for cooking stoves must be carried in sufficient quantity to last the
duration of the trek as fuel is unlikely to be available along most of the route.

depends upon the land, despite its apparent starkness. As such, it is absolutely
important that trekkers keep the routes and campsites clean and avoid disturbing
the region's delicate environment.
