Spituk To Hemis Trekking
An alternate trek to the Markha Valley is this one.We used this trekking route for hikers who wished to avoid the congested and touristy hiking routes, even during the height of its popularity. Since the construction of Chilling Bridge, hikers had to endure the dusty, noisy motorable road all the way to Hankar, making Markha Valley no longer a well-liked and enjoyable walk.
The Hemis National Park, which is well-known for its wildlife, includes the Spituk to Hemis Trek. It was in this park that National Geographic produced an award-winning documentary about snow leopards.
Stok Kangri, measuring 6153 meters, and Matho Kangri, measuring 5990 meters, guard this path. You may enjoy breathtaking views of the northern Korakoram range from any of the high spots, leading to the Peak Saser Kangri (7670 meters) This journey is through complete wildness; you will come across locals grazing their pashmina gaots and yaks in their summer settlements in the verdant marshes. There is always a chance to see uncommon wild animal species when in Hemis National Park. There is a very excellent chance of seeing the elusive Snow Leopard starting in October.

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. Carry 2 liters of water with you.

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.
