10 Hidden Trekking Routes in Ladakh: Explore Offbeat Trails for a Unique Adventure

Ladakh, with its stunning landscape and turbulent landscape, is the last uncharted playground of any explorer. Although routes like Markha Valley and Chadar Trek draw thousands of visitors annually, many off-beat routes are waiting to be discovered. Dreamland Trek and Tour Ladakh is all about designing off-beat trekking holidays so that travellers can tread where other travellers are afraid to tread. If you are in the mood for an ultimate adventure off the beaten path, then such Ladakh treks are a must-have on your agenda.

Situated on serene Tso Moriri Lake, Mentok Kangri is a non-trodden but thrilling trekking destination for travellers interested in a high-altitude venture. The journey is all about trekking past remote valleys, Ladakhi countryside villages, and otherworldly alpine meadows. Climbing up to the peak means trekking across sweeping scenery on the Changthang plateau, and it is the most rewarding hike in Ladakh.

Chilling to Sumda Chenmo Trek

This quirky gem is perfect for those trekkers who need peace and natural beauty. This trek starts in Chilling and winds its way through stunning gorges, age-old monasteries, and isolated villages to the final approach to Sumda Chenmo. The most significant plus point of this trek is experiencing Ladakh’s rich Buddhist heritage in a virgin setting.

Lamayuru to Zangla Trek

One of the most stunning but less-frequented treks, it connects Lamayuru Monastery of Yore with the remote Zanskar Valley. The high passes, villages, and rock faces along the trail await the trekkers, who will experience a wonderful mix of adventure and cultural discovery.

Phyang to Hundar Trek

An impressive trans-Himalayan trek, this route is from the quaint Phyang village in Leh to Hundar in the Nubra Valley. The trek crosses the Lasermo La pass (5,400m), where stunning panoramic views of the Karakoram Range are on offer. The trek is ideally suited for tourists who want to see various landscapes on a single outing.

Rumtse to Tso Moriri Trek

For fans of high-altitude lakes, Rumtse trek is less than a fantasy. The trek starts at Rumtse and moves through dramatic scenery, including gigantic plateaus, isolated nomadic hamlets, and unvisited lakes. Tso Moriri is the last stopover, Ladakh’s finest panorama. 

Kanji to Rangdum Trek

This virgin trail in the Zanskar district takes one through some of the most isolated areas of Ladakh. Trekkers traverse deep gorges, high mountain passes as high as possible, and huge meadows with the fewest opportunities to sight wildlife like blue sheep and Himalayan marmots. The trek is difficult but extremely rewarding.

Stok Kangri via Matho La

Though Stok Kangri is the most popular peak of Ladakh, the Matho La route is less travelled and no less thrilling. The alternate route provides trekking enthusiasts with the thrill of Ladakh’s unspoiled terrain without treading tourist routes.

Digar La Trek

It’s a good trek for those who wish to approach Nubra Valley in another way. It starts from Leh and crosses Digar La pass (5,350m), featuring extensive, expansive views over Shyok Valley. It is a moderate-level trek that may be completed equally by veteran trekkers and able-bodied beginners.

Spituk to Rumbak through Gandala Pass

This brief but thrilling trek goes through the Hemis National Park, where the mystical snow leopard is believed to inhabit. The trek provides stunning views of the Zanskar Range and is best suited for those who want a brief but challenging Ladakh trekking experience.

Lingshed to Photoksar Trek

This off-the-beaten-path trek, far in the Zanskar region, is a gem. It links two isolated villages, Lingshed and Photoksar, through unspoiled scenery and breathtaking mountain passes. Strenuous, the hike provides an odd feeling of remoteness and adventure.
