Often referred to as “Baby Trek” due to being the easiest in the region to complete, the Sham Valley trek is a perfect introduction to India’s region of Ladakh. As you ascend various mountain passes adorned with prayer flags that provide vibrant colors to these otherwise barren landscapes, you’ll witness expansive vistas throughout the way. The green fields of barley, cascading creeks, apricot orchards, and willows you’ll come across on your way to sleepy villages stand in stark contrast to the arid terrain which dominates the area. To enhance this experience even further, you’ll explore the Himalayan city of Leh, the capital of Ladakh, before the trekking portion and visit its famous monasteries. Discover this truly serene mountainous region with the help of your expert guide and immerse yourself in the captivating culture of Ladakh.
