@Abdul: Glad this post brought back good memories from your own visit to Ladakh four years ago. This area is quite remote so it’s not surprising that it’s difficult for Indians to visit as well. But being remote is also part of its charm 🙂

@Jonny: Good luck with your hiking planning and glad this inspired you to take a look at India and Tibet. Not sure what the regulations are in Tibet at the moment, but another place to look into for hiking would be Nepal. Also a fascinating and beautiful place.

I must say youve just covered once in a lifetime experience by being to himalaya as well as covering ladakh-leh tour. These places are part of India a country with millions of people however trust me not many are able to manage to go to these places although being in the same country. Its not easy or in everyone’s ability to visit these places. I belong to India and have been to the srinagar leh-ladakh tour only once in my life but its been memorable 🙂 hence I can relate to the fun that you may be having by doing this trip. Thanks for sharing your experience! a nice read for me and brought back those memories of my trip there about 4 years back 🙂 Cheers.

@Shane: Congrats on your upcoming trek! One of the guys with us in Ladakh had recently done a similar trek to Everest Base Camp and had a great experience. Just remember, go slow, keep breathing steadily and enjoy freeing your mind in incredible scenery like this!

Thank you for sharing this. I will be heading on a 22 day trek to Everest Base Camp next year. I have been learning meditation for a few months now. I really look forward to the experience and have new excitement after you post. Thank you.

@Edmund: We’ll be writing more about all the details to organize and prepare for this trek later. But in terms of the schedule, it went like this. To get to Leh from Srinagar it took 2 days. Then we acclimatized in Leh for 2 days. Then the trek was 7 days total. On the first day we got a jeep transfer from Leh and then trekked for about 3-4 hours. On the last day we didn’t do much hiking but stopped at Hemis monastery on the way back to Leh. So, it was about 6 days on foot.
